Panic Buttons On The Trapdoor

Last updated : 23 February 2014 By Tott Dixon - Seaham

Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has cancelled his players' warm-weather training trip to Abu Dhabi following the 4-0 defeat at home to Hull on Saturday.

The Norwegian had been planning to take the relegation-threatened Bluebirds out to the United Arab Emirates on Sunday to sharpen up ahead of their trip to fifth-placed Tottenham at White Hart Lane in a week's time.

But after watching his charges thrashed by the Tigers, suffering their biggest home defeat since losing 4-0 to Cambridge United in April 2000, Solskjaer confirmed he had changed his mind in favour of some intensive preparation in wintry Wales.
