Barry-Murphy urges calm after winless Cardiff start
Brian Barry-Murphy insists Cardiff should not be too downbeat about their unfavourable league position after a winless start to the Championship campaign.
Cardiff City coach Brian Barry-Murphy has urged fans and players to stay calm following the team's winless start to the Championship season. Cardiff find themselves in the relegation zone after a 2-0 loss to Portsmouth on Saturday, leaving them with only three points from five games. Despite the poor run of results, Barry-Murphy remains confident in his squad and insists that they still have a long way to go this season.
He acknowledges the challenging schedule they face, with Stoke City arriving for a crucial Tuesday evening match following their 4-0 victory over Charlton. Barry-Murphy emphasizes that the team needs to remain composed and improve their consistency, especially as they play with a young group of players. The coach also acknowledges the frustration of fans over the limited squad additions and the absence of several injured players, including captain Calum Chambers, who is doubtful for the upcoming match.
Nevertheless, Barry-Murphy remains confident that his players will find the necessary strength to secure a win against Stoke and guide Cardiff back on track.
