Cardiff City's New Signing Sends Bold Promotion Message
Cardiff City's new signing, Jack Moylan, has sent a bold message to the team, stating they must not settle for survival in the Championship. He believes teams with a safety-first mentality will get 'eaten alive' in the second tier.
Why it Matters for Cardiff
Moylan's comments come as Cardiff City begin life back in the Championship, with a long-term ambition to return to the Premier League. The Republic of Ireland international has made an immediate impact at his new club, scoring the winner in Cardiff's 3-2 EFL Cup victory over Swindon Town.
What Comes Next?
Cardiff City will face fellow Welsh side Wrexham in their Championship opener on Monday night. Moylan is relishing the prospect awaiting the Bluebirds this term and believes the team's style of football, combined with their profile, could also help him in his international ambitions.
A New Era for Cardiff City
Moylan has signed a four-year deal with Cardiff City and has already made a significant impact on the pitch. He believes the team's long-term ambitions should be beyond just settling at this level. "It might not be promotion this year, or next year, but it's definitely our target," he said.
The Road to Promotion
Cardiff City secured an instant return to the Championship under fellow Irishman Brian Barry-Murphy last season. Moylan admitted that he is relishing the prospect awaiting the Bluebirds this term and believes the team's style of football, combined with their profile, could also help him in his international ambitions.
Recent Form
Cardiff City are currently 12 points behind leaders Lincoln in the title race. They have scored 90 goals this season, conceding 50, with a +40 goal difference. Their recent form has been 3 wins and 2 losses, with the last 2 losses coming in their last 5 games.
League Standing
Cardiff City finished 2nd in the League One table last season, with 91 points from 46 games, and a recent form of LWWWD. They will be looking to improve on their league standing this season and make a push for promotion to the Championship.
