Joe Mason will play a big part next season.
By Terry Phillps
It remains a mystery to me why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sent the young striker out on loan – and even seemed ready to agree a £2m transfer to Bournemouth.
Solskjaer did agree a two year contract extension with Mason before he went to Bolton on loan – and he is committed to the Bluebirds until 2018.
Russell Slade clearly sees the 24-year-old striker as a key player in his squad going forward, saying: “One of my first decisions since coming here was to bring Joe back in the January window. That’s how much he means to me.”
Mason and Eoin Doyle, a striker who showed he is far more than just a goalscorer with his movement and awareness, linked well. They showed that two small strikers can form a potent unit. The goal by Mason was his first for Cardiff in more than two years, while Doyle took his goals tally for the season to 29. Four of those have been for the Bluebirds.
The best Doyle moment for me, though, was his control, close turn, pass and run which led to Mason’s goal. He linked with Noone, ran onto the return and Mason scored following a low cross.
