Russell Slade: 'No surprise over Cardiff City form'

Russell Slade claims that he is not surprised by the start he has made to his reign at Cardiff City.

Russell Slade has insisted that he has not been surprised by Cardiff City's form since his arrival at the club.

Cardiff made it two wins from two under Slade with a 3-1 victory over Ipswich Town on Tuesday, but the Bluebirds boss is refusing to get too excited about the promising start.

"I'm not surprised at the start I have had, I am not surpassing any expectations I had," Slade told reporters. "I never expect to lose a game, but that's just my mentality.

"I am a football man, I've done 650 games or more as a manager and I know what it's all about.

"It is just two games but it gives us a bit of momentum and the belief in the players is growing."

Cardiff are currently 10th in the Championship.
