Here are your Cardiff City headlines for Thursday, November 11.
Davies' parents 'in tears' after long road to first team
Isaak Davies' parents broke down in tears after witnessing their son produce a match-changing cameo in only his second Cardiff City appearance last weekend.
Davies was the talk of the town after he earned a corner for Kieffer Moore's first goal before producing a stunning assist for the striker's second in the 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town.
The 20-year-old's name has been on everyone's lips in recent months, but a series of setbacks have halted his progress into the first team.
But former Cardiff City and Wales centre-back Danny Gabbidon revealed just how much his brilliant substitute appearance meant to the player and his family, who were watching on at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday.
"The impact of Isaak Davies was key to the game. It's a personal one for me, because Isaak is someone I've mentored since the age of 16," Gabbidon said on BBC's EJFOF.
"It's been a long road. There have been a few ups and downs. He was supposed to make his debut on the last game of last season, but he was injured by one of his players on the day before so he wasn't able to play.
"He got an injury pre-season, which set him back, and he has been playing catch-up until this point. He has seen of young players being given opportunities ahead of him and there have been some frustrating times for him.
"I thought he was brilliant. He was exactly what Cardiff needed, someone with a bit of pace and directness, fearlessness and it was a great cameo. He came on and won the corner for the equaliser and obviously the cross for the Kieffer Moore header and the skill before it was fantastic.
"A youngster coming on and the manager expecting the manager to do something and he produced.
"I'm delighted for him and I know his dad was there at the game as well, hoping he'd be on the bench and that he might come on.
"I think his mum and dad were in tears after the game, they couldn't believe what he had done. They were so proud of him. I am absolutely delighted for him. I hope this can be a stepping stone for him."
Warnock delighted he got to thank City fans
Neil Warnock has said that the ovation he got from Cardiff fans this season has made it easier to end his time in management, if indeed it is the end of the road.
Warnock was let go by Middlesbrough last weekend and replaced by Chris Wilder almost immediately.
He didn't close the door on taking another job this season, but said that finally being able to thank the adoring Bluebirds supporters after his Boro side had beaten Cardiff a few weeks back has provided him with great comfort and closure if his time in management is over.
"What's happened on Saturday, if there were a time to finish I can't think of a better way to finish than in front of the fans at West Brom," he told talkSPORT.
"The players were amazing and the fans were. I just think that was the most moving thing I had.
"A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to go back to Cardiff. And I could say thank you, I never got to do that during the pandemic.
"Once again, they were absolutely amazing. Last Saturday and the Cardiff thing, it does make me realise how lucky I am.
"It is a great way [to bow out], if that is the end."
Morison in pole position
Cardiff City's continuing search for a manager appears to be coming to a head with an announcement expected within 48 hours.
It is coming up to nearly three weeks since Mick McCarthy was sacked as Bluebirds boss, with the club stating they would not be rushed into making any decision.
That appears to have fallen in Steve Morison's favour, with the caretaker manager having been afforded three games before the international break to stake his claim for the top job.
While Cardiff won one, drew one and lost one, the improvement in style of play and the manner in which City went about their football brought many supporters back onside after a horrific start to the campaign.
That being said, it is understood that Morison is now in pole position to land the manager's job, with the board, players and fans all having been impressed by what he and assistant coach Tom Ramasut have implemented over the last few weeks.
Swans won't face disciplinary action
Swansea City will not be sanctioned over their actions during the South Wales derby victory over Cardiff City in October.
The Bluebirds were disappointed by a number of issues after the 3-0 defeat by their arch rivals and contacted authorities to complain.
Cardiff were unhappy with the celebrations of the Swansea players, and manager Russell Martin, when they adopted the "swim away" gesture towards the home and away fans what was deemed a taunt by the visiting club.
The gesture, which is a reference to a clash between supporters following a South Wales derby in Swansea back in the 1980s, angered Cardiff due to its provocative nature.
Ex-Swansea star Jonjo Shelvey was reminded of his responsibilities back in 2013 when he did the "swim away" celebration during a derby at Cardiff City Stadium back in 2013.
Cardiff also made their disappointment known at Swansea's decision to show then manager Mick McCarthy as well as directors Ken Choo and Steve Borley on the big screen at the Swansea.com Stadium, claiming it led to the Bluebirds board members being verbally abused.
While there are rules against showing the dugout on the big screen, there is no legislation in place pertaining to showing the directors' boxes.
Cardiff had expressed their concerns to South Wales Police, Swansea and the EFL following the derby.
Cardiff to wear away kit at home
Cardiff City will wear their pink away strip for the Boxing Day clash at home against Coventry.
The Bluebirds had a formal request accepted by the English Football League to wear their away strip after an initiative to raise awareness around homelessness.
So far, the Premier League has blocked top-flight teams from doing so as rules stipulate that home kits must be worn as a priority.
It is a blow to charity Shelter, who hoped the initiative would boost the profile of their #NoHomeKit campaign on December 26.
The EFL have stated that they will accept clubs' requests to don away kits on Boxing Day if they make formal requests.
So far, only Cardiff and Portsmouth have seen requests approved.
Evans out of Wales squad
Cardiff City winger Kieron Evans has been forced to withdraw from Wales' under-21s camp.
The Bluebirds starlet has shot to prominence in recent months, having first earned his senior debut under Mick McCarthy before being handed two starts by caretaker manager Steve Morison.
It was hoped he would carry his positive form into the international break with Paul Bodin's under-21s, who face Gibraltar and Switzerland in the coming days, but that seemingly won't be the case now.
The FAW wrote on Twitter: "Fin Stevens and Kieron Evans have been forced to withdraw from the camp and have not travelled to Gibraltar. Elliot Thorpe has been called up as a replacement."
Wales under-21s take on Gibraltar on Friday before facing Switzerland next Tuesday.
