Cardiff secure bragging rights & Wilkinson's Wales woes

Cardiff City certainly delivered a statement win over Wrexham in the EFL Cup, giving further evidence of the progress made under manager Brian Barry-Murphy this season. There were plenty of polished performances, but maybe none more so than Rubin Colwill. But will his display - witnessed in person by Craig Bellamy - be enough to force him into the Wales manager's plans for next month's World Cup qualifiers?

Rhian Wilkinson has also been left with plenty of food for thought after two friendly defeats to Australia and Poland extended Wales' poor run to seven consecutive defeats, and no wins in their last 11 games.

And Sam prepares for a return to Newport in the FA Cup with Gillingham.
