Tommy Doyle immediately started to repay Cardiff's faith in him as he produced a brilliant assist on his debut in the Championship.
Manchester City midfielder Doyle has swapped an unproductive spell at Hamburg for a relegation fight in the second tier at Cardiff, and has previously wasted no time in saying he wants to bring a winning mentality to his new loan club.
Such a bold attitude could be misconceived as arrogance, but Doyle soon let his football do the talking as he was given a first start in the Severnside derby at Bristol City on Saturday.
