Neil Warnock Hopes Changing Room ‘Chat’ Will Spark Response Against Wolves

Neil Warnock never likes to leave anyone wondering about what he thinks and his Cardiff City players got a piece of their manager’s mind in a behind-closed-doors session this week. On the back of two heavy home defeats to Watford and Everton, and having slipped back into the relegation zone, it was a timely reminder to the players what is at stake.

Gylfi Sigurdsson Says Cardiff City Must Keep Their Home Fires Burning If They Are To Survive

Gylfi Sigurdsson enjoyed his Welsh home-coming but says Cardiff City can only survive in the Premier League if they sort out their form on their own patch. Sigurdsson returned to Wales with Everton on Tuesday night and scored two typically classy goals as the Bluebirds were humbled 3-0 in front of their own fans. It was the Icelander’s first trip back over the border since he left Swansea City in a £45m move 18 months ago – an acrimonious departure that saw him refuse to go on the club’s pre-season tour of the USA.

Cardiff’s Aron Gunnarsson Insists The Stick Given To Everton Pal Gylfi Sigurdsson Leaves Him Bemused

Aron Gunnarsson has pinpointed Gylfi Sigurdsson as Everton’s biggest threat to Cardiff City tonight – and says he cannot understand some of the criticism given to his Iceland teammate. The two countrymen are set to face each other at the Cardiff City Stadium where the Bluebirds are desperate for points and to make amends for their 5-1 thrashing at home to Watford last Friday. Sigurdsson scored the only goal of the game when the clubs met at Goodison Park in November, but the former Swansea City playmaker has not convinced a section of his club’s fans since his £45m move 18 months ago.
