Mark Hudson: “ Callum Robinson “

Mark Hudson is on media duties, and Callum Robinson's injury is first on the agenda.



"He took a pretty heavy whack in the game at Wigan. Testament to him he continued as long as he could. He’s not been on the grass for the first part of the week, but he’s looking to shake off some bits today. So fingers crossed he comes through.

"He’s a bit of a doubt. Like I said, he took a heavy whack and he continued for as long as he could, which shows his mentality. We’ve been working hard with the physios to try and get that to settle."

He probably doesn’t want to miss out given his form?

"Of course. He’s been brilliant since he came in. He's great to have around the group. He’s a leader and he’s got good experience of this level, and his form’s been really good. He’s one you want to keep on the grass, keep him involved in the team, and we know how important he is to us. We just have to wait and see towards the weekend with him."

Sounds like he's not a long term doubt which is good news.

Even if he misses Coventry, hopefully back for QPR.

It is a concern if it means Watters up top

Why would you think Watters ????

Etete or Ojo first !

Or even Harris

Wouldnt risk Robinson on Saturday especially with game Tues and swans coming up.. as long as Hudson plays with same attack intent without Robinson any replacement will survice..

I agree. Ojo in with Etete on bench.

Yes got to look at bigger picture.. what's point risking him on Saturday because aggravate injury and its 3wks out play safe benefit in long term... as for watters mmm Hudson did a nice sidestep in answering question about him.

Etete is terrible to be fair, have seen nothing about him that makes me think any diffrent, pre and post injury

Yep it looks like Ojo with support from Harris and O'Dowda

Ojo upfront??? Why on earth would we play him up front Can’t see him doing a good job up there at all.

Scored Saturday and could have had two. I’d play him wide though with Harris up top.

He just isn’t a striker … if anything that ‘finish’ at the end was an example of such. He isn’t great back to goal in my opinion but good facing goal and running towards

In reply to 1980s Bluebird, how can you say that Etete is terrible? The lad has only had about 30/40 minutes of football for the City in 3 substitution games. I agree he is not the finished article, but it is not fair to say he is terrible when he has come on at the end of games. He must be a bit nervous, as he has not played at this level previously. I thought he did well when he came on last Saturday and held the ball up well. Let’s encourage him and see what he is like when he has a full game under his belt. I sincerely hope he does well for us.

He's not scored yet so he'll be dismissed as shit in true Cardiff City fashion.
There's little tolerance among the City fans for strikers who don't score, no matter how how young they are, how little playing time they get, or for whatever reason.
Always has been, always will be.

It's not just strikers. A couple of games ago many wanted Nkounkou out of the side and replaced by Bagan.
Only now he's had the chance to adjust to football in the Championship can you see what a talent he is. Not perfect by any means but massive potential nonetheless, which will hopefully be realised this season.

Agree with that.

Can't see Watters starting either. Most likely is Harris and Etete I think.

Whoever starts, we will miss Robinson if he doesn't make it.

Ojo reminds me very much of Earnie. Not great with back to the ball but "fast as" when running onto a through ball.

Ok some say he is not a striker because he hit the post and should have made it 4-1. But there again Haaland has missed sitters this season. The fact is he got himself in the right position to score and had the ball been an inch to the right I think most would want him starting up front this weekend.

Maybe it has been the case that we have been searching for a striker and we have our very own striker already here?

I do hope 1 or 2 of the youngsters are on the bench this weekend though. If we are two or three up then give them a game - they deserve it.

You forgot the part where the same people will say we should never have let whoever it may be go once he goes to another club & starts scoring.

Still pinning your hopes on Watters?
Well, he makes great runs

Callum Robinson is pushing hard to shake off the knock picked up at Wigan Athletic last week, but remains a doubt.

Rubin Colwill is another closing in on full fitness, but still has some way to go as he continues his recovery from a hip flexor problem.

Mahlon Romeo (ankle) and Isaak Davies (knee) are both likely to be out.





Coventry will once again be without the services of Gustavo Hamer, who's set to serve the final game of a four-match ban.

Matt Godden could return to the Sky Blues attack, while Michael Rose is similarly hoping to take his place in defence.

Tyler Walker is out following an ACL injury picked up against Burnley, while Callum O'Hare and Liam Kelly are back in training.

Wow, Etete has played less than an hour and you’ve judged him as terrible !!??

He may not have shown much yet but he was highly rated at Spurs and did well out on loan.

Personally I’d like to see him play alongside Robinson, he’ll learn and offer something different.

Whatever happens, it’s too early to write him off.

How can people want to persevere with Watters and not want to give Etete a chance ?

Watters has now had 20+ games and failed, Etete has had about an hour in the first team and he’s around the same age. I still think Etete can offer something.

I feel the same but some still cling on to Watters.
Etete is raw but looks like he has something about him unlike Watters.

He needs time and to be brought through slowly imo.

Where anywhere in what I said did I mention Watters? Thought people had mentioned Etete but hey you keep banging the drum with whatever shit you want to make up.

It's been an ongoing theme on here, how many times has Glatzel been mentioned since he left?

I don't care who scores our goals as long as we win.
