Here's your round-up of all the latest Cardiff City news for Sunday, November 6.
Derby linked with Nelson
Derby County are reportedly weighing up a move for Cardiff City defender Curtis Nelson.
According to the Sun, the Rams are keen on a January move for the 29-year-old, who's largely struggled to nail down a regular place in Cardiff's starting line-up this season.
Nelson has made seven appearances in the Championship so far, starting just three of those.
The report claims Nelson "could be interested" in making the move to Pride Park, particularly given it would bring the Staffordshire native closer to home.
Derby, meanwhile, are currently having to play left-back Craig Forsyth in the centre of their defence due to injuries to Curtis Davies and James Chester.
Speaking about the January window this week, Derby boss Paul Warne said: "At the moment, you have a blank piece of paper and have all the players who are available and affordable and because of our situation,” he said. “It makes it a bit more difficult.
“I think we need at least three signings. If we don't get three then I think we've had a poor window."
Hudson hails Harris
Mark Hudson has hailed the impact of goalscorer Mark Harris, after the Wales forward's goal helped Cardiff return to winning ways.
Harris struck just after half-time, having missed an earlier opportunity in the first half, and Hudson says he was delighted by the work-rate and determination shown by the Wales international.
Speaking after the win on Wearside, he said: "I said to Sparky at half-time: 'Don't worry about the one you missed, it'll happen. Keep going, keep believing, and you'll get your moment', and he did.
"I'm really delighted for him, and for all of the players. They've put in so much hard work, and they showed a real fight and togetherness at the end there, where you've got to put your body on the line, and they did that.
"Testament to the ones who have not played; we spoke about it this morning and last night. Everyone wants to be on the pitch, but you have to be ready, because you have to come on and make an impact.
"It's going to take everyone throughout the season, and it shows that the subs are really willing and ready to come on - they know their jobs."
Harris backs Hudson for top job
Meanwhile, Mark Harris himself admits he's hoping interim boss Mark Hudson will be handed the reins at Cardiff City on a full-time basis.
Hudson oversaw a ninth game since the departure of predecessor Steve Morison on Saturday, as the Bluebirds picked up an impressive 1-0 win over Sunderland, with Harris netting the decisive goal.
The former Cardiff skipper revealed in his post-match press conference that he is set for talks with Vincent Tan over his long-term future at the club, having previously stated he was hopeful of the club being able to offer 'clarity' on what the future holds.
And Harris is in no doubt that the current caretaker boss is the right man to lead the club forward.
"Yeah I think so," he said when asked if he'd like to see Hudson stay on board. "He's been brilliant with me. He's been brilliant with all the lads so hopefully, if results like this continue, I'm sure he will be.
"I think that [clarity] will probably come soon. But we all see him as the gaffer at the minute and hopefully that continues."

Young Bluebirds slip to cup defeat
Cardiff City's under-18s slipped to a narrow 1-0 defeat to Shrewsbury Town in the PDL Cup on Saturday afternoon.
Vlad Paternoster's second-half strike proved the difference during a physical contest at Leckwith.
The hosts had goalkeeper Luke Armstrong to thank before the break, after he pulled off two fine saves to deny the Shrews from close range, while Dylan Lawlor came closest to netting at the other end after his header flew just wide.
And the deciding goal arrived 25 minutes from time, as Paternoster tucked home following a scramble inside the City box.
