' Slade looking to sign one or two more players '
Manager Russell Slade says Cardiff are "spinning one or two plates" in a bid to add to their squad before the transfer window closes on 1 September.

Slade spoke to and met owner Vincent Tan on the day they drew 2-2 at QPR in the Championship.
Scott Malone's spectacular late equaliser left Slade feeling as if they had won.
Now he hopes to strengthen his squad, saying: "It would be nice to add one or two."
The former Leyton Orient boss says being undefeated in their three opening Championship games has given the Bluebirds "a real basis to go forward".
He added: "We are spinning one or two plates to see if we can improve the group."
And Slade says there has been no change to goalkeeper David Marshall's situation.
The Scotland international has been linked with a move to West Bromwich Albion.
The Cardiff boss says Marshall could "possibly" play in the Championship at Blackburn on Tuesday, 18 August after he missed the league games against Fulham and QPR.
Simon Moore deputised against Fulham, making a mistake that led to a goal.
Slade says Moore's saves ensured Cardiff were in the position that allowed Malone to level.
"It was never in my mind to make a change just because he made one mistake in the first half against Fulham," said Slade.
"I think he really rewarded us today and made a couple of really important saves."

Moore is a good standard Championship keeper. Admittedly, Marshall has a little bit extra, but how many goals will that cost us over a season? Less than 10, IMO, probably only 5. The £5m we are expected to get for Marshall could easily offset those goals with the right purchases.

Makes me laugh.
Two draws so you are either undefeated hurray! or without a win boo! both statements are correct and after 40 games every game you draw you are minus 2 points that's already 4 dropped.
Come on Mr Slade you can see where we need to improve.
It starts with fielding the best 11 when the game starts!!
forever!
