SuperKev ready to start the season for Cardiff City

Cardiff City's defence have lacked pace, cover and composure a feww too many times this season and a significant reason for that has been the absence of Kevin McNuaghton who tore ankle ligaments in a pre-season home friendly against Celtic.


Today, he played 45 minutes against Hereford United reserves and although City lost 2-0, McNaughton was in fine form and withdrawn after 45 minutes to save himself for Saturday's trip to Barnsley.

There's a strong probability he will start that game but will it be right or left back? Mark Kennedy has looked jaded and vulnerable recently but a fortnight's break should have recharged his batteries but Kev is destined to play on the left this season. On the right side, Adam Matthews has stamped his mark but he may be rested from time to time and considering he is in Bosnia tomorrow playing for Wales Under 21's, Dave Jones may decide to rest him after getting back.

Either way, Cardiff City followers will be delighted to see SuperKev back in the blue colours at last.
