One of the most surprising and pleasing aspects of Cardiff City's start to the season has been the partnership which has been struck up between West Brom loanee Cedric Kipre and his silky defensive partner, Perry Ng.
It would be remiss not to say there were doubts over that pairing at the beginning of the campaign. All the noises from West Brom seemed to suggest that Kipre had a mistake in him, while Ng's lack of height was expected to leave the team vulnerable in the air.
It was a case of weighing up risk and reward from Cardiff's coaching staff, but it's fair to say their bold strategy has paid off and that partnership now looks to be one of the most watertight in the team.
