Cardiff City and goalkeepers just haven't got along in 2009. Both Peter Enckleman and Tom Heaton suffered long term injuiries, Dimi the Disaster blew his chance on loan, Schmeicel wasn't allowed to come back on loan while Man City remain in the UEFA Cup so Aston Villa's Stuart Taylor has been doing the job on an emergency loan with no back up on the bench but he has yet to be on a winning side and have kept a clean sheet with 7 conceded in 4 games and a feeling he could have done better with a couple of those.
Taylor's loan ends next Monday after City play Burnley but news emerges that Peter Enckleman's minor op in January has not worked and he is being re-referred with the possibility of needing a bone graft that wold finish his season and also make him miss the start of next term.
Tom Heaton is now available agains and was on the bench against Swansea but it is believed City would not contemplate using Dimi again and they can't afford to only have one goalkeeper for the end of season and possible play-offs. Cardiff will await the specialist's news but they expect to approach Villa to keep Taylor until the season ends.
