If you want an optimistic reminder of the true spirit of football and specifically to be an R then just watch the interview with Sinclair. That kid engenders everything thatās good about the club.

If Cardiff play in the leisurely way they did today with none of the urgency they showed in the first half against Leeds they will struggle. Ramsey is a shadow of the player he was and his mistake to lose possession and gift us the opportunity for Sinclair to make a mature assist has reminded Cardiff fans even a returning hero will not get any respect from the opposition. We played on the break and capitalised on their mistakes. Itās a welcome result for us but there are plenty of opposition teams that will not be so lax.
2 games in and only 2 teams have 100% record and even those 4 games comprised of 3 that were by a margin of a single goal. I still think a couple of big boys will run away at the top but the chasing pack will all be within a few points of each other from 3rd down to well below half way and a few good results will make the difference. Theyāll be a second pack of 8 or so that will be battling at the bottom and weāll be among those.

Superb result although I think Cardiff are going v to struggle all season

Cook is an excellent signing. I do have some hope that by the end of the window weāll be a lot more competitive

When we signed fox and Colback I changed my prediction from a 6-0 defeat to only 4-0. Wish Iād left it as it was.

If the offer for Field is very good, we should let him go especially if itās a big club that would advance his career.
As good as he is, something like 8m would make a huge difference to the overall squad strength and allow us to plug a lot of gaps. Imagine being able to get a right back, centre back, striker and a replacement midfielder. We donāt need to spend massive amounts to get competent players.
Some of GAs targets are only Ā£350k and right now we donāt even appear to be able to afford that.

One of my best friends is a Forest fan and says we have a gem in Colback and donāt worry about his age he is fit as a fiddle. He also stays off social media nonsense, interviews sensibly and is A model pro.
Cook also is excellent if we can get him but Forest just lost 2 CBs to injury so they might retain him.

Now linked with 33 year old Jack Colback on a free from Forest although itās come from his agent so could be bull

At this rate the squad will be well equipped in that League 1 Surely some of our own youth would be as good as players getting released from League One Clubsā¦.. I think we will end up on paper with one of the weakest squads in the Championship or for sure the bottom five. Trent Rendall from is also playing at CB

Left centre back more recently. That's the position he's been signed for. That makes more sense thanks

Glad they finally got another deal done. This guy looks a decent addition, given our budget.
A left back so what does it mean for Ken and Lareche? Are they all going fight it out for one position?

Excellent designs. The wider hoop is like the iconic kits of the 70s but with the extra red piping. Menace was always the best away kit.

The most prevalent thing experienced keepers have brought to our club recently is injury.
Iād rather know just how GA intends to play. If he wants a keeper to pass it out and receive the ball to feet to re-distribute like so many high possession teams do then his choices will be limited. Itās a tactic that says sooner or later, the keeper will make a mistake. Thatās why De Gea is considered both brilliant and terrible in equal measure.
Iād rather we just get a shot stopper with a big kick. Weāll never be able to compete as a possession team. It was only when we gave up on that last season that we protected the entire defence from calamitous mistakes got some crucial results.

I hate our fans sometimes. A totally mental over-reaction on the anti-social media platforms. Weāre having a scorching summer, swapping the fixture is a no- brainer to give a few more precious days to prepare it.

Thatās a great bit of business to tie him in to a long contract and also pleased he has shown us some loyalty as he had plenty of suitors.
Really thought heād be out the door.

Injuries have definitely been a problem so I hope this guy works preventatively as keeping the squad all available would be the equivalent or 2/3 new signings

Iāve been posting and reading your posts here for many years now. Sorry, hope you donāt mind a moment of blatant football related self trumpet blowing.
Iām a youth football coach with Frome Town United and I got awarded Coach of the Season at our clubās presentation at the weekend. Club has over 70 coaches and literally hundreds of boys and girls teams so thatās not bad.
My twin lads also won awards and now have a chance to play for Frome Town FCās u18s.
I know itās not top level football but there are amazing grassroots clubs all over the country with countless volunteers giving their time. Next time the Rs arenāt playing, check out if your local grassroots team have a game. They all need the support.
Anyhow, Iām a proud Dad š

Tim Iroeg has posted on his personal instagram appearing to say he will be back with us for another season on loan. I would genuinely be very, very surprised if that is what he meant and equally if he was coming back on loan again next season. I just read it again and if itās not legitimate itās a very strange thing to post. Itās a compilation of his action for the Rs along with the phrase āWe go harder next seasonā. Jimmy Dunne has replied saying he canāt wait to have him back. Both accounts are legit and not fakes. Butā¦no official announcement.

The only rumours I am reading about are Dieng to Reims and an out of contract right -back, Sean Clare, most recently with Charlton.
