:bluebird: :bluebird: “ MARK HUDSON UPDATES CARDIFF CITY FANS “ :bluebird: :bluebird:



Thursday 6th October 2022


Hudson so far has won 1 and drawn 1 of his first 2 games in charge, City next face Wigan away.
It looks like Hudson has been given an indefinite amount of games and has been told he can bring in an assistant.


Cardiff are 15th in the Championship but only 3pts of the play-offs.

Wigan were last night beaten by lowly Hull City.







Cardiff say there is NO recall clause in Cedric Kipre's season-long loan deal from West Brom. Massive boost for the Bluebirds.


MARK HUDSON:



"Romeo has got an injury to his ankle. It’s settled better than it looked after the game. It’s looking likely he will miss the weekend. Waiting on the timescale.

"He has been really good. He’s a good character. Top professional and started the game really well. It’s a shame.

"Throughout the season he has been a great addition to the squad. Fingers crossed it’s not too bad."





Not had back to back wins yet?


"No. Always the first time though! We will go up there with a little bit of confidence and togetherness showed all the way."

Surprised West Brom aren't looking to recall Cedric Kipre?



"I won’t pick up the phone! He is playing really well.

"Playing with a smile and he’s enjoying it. That’s all you can ask."

MARK HUDSON:



Can’t take risks?






"If they are not fit to start they won’t be involved. Injuries happen. Let’s hope it’s not too long.



"Perry has been brilliant. I praise him all the time. His form has been so consistent for such a long period of time.

"He reads the game so well. He’s good with the ball. His positional sense is really good. He works well with Cedric. But Jack has been pushing to get involved. He came on and did well as well. Testament to them as well."

Taken four points?


"Yes. We knew what we were coming up against. But when they come to our stadium we have to show them something.

"Away games are tough. We are travelling tomorrow afternoon. We looked at Wigan today, showed the players what to expect. Have to play with the same level of intensity. We have asked them to go up there and perform."

Cardiff City manager Mark Hudson said:



"Brilliant. I'm so proud of the players, what they've committed to, what they've bounced back from with four points against two good teams.

"The team showed their togetherness again, the fight for each other, the press from the front.

"The subs we made showed they're committed. I spoke to Sparky [Mark Harris] before and told him how important he is, and he comes on and scores a screamer.

"We could have put the game to bed a bit earlier, which I told them, but we can't be perfect."

A few changes you brought in?




"You’re not going to change too much. Just little bits we can add to what we’ve already started. Just adding bits to what we started.

"We have got to play with intensity.

Encouraged by chances?





"Yeah it’s pleasing to see. More we do that it’s going to be more regular occasions for the forward players to be in those attacking areas.

"A few last-ditch tackles from them, the more times we are in those areas we will take them quicker."

Update on Adams, Colwill and Davies?





"Isaak is starting to get going but is limited with weight-bearing. Rubin had a nick in his hip-flexor.

"Rubin is out for a couple of weeks maybe, he has started to creep back on the grass.

"Ebs is edging closer back to the grass. Before the World Cup is the plan. He is such a good character to have around. He has stayed so positive.

"He is still walking around the training ground with a smile on his face. I think it looks likely he will be back before the World Cup. We will have to see if he reacts when he gets back on to the grass."

Closer to bringing in a coach?



"Getting there, yeah. Getting there. But there’s no rush. I don’t want to rush and make the wrong decision."

Joe Ledley? Gabbidon?

"There is going to be speculation. Two people who have been at the football club and know what it means.

"I have to make sure it’s the right one."

Is Vontae Campbell in contention after Romeo?




"He has been training really well. Really well. He puts himself about in training, leaves it all on the grass.

"Hopefully we won’t lose Mahlon for long. It shows the squad we’ve got."

Harris is a committed player?




"That’s all we can ask. He is a top top kid.

"He tries every day. He does everything he can to make him better. I spoke to him why he was being left out, told him he would have his chance.

"It’s a squad game. There are so many games. We have five subs. The squad needs to be there then."

Might Harris now start?




"You look at his attitude, it’s been unbelievable. He comes off the bench and scores a screamer.

"He is another playing with a smile on his face. I’m never going to tell you what I’m doing! Everyone is pushing for selection."

Five subs a hindrance?

"The players you can bring on, the teams that use all five subs. It changes that intensity."

The penalty save v Blackburn Rovers





MARK HUDSON:


"Rocky (Allsop) did brilliantly, the homework they do behind the scenes... the information which was brought on by Sparky. He delivered the information and he saved the penalty. But Rocky did try and raise the heart rate a little bit!."

"Graham Stack goes through all different types of penalty takers. They go through it all, how hard they work behind the scenes, the little details, and that's one of them.

"Sparky told Rocky to tell him what he (Hirst) had done previously and Rocky has done his duties. I think we'd have been hard done by not to get three points if I'm honest.

"People work so hard, the analytics team, they work day and night to deliver all the information. It just goes to show the team behind the team."

Mark Harris, the message carrier, said: "Stacky was screaming at me on the side. I was thinking, 'What does he want me for?'

"He said, 'Tell him, if it's Hirst hitting the penalty, go left.' So I told him. He went and he saved it. I'll take the assist!

"As soon as the final whistle went I ran over to him, I was buzzing for him. If they score that it's one point, if he saves that it's three points. That's huge for us."



Hudson, who earned his first win as caretaker manager. At the end of the match, the vocal Canton Stand belted out "Mark Hudson's Barmy Army", which the interim boss was pleased about.

"It means you are doing something right," he said of the chants.

"We didn't start the game very well, took 10 minutes to get going, which you cant do against most teams in this league. But I thought the second half we started well. And the subs we've made showed they are all committed.

"Sparky (Harris), I left him out, I spoke to him before and told him why, because of the shape change, but I told him how important he is and obviously then he comes on and scores a screamer.

Cedric Kipre has been included in the Championship Team of Midweek earlier today.



CEDRIC KIPRE:

"We've got a big squad, a new squad, but everyone gets on with each other, and it feels like we've known each other for a long time," he said.

"I think we've started feeling that on the pitch now, which is great. I hope we keep going that way.

"The fans are great. They've been patient with us, and even if we miss a couple of chances, they are still behind us. This is very important for us as a team, and I hope they keep going that way.

"The games are coming really quick. We just need to play, recover, and go again. I think we're ready for it."

Plan with Joel Bagan & Tom Sang?


MARK HUDSON:

"We have a plan for everyone. Joel was out with an injury. He is starting to push to come back in and around the first team, training. He is another player again playing with a smile on his face.

"Sangy had an ankle tweak a couple of weeks ago. He’s now pushing again. That’s all I can ask for. At the weekend though you can only pick 18."

Hudson responds to Ledley and Gabbidon speculation

Mark Hudson responded to questions about speculation surrounding Joe Ledley and Danny Gabbidon being linked with the vacant spot on Cardiff City's coaching staff.

Hudson has confirmed he has been given the green light to add another member to his coaching staff, with Ledley's name being flung about on social media in the last few days.

Asked if there was any update on the search for a new coach to join his staff, he said he was "getting there" but does not want to rush the process.

Asked specifically about Ledley and Gabbidon, Hudson replied: " There is going to be speculation. Two people who have been at the football club and know what it means… I have to make sure it’s the right one.

"I’m best mates with Joe so obviously he is going to be linked. They have been here before. But I have spoke to quite a few coaches in the game. I just want to make sure it’s the right one for the football club. It won’t be rushed."
