BREAKING: MARK HUDSON APOLOGIES TO HIS PLAYERS FOR

Mark Hudson apologised to his Cardiff City players for getting his team setup wrong ahead of the 1-0 defeat by Blackburn Rovers.



Hudson attempted to change the setup of his City side for the New Year's Day encounter, employing a back three and wing-backs. While they were defensively pretty sound until the Dack goal, they barely registered a single clear-cut chance on goal. Cardiff are the worst scorers in the Championship and have not won for seven games, plus only two wins in their last 13 games.

Rumours have already started that Hudson as lost the dressing room as he changed the team week after week and has played every player available from his squad.

Speaking about his conversation with the players after the match, a candid Hudson said:





MARK HUDSON:


"We've had an honest conversation in there. I'm honest with them. They are honest with me. I've apologised. I've said the change of shape, I thought we could create more but we didn't, nothing glaring.”

"I apologised to them for that. Then we changed it second half and had a bit of impetus. Players were coming back for us, getting on the pitch, but we didn't really lay a glove on the goal.

"When they go 1-0 up, they were getting bodies behind the ball and playing on the counter which is difficult to break down.

"We have probably created much less today than we have done previously in the last two. But that's me, I'll take that. That's down to me to deal with. The players have got to keep believing in what we are trying to do."

Cardiff find themselves in an unenviable position. Sitting in 20th in the Championship table and could drop
Even further , the Bluebirds are also under a transfer embargo which drastically limits what they can do in the January window.

Hudson once again confirmed that the club were trying their best to get that embargo lifted, but couldn't provide too much of an update on the current situation.

"It's important to freshen up if you can and look to bring some quality in. But if that's not the case or is the case, we have to wait and see," Hudson said.

"We work on goalscoring and score time and time in training,Creative moments, creative players we've got. It's maybe a lack of belief but I tell them they shouldn't lack belief.”

“It’s a new squad still getting to know each other, we have the quality and the numbers, the belief is there in training, now we need to take it to the matches.”


"It's been a really tough three games in that respect. We've had a lot of travel. We can make a load of excuses. But we need to take better care of the ball around the box and find that cutting edge."

Mark Hudson:

Hudson told Sky Sports after the match: "Well, he missed the last game through injury. And we know how important he is to the club.

“I have players on the bench raring to go, so I know we are chasing for a goal, and trying to get on the pitch.”

“We improved but not enough for that vital goal”


“ We need to work on our shape.”

It's the fans who travelled all the way up there on new years day that he should apologise to after that performance.

Spot on.

Leaving well before the crack of dawn on the morning of New Year's Day to be rewarded with that display is worthy of an apology at the very least.
