Cardiff City and their fans cross the bridge into England for a Wednesday night game with Reading. Word on the street is 2000+ will be travelling which is a good turnout for a Wednesday night and let’s hope the three points make the journey back to Wales.
A win tonight will see the Bluebirds jump seven places to third as after last night results they dropped down to tenth. Cardiff City boss Dave Jones will possibly start with the same 11 has the Newcastle game there was a rumour summer signing Kelvin Etuhu could start tonight before news of his injury broke about his damaged ankle ligaments.
Dave Jones said about Etuhu, "He has gone back to Manchester City to see a surgeon who will decide whether something else needs to be done. The lad is distraught as he has had a long history of injuries but he has come through though that and we've got him up to match pace - then this happens. It's another blow for him so we will need to pick him up and make sure he goes again."
The Cardiff boss was in the market for another striker before Etuhu’s injury now he will probably have to seek out another loan signing. The chairman Peter Ridsdale agreed with fans at the recent meeting at Merthyr for the need for a new striker and said there were funds available. Now was Etuhu out for a reported eight weeks will Jones had to replace him as well.
"I'll sit down and have a chat with the chairman to see if I can force the issue. But everything is tight here at the moment." Jones told BBC Sport.
It important the Cardiff get back to winning ways after two defeats in a row at Reading with games coming fast and thin, QPR home on Saturday the Carling Cup game against Aston Villa on the Wednesday followed by three games in seven days before another international break.
