So did Jack Simpson, and I hope so did Rubin Colwill.” “Philogene’s injury is not serious but he is not with us tonight and we miss him terribly. He was with us at the stadium and came to support us. I hope he will be available on Saturday.” Rude made a ‘big difference’ Former striker-turned-scientist Clinton Morrison hailed both Sory Kaba and Lamouchi for their influence over the past few months. Kaba scored seventh goal of the season spectacularly, one overall in his 3-1 win at Watford, while Lamouchi saw side climb relatively high to 19th place at the table. Speaking on ITV’s EFL highlights, former Crystal Palace and Birmingham City man Morrison said “Credit must be given to Lamouchi, I think he’s done an outstanding job since he got in there. “If you had said a month and a half ago that they were going to Watford and beat them so convincingly, they would have bitten your hands. “The way they’re playing right now is great and Kaba has made a big difference. This is his seventh goal in 13 games. That’s a goal that should win any football game. The way he tackled and finished the game is great.” Blakey Manager carousel has to stop Bluebirds legend Nathan Blake believes the club needs to support a manager and stop the manager carousel if they want to build a solid foundation and continue into next season. Lamouchi’s tenure has not been perfect, but it is hoped he will get Cardiff to safety. He is the third man to be cracked in the Cardiff bunker this season and every one has seen it as a struggle. But Blake believes the lack of continuity and singular plan will continue to undermine Cardiff unless they trust a manager to execute a long-term strategy. “Lamouchi has done a good job, but I keep saying he has changed managers, I don’t know how they hope to achieve results or success. The only team I know that has changed more managers and Success is in Chelsea! And it has taken the shape of a pear. “You have to look at players, they are responsible for the results to manager. But if there is confusion upstairs, it tends to slide into the team and that distrust has been shown for a very long time.” “But I have to say, things have turned upside down with Lamouchi, but results came at the right time to get out of swamp when they were needed most. But two positive results will cross the line in next two games.” Earnie Cardiff too big to relegate to Premier League Former Cardiff striker Robert Earnshaw has branded the Bluebirds’ situation “emergency” and believes the club is too big to relegate to League One. Lamouchi has appealed to players’ demeanor after their loose performance in their home loss to Sunderland last week, and Earnshaw believes it’s the right thing for him as he led a comeback at Sheffield United despite result. Wednesday night Watford. “It was great management,” Earnshaw said. “When they lost points against Sunderland and that performance wasn’t the right attitude for his team. It’s an emergency for Cardiff City, where they will be staying in the Championship in the next few weeks. “If performance, challenge, determination, spirit and quality aren’t there and it goes down, that’s not good enough for you to play for Cardiff City. It really is a state of emergency. Because Cardiff City are too big to go. They’re down a league. They need to at least stay in the Championship. ” As fans begged him to come back next season, Sory Kaba raised questions about Cardiff City’s future.
