Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor watched Bristol Rovers vs Lincoln on Saturday.
Scouting mission ahead of the transfer window? (Joe Day didn't play)
Mick McCarthy's scouting mission
It was a rather unexpected surprise to see Cardiff City manager Mick McCarthy with his assistant Terry Connor perched 10 rows below the press box in their navy blue tracksuits.
Having drawn 1-1 against Reading on Friday night, Bluebirds manager and his assistant made the short journey across the border to potentially scout out some young and exciting talent at the Mem, as the pair were making notes throughout the contest.
Luke McCormick has impressed for Rovers during the later stages of the campaign with two valuable goals in their vital victory over Doncaster Rovers two weeks ago and as he nears the end of his loan spell at the club from Cardiff, McCarthy could be eyeing up a potential signing ahead of next season.
On the flipside, the young pairing of Anthony Scully and Callum Morton for Lincoln may have been who he was analysing, but what is for sure, is that McCarthy certainly couldn’t have made the trip just to see the Bluebirds’ loanee Joe Day sit on the Rovers bench for 90 minutes.
The Gas’ skipper is well-known to be a passionate character and from the get-go, it was clear to see what he thought of the referee’s decision-making.
