Defender Will Fish made his first appearance of the season in Tuesday evening's 5-1 demolition of Watford.
Fish came on in the first half following injury to Dylan Lawlor, and put in an impressive showing upon his return.
"You never expect to come on that early in a game, especially in my position, but I think it was a nice one to come into," Will began. "Before I came on the boys were playing nice football and I think we carried that on and the scoreline showed that.
"It's never nice to get injured, especially as we were coming in for pre-season. In effect, I've not had a pre-season so I'm playing catch up at the minute.
"I definitely feel like I've got a long way to go. It was nice to get out there tonight and get some minutes in the legs.
"I feel like I'm in a good place now and I'm ready to help the team."
The Bluebirds are unbeaten at home in the league this season at Cardiff City Stadium. Will continued: "Our home record is really good. I think we blow teams away at times.
"Tonight, we got the end product right and that meant we scored five goals.
"It gives us something to build on and if we can take that into our away performances I think we'll be in a really good place."
