'I'd be 100% for it!' - Kieffer Moore makes big Cardiff City job admission

The Bluebirds striker scored twice in Cardiff's 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town




Saturday 6th November 2021



Cardiff City striker Kieffer Moore said he would be "100 percent" for Steve Morison getting the job full time after the Bluebirds earned their first win in 11 games with a 2-1 triumph over Huddersfield Town.

The change in style of play has been noticeable since Morison took the reins and supporters have been receptive to a more appealing brand of football.

The players seem to enjoy it, too, none less than Moore, who believes that this dramatic shift in style could help him rekindle his scintillating form in front of goal like we saw last year.

"I'd be 100 percent for it!" Moore said when asked if he'd like to see Morison in the hot seat permanently.

"He has brought a real system to our game and you can only see it by watching just how much we have improved in such little time.

"You can time runs better. You've got time on the ball. You can't, as we were doing, just turn possession over.

"I feel like we really impose ourselves on teams now and making our own luck.

"It's been a much-improved system and it's been for the better."



Explaining why he believes this new system will be more conducive to him scoring goals, Moore added: "You could say I had a slow-ish start, I had a couple of things go against me.

"I'm not going to hold that against myself. I know what I can do, everyone knows what I can do.

"It's on me to get myself going. I think this change of management has helped me. It's got more players around me, I've had more chances on goal since that [change]. I'm not saying that's reason, but the more chances I get the more likely it is I can repeat last year."

There seems to be a real buy-in all around.

Supporters had seen enough of the drab football under the previous regime and are now seemingly enjoying the lion's share of what Morison is trying to do.

And Moore admitted he has really enjoyed the shift which has been implemented over the last fortnight.

"I've loved working under him," the striker added.

"Moro's been great. He's not been afraid to dig us out. He's not been afraid to put us in our place and tell us what we should and shouldn't be doing.

"He has given us a real structure and way of playing. I think everyone can see that.

"It's been working. Staff, players and everyone has bought into the way he wants us to play."



Morison's Cardiff have won one, drawn one and lost one. They rode their luck at times against Huddersfield and it was by no means a complete performance, but at least there is finally one back in the win column.

What is important, of course, is that the victory must be the start of something meaningful, not simply a flash in the pan.

"It's been hard losing every week," Moore conceded.

"We've been coming in feeling sorry for ourselves, which is not what we want. So coming in, especially after a 93rd-minute winner, is always nice.

"Everyone was buzzing. That's what the atmosphere should be like.

"We are all coming together and pushing to get more results like that.

"We've got some great players in that dressing room. With this new structure, new system, we just need to keep buying into it, trusting it and keep executing the plan."

We now have the international break, of course.

Whether Morison is given the job permanently or there is a new man in situ for the away trip to Preston on November 20 remains to be seen.

Well said

Kieffers wishes won’t come into the equation at all.. or at least, shouldn’t.

So if the players are all buying into the way the manager is playing it shouldn't be taken into consideration? Can't say I agree.

If it goes tits up .not only will we need another manager .we will probably need a new u23 manager as well.
Keep morison where he is .hes doing a great job

He is doing a great job. And it probably hasn't gone unnoticed throughout the leagues. If he continues it Wouldnt surprise me if he poached from the club. Either at a better teams academy or as a manager in league 1 or 2.

He has done a good enough job to keep the job till christmas at least. No one knows the youth set up better and that is going to be very handy in the future as we are not going to be signing many players.

Its a wrong road to go down imo.. especially given our position. Time will tell..

Employing Morison?

I do get your point I.e not letting players dictate who we employ but if they're performing and they have a good relationship that's something worth paying attention to imo.

give it go the best we played in a long time and Moore is an important player to us and maybe they will listen to him

I agree. Just let Morison carry on in the caretaker role for the next few weeks. There is no hurry unless a target from without the club is in danger of going elsewhere; and that could only be Flynn who doesn't appear to be a popular option among Cardiff supporters. Many are the men who've been red hot while in temporary charge only to cool rapidly once their position is made permanent.

I was blaming Covid or transfer talk for Kieffers lack of form but its probably to do with the lack of any decent service since Harry left..... Decent corner from Ralls and then a delightful intentional cross from young Davies.

Round pegs in round holes, a proper winger laid a ball up for a target man.

We have few options other than the academy until the January window, so why not give it to the bloke who knows them best until then.
