' NEIL WARNOCK UPDATING ON CARDIFF CITY PLAYERS '
Sunday 19th November 2017
NEIL WARNOCK:
"My thinking behind the midfield I set out against Brentford."
"I thought Loic Damour did a great job on (Ryan) Woods, and Gunnars gave us that lift when he came on. He just changed the tempo and got the crowd up aswell. The other lads worked really hard aswell. I'm pleased for Danny Ward, the applause he got was well deserved."
' Aron Gunnarsson '
"Aron Gunnarsson felt good yesterday. He did aggravate it a little bit in the warm up, he actually landed on Pilkington and just jarred it slightly. We left it to him to tell us if he felt he could do 20 minutes. If he didn't feel right we were going to leave him altogether. We didn't want to risk anything."
"It's obviously not cleared up altogether yet. Gunnars will play if he can whenever he can. Hopefully he'll have no reaction tomorrow and be available for Tuesday."
' Nathaniel Mendez-Laing '
"Nathaniel Mendez-Laing said he was 90% on Friday. I don't want to risk anybody, I'd rather him be ready. We can't afford a Ken Zohore, something that might be four or five weeks."
" Kenneth Zohore "
"Ken's is not looking overly good with him so we're going to see what happens with him."
' Frederic Gounongbe ' ' Bruno Manga ' Sol Bamba '
"Fred was breathing through his backside wasn't he. He did alright. He's done super in training this week. We had very little options, I thoughts Wardy might do 85 but at 80 he said he can't do anymore."
"It was a little bit scary when Junior went down having made all of the three subs, but he's the unsung hero at the minute. I've been delighted with him."
"Bruno was playing out of position and I thought he handled (Ollie) Watkins very well yesterday, Bamba nicked a lot of balls and gave us drive going forward, Mozza played the captain's role and it was Joe's first game for a long time against two really tricky players and then Etheridge made the saves."
I didn't want them to score late on and we managed to get a clean sheet which gives us a good platform to go to Barnsley.
