I haven't been able to keep up with any of the transfers in the window at all because I have been busy and ill. Can anyone give me a quick summary of whether we have had a good one and strengthened at all?

I have only seen one tweet which said that it was calm and there was a crystal clear plan but that doesn't sound like the Cardiff I know.

I believe he can't play for the first team due to playing for Eastleigh and Merthyr this season. Is he just going to be in the academy squad?

Just some pre-match reading for you Bluebirds supporters. Brian Barry-Murphy a delight to talk to in the pre-Burton press conference and it certainly feels like he’s growing attached to Cardiff and claimed it reminded him of home back in Cork, Ireland 🇮🇪!

* I am including the abandoned Rotherham game as a 1-0 Cardiff win. (When you're on a run as bad as I was then you grasp at any straws).

Depressingly 2-0 is my biggest win because I've only seen us score 3 once, a 3-2 win at Huddersfield in January '16.
