Wingers and defenders needed with tough season ahead
[BBC Sport] After Saturday's EFL Cup win over Swindon, we asked Cardiff City fans what manager Brian Barry-Murphy's promoted side still needs for the Championship season which kicks off against Wrexham on Monday. Here is what some of you had to say: Mark: Unless Cardiff bring in at least another three or four players we will be in a dog fight at the wrong end of the table. We need another left-back, at least two midfielders and another attacker. With what we have, any major injuries and the talent is not there to replace them. The youngsters did well last season but this league is totally different. This season looks to be the toughest this league has looked in a long time. Especially with the teams that came down and the already established Championship sides. Dafydd: The Championship looks really tough this year. The challenging Wrexham game will highlight the level we need. The centre-back position really needs strengthening. Less urgent but as important is a left-back and a winger. I am sure BBM is better aware than we are of what is needed. Alex: I hope I'm wrong, but I've been watching City for nearly 60 years and we seem to be stumbling towards relegation, even at this early stage. We've let Wintle go and replaced him with another League One player. Reinforcements needed in all areas, but it may already be too late. BBM needs to realise that footballers can play beyond the age of 25. Russell: We need some urgency around the box. Although the wingers get quite a lot of the ball, once again, apart from Ashford, they don't deliver any sort of cross let alone a dangerous one for Salech etc to get on the end of. Wingers required. Nigel: Currently Cardiff will struggle in the Championship. The defence twinned with injuries is nowhere near to coping in this division. Simon: After Saturday it is clear that we need strengthening in central defence. We also need cover at left-back and for Salech too in case of injury. The core of the team should be up to this level but the squad depth is thin. It should be a big crowd on Monday and on TV so we'll inevitably blow our chances! This is Cardiff City we're talking about...
