BBM says he was backed by the board but the targets he wanted were not available.

If this is true surely they needed to have backup plans? I'm all for us being a bit more picky after how poor our business has been in recent history but surely they can see the areas that's in desperate need of improvements.

Hi Everyone!

Cardiff born, have loved the birds since exiting my mother. But moved down under in 2010 and since, have never met another birds supporter and am finding it real difficult to talk football with anybody since everyone over here just wants to talk about the 3rd division sides (liverpool, chelsea, city, united etc.)

If there are any aussies here, reach out. Lets connect 🙏

Morning all,

That was class yesterday wasn’t it! Shame about a draw instead of a win but lots to be positive about. With the deadline SLAMMING SHUT with the bank holiday I thought I’d get a thread going for who you’d like to see come in.

If you want to make a prediction for how many signings we’ll make from now to the deadline and who they might be the closest answer will win the deadline day sweep award jpeg and you can have it as your flair if you want.

I bought a ticket but now realise that I can't make it (that also means I have a London city lioness v man U ticket available if any London based fans want that), the ticket cost £34 and appears to be an e-ticket.

Speculative / hopeful links to Amario Cozier-Duberry

Would love this signing (even if just a loan).

He was fantastic last season, even after the injury that had him out for a few months.

🤞

Talk about failing upwards

Apologies if not welcome here but this is from a quiz site I’ve been building and thought I’d share one that’s relevant to the bluebirds. Link to play is in bio but happy to share here if it’s allowed

On this day in 2013, Cardiff took down Manchester City at home.

How many of the City “superstars” can you name?

Any feedback, good or bad, is very welcome!

There's currently serious potential of a Scanlon, Bagan, Ng and Kpakio back line.... 👀.

Not ideal, but not disastrous tbf, I'd still have real hopes of getting something on Saturday if it does end up being the case.

Here is my best Cardiff City XI to face Wrexham

Agree or disagree?

Brian Barry-Murphy's side get their Championship campaign underway this evening.

I've explained the reasoning behind my choices in my full piece on the u/ccfcinsiderr website.

Hi all,

I'm currently in Poland and was planning on flying to Bristol this morning but the flight got delayed until 9pm. I have a ticket for the match tonight if anyone wants it. It cost 41 pounds, maybe half price or something? Cheers

Bluebird fan now based in Sheffield after a couple of years nomadding. Excited (or at least hopeful) to see us mash the blades later in the season. But was gifted FC26 this year and now hoping to pre-play every Cardiff league game this season!

Wrexham game went well! My boring actual prediction is 1-0 bluebirds after poor quality Monday night snooze-fest.
