' Solskjaer happy with start '

Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he his happy with his side's start to life in the Championship.

The Bluebirds have taken seven points from a possible nine in their first three matches as they bid to return to the Premier League at the first attempt.

They have won their last two league matches at home the latest 1-0 against Wigan on Tuesday.

"I don't think we could have asked for a lot more," said Solskjaer.

"Obviously I want to win every single game we play and I expect to win every game but Blackburn away in the league's opener was maybe the toughest we could have got.

"But we dug in and got a point there and we dug in tonight and got three points, so the attitude and work rate is fantastic."

Nicky Maynard scored the winner against a Latics side, Solskjaer sees as one of the Bluebirds main rivals for promotion.

The 27-year-old latched onto Kenwyne Jones's header following a corner to net from the edge of the six-yard box.

It took the Bluebirds into second in the Championship table, behind leaders Nottingham Forest only on goal difference.

Ex-Manchester United striker Solskjaer was impressed with Maynard's contribution to the win.

"It's a goal poacher's goal," said Solskjaer, "Nicky is where he should be.

"We didn't play the best of games tonight.

"We didn't give the strikers a lot of service, but of course you get a chance and you take it like Nicky did - he's earned his money."

Solskjaer said the mood around the Cardiff City Stadium has been lifted by their start to season, which also includes a Capital One League Cup victory at Coventry City.

"The whole environment around the club is a lot more positive," said Solskjaer.

"We've got a great group of players.

"They are all hungry, they want to improve, they want to develop and there's no egos."

Cardiff continue their Championship campaign at Wolves on Saturday 20 August.'

Wanderers will play Fulham away on Wednesday before facing the Bluebirds.

"Another tough game," said Solskjaer.

"I watched them against Norwich and I'll watch them against Fulham.

"Maybe we've got the advantage of that extra day of rest hopefully."

He needs to do something about our midfield,its very one paced and predictable, we badly need a player with pace and the ability to play that incisive pass to set up goal scoring opportunities, so its over to you OGS

It would probably never happen, but I would love us to have a crack at getting Van Ginkel on loan from Chelsea. They have to cull one foreign player and he is the most likely. I remember watching him at the U21 Euros last year and he was fantastic.
