Ralls: “We want that winning feeling again!”

Cardiff City midfielder Joe Ralls spoke with the assembled press and media at the Vale Resort on Thursday morning.

It has been a tough week so far for the Bluebirds – but the team has two big opportunities to gain points in the coming days.

“We’ve spoken as a group and we’re looking to address our performances,” Joe began. There is a huge desire in the squad to do that.

“We’ve got two big games coming up now (Preston North End & QPR) and hopefully we can gain some points from them and get ourselves into an even better position.

“We’ve been on an amazing run at home. That may have ended against Fulham but we want to do that again.

“As we all know, there are no easy games in this league. There are a lot of strong squads in this division – but I think we’re one of them.”

City’s first defeat of the 2017/18 season came against Preston in September – and Joe spoke about that match, Friday's opponents and the squad intentions.

“We didn’t turn up on the night. It was our worst performance of the season. We definitely owe a better performance than that.

“It’s going to be another difficult game. Preston are always a tough side. We’re looking to give the fans an improved performance. We’ve got to go out there, show a lot of desire, and get the three points.

“We want that winning feeling again.”
