'One of the nicest lads in the club' – Why Cardiff City players are 'buzzing' for golden boy Joel Bagan

Cardiff City players are delighted for the in-form Joel Bagan because he is "one of the nicest lads in the club", according to Ryan Wintle.

Bagan, who a week ago did not have a senior goal to his name, has now scored three in as many matches, the latest of which salvaged a point for the Bluebirds against Blackpool on Saturday afternoon.

The Irishman popped up in the box at the start of the second half and coolly slotted home from near the penalty spot, a strike that ultimately earned Cardiff a draw against Blackpool.

He has to defend his own back post and go and attack their back post and put the ball in the back of the net.
