This was never going to be an easy transfer window for Cardiff City. There was no money available, but the squad had clear limitations that needed to be addressed. There is also always constant speculation regarding their best player, and did I mention that there was no money to spend?
It was a baptism of fire for Steve Morison, who is still finding his feet in a new profession, but he kept calm, carried on and in the end, in my own opinion passed with flying colours. Cardiff look leaner, meaner and ready for the challenge ahead, which is to dig themselves out of a hole of their own making.
Cody Drameh, Tommy Doyle, Alfie Doughty, Jordan Hugill and Uche Ikpeazu all reported, ready for action and all look set to play a key part in the second half of the season. Ikpeazu has yet to feature, having only arrived late on Monday, but will likely play some part at Barnsley on Wednesday. First impressions of those that have played are very positive.
