Blake's Heaven
Last updated : 14 October 2010 By Michael Morris
Blake will miss the Cardiff v Bristol City match this weekend with a one game suspension but he hopes to be in contention for the trip to Coventry next Tuesday.
"Hopefully I can be chucked straight back in for Coventry after Saturday because I want to kick on with Cardiff," he said.
But Blake's big achievement this week was winning his first cap for his country. He played 54 mins of Wales' 4 - 1 defeat in Swizerland under caretaker manager Brian Flynn.
Darcy knows Flynn well, as he explains
"It was great to win my first cap and brilliant to be named in that starting line-up - especially because it was under Brian," he said.
"I've been in the Under-17s, Under-19s and Under-21s with Brian, so to get my first cap under him is fantastic and I'm so pleased it happened like that. I just hope now I can have more caps underneath him and he can carry on with the job."
A year ago Blake was on his way out of the club, he was sent on loan to Plymouth and would have signed for them but for an embargo on the Devon club. He came back to Cardiff and has made an impact on the first team and is now an integral part of the first team squad. He's started seven of City's ten League games this season.
