International football over until next month and tonight Cardiff City resume their battle to climb up the league table. The visitors to the Cardiff City stadium today are Bristol City, for this Sevenside Derby with the game live on Sky Sports.
There will be some new faces in the dugout with new boss Neil Warnock his assistant Kevin Blackwell with Ronnie Jepson first team coach. During the international break, our new boss did not give the grass a chance to grow under his feet bringing in four new faces wasting no time strengthening his squad.
The Bluebirds have made Kieran Richardson their fourth signing of the Neil Warnock era and along with Marouane Chamakh have signed short-term deals until January. I would expect that if they were successful during their stay with the club, the deal would be extended. Also joining the squad is Junior Hoilett and Sol Bamba who both arrived in South Wales looking for new starts.
It is unclear if any will be involved in tonight’s game. Will any start the game or be on the bench?
Reports in the press and social media are suggesting the biggest attendance of the season even with the game being televised. It shows a belief in boss Warnock can turn the season around. The Bristol City wurzels fans will be parking up their tractors in numbers at the CCS with all visitors tickets sold (2,000) will attend.
Form wise Bristol City have won their last four games and are currently 5th in the league table while Cardiff have just won a single game in the last four and we know where we are in the table. A win would lift Cardiff out of the relegation zone pending on other results over the weekend and get the fans excited for football again. City will not have to wait long for their next game on Wednesday we are home again with the visitors Sheffield Wednesday coming to South Wales.
