Cardiff City boss Steve Morison responds to transfer dealings

Cardiff City had a fairly successful January transfer window, bringing in two strikers towards the back end of the month in Jordan Hugill and Uche Ikpeazu – and boss Steve Morison believes so too, telling the club’s official website that his side are ‘in a much better place.’

The Bluebirds have struggled to get going this year, with the side already sacking one manager so far this campaign. After signs of promise under Mick McCarthy, the club eventually sank like a stone in the division and it led to a parting of ways with their former boss.

He was then succeeded by Steve Morison and after an initial flourish, the team have once again struggled to pick up points. It has left them close to the drop zone and their new manager will be desperate to ensure they pull away from the relegation places in the second half of the campaign.

He’ll be hoping that some of their new recruits can help them do that and it has worked out so far, with Jordan Hugill firing in a goal at the weekend against Nottingham Forest to help Cardiff pick up the three points. With a game against Barnsley up next, Morison now believes that his team are well-equipped to kick on in the second half of the campaign.

Speaking to the club’s official website on the back of the transfer window, the manager said: “From our point of view, we need people who want to be here and want to fight, who make us better as a group and can push us on. I think we’re in a much better place than where we were 24 hours ago.

“We’ve got excellent options in areas, we’ve got experience and youth, and a bit of pace in the team. We’ve got a bit of everything.”

Morison then appears to be pleased with the way the winter window went and after bringing in some more of the type of players
