Carabao Cup: Barry-Murphy's Cardiff into second round
Brian Barry-Murphy's bright start as Cardiff City manager continued after the Bluebirds beat Swindon 2-1 in the Carabao Cup. First-half goals from Cian Ashford and Rubin Colwill were enough for Cardiff to progress despite a second-half strike from Princewill Ehibhatiomhan. And it continued City's unbeaten start to the season after picking up four points in two League One fixtures under the Irish man's watch. "Really pleased, it means a lot to me to get through to the next round and to see who we could possibly take on," he said after the win. "This competition creates so many brilliant occasions but to get to those occasions you have to go through the rounds. "So to win tonight was very important for us and we treated the game really seriously and I thought there was respect in that performance so I'm happy." Republic of Ireland international Jason Knight was on the scoresheet for Bristol City as they overcame MK Dons 2-0, Yu Hirakawa getting the other goal. Ollie Palmer scored a stoppage-time brace before Wrexham completed a remarkable comeback by edging out Hull on penalties. Elliot Lee opened the scoring for Wrexham but they seemed sunk following goals from Oli McBurnie, Joel Ndala and Matt Crooks, only for Palmer to score twice at the end and send the contest to a shoot-out. After a gripping 3-3 draw, Ndala rattling the crossbar with his spot-kick proved crucial as Wrexham prevailed 5-3 in the shoot-out, sealed with Jack Marriott finding the net with his effort. Bromley provided the biggest giant-killing of the night as the Sky Bet League Two side overcame Championship Ipswich 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw over 90 minutes. Deji Elerewe gave Bromley the lead and although Ben Johnson equalised for Ipswich, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, a nervy shoot-out went in favour of the minnows. Sam Long was the hero as he saved two Ipswich penalties – leaving Marcus Ifill to convert the winning spot-kick and give Bromley their first ever win in this competition. Ben Close, Damola Ajayi, Robbie Gotts and Tom Nixon were all on the scoresheet as League One newcomers Doncaster pulled off another upset with a comprehensive 4-0 victory at Middlesbrough. Blackburn and Portsmouth were also knocked out by League One opposition, with both teams beaten at home 2-1 by Bradford and Reading respectively, while Owen Oseni's brace helped Plymouth come from two goals down to oust QPR 3-2. Mateus Fernandes' goal helped Southampton edge out Northampton 1-0, Coventry beat Luton by the same scoreline courtesy of Ellis Simms and Derby defeated West Brom 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Josh Sargent and Marcelino Nunez were on target as Norwich won 2-1 at Watford, Stoke got the better of Walsall 4-3 on penalties after a goalless draw and Millwall claimed a 1-0 victory at Newport. Miles Leaburn, Ibrahim Fullah and Luke Berry scored in Charlton 's comfortable 3-1 victory over Stevenage. Charlie Raglan's own goal gave Preston a 1-0 triumph at Barrow, Tyler Goodrham's strike was the difference in Oxford beating Colchester by the same score and Swansea beat 10-man Crawley 3-1.

Cardiff City star in talks to leave club as Barry-Murphy 'confident' on signings
Cardiff City star in talks to leave club as Barry-Murphy 'confident' on signings The Bluebirds player looks close to leaving with incomings expected to ramp up in the final weeks of the window Cardiff City head coach Brian Barry-Murphy (Image: Huw Evans Picture Agency) Jesper Daland is in talks to leave Cardiff City, head coach Brian Barry-Murphy has confirmed. The Norwegian defender joined from Cercle Brugge last year and endured a mixed first campaign in south Wales. However, he has now been left out of the last two City squads - including the 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Swindon Town on Tuesday evening - prompting supporters to question whether he is on the verge of leaving. And Barry-Murphy has confirmed that Daland is holding conversations with other clubs over a potential exit, however the Irishman said he was unsure as to whether any departure would be permanent or a loan. "Jesper's in conversations with other clubs, so he's not available," Barry-Murphy said.

I don't think it's right for me to say. "Nathan (Trott) played, Matt Turner was on the bench. Ethan and Jack trained yesterday. And Jesper trained brilliantly yesterday. Article continues below "They're here and they're very much our players. So I think it's disrespectful of me to speak about them in any other sense apart from saying I don't know." Cardiff have signed only one player so far this summer, goalkeeper Trott. With Daland in discussions to leave the club, a centre-back will likely be high on the agenda. When asked about incomings, the head coach said: "We want to be a very dynamic team who excites the supporters, so the players that we bring into the club will possess those qualities to bring the game that we want to show to life. "Even in Nathan Trott, he's a very dynamic keeper who will improve a lot as we progress. And those traits will be evident in every player where we managed to be in to the club." Barry-Murphy was coy on a timeline, however he insisted signings would be made before the September 1 deadline. "I'm confident," he said. "I think it's wrong of me to say imminent or days because I just don't know. And my experience in this month of the window says the closer I think we are to one, the further away we are! Article continues below "And I think it's unfair to supporters. We'll definitely bring players in before they're in the window, but I don't know when."

Port Vale and Cardiff draw a blank in League One
The draw took Brian Barry-Murphy's visitors top of the fledgling third tier table but last season's relegated Championship side could have returned to Wales empty-handed. Darren Moore's hosts, beaten 2-1 at Rotherham on their return to the third tier on Saturday, created a host of chances but could not beat Bluebirds' debutant goalkeeper Nathan Trott. Vale came closest when Cardiff captain Calum Chambers was indebted to Trott for preventing a headed, first half own goal. Towering defender Jesse Debrah also headed narrowly wide as the visitors rode their luck. Mitch Clark had a goal ruled out for offside in the second half, George Byers hit the bar – only for a linesman's flag to again lead to home frustration – while Ronan Curtis blasted over. Cardiff, who won their opening match at home to Peterborough, rarely threatened and Yousef Salech's 33rd-minute attempt was the closest they came.
