You appear to know as little about goal keepers as you do about centre halves. For a bloke who sets himself up as a bit of a footie expert on here, you don't half make yourself look silly with some of your ‘analysis’.

C’mon now, the man is facing a terrible dilemma, the side that just avoided relegation last season were world class in his eyes. How he’d describe this side and the players now they’re 7th would make him look daft(er):hehe:

Indeed, history suggests it would be unwise to be getting carried away after eight games.
Guess who was 7th in the table after eight games last season?

Re: We are going to finish 23rd
They could be right. Don’t get carried away with this result just yet. 3 wins from the top of the table, 3 defeats from the bottom three. Simple as that. Long way to go , a lot of games to be played, with or without Ramsey. Let’s see what happens. The Championship has never been an easy League. This season won’t be any different.

The past 8 days must have hurt you

Re: We are going to finish 23rd
Feel at this stage it’s a matter of collecting points to retain a half way position and let’s see where it goes from there. Very encouraging though.

Absolutely. It's been fun this far. No expectations whatsoever, so whatever the side does beyond avoiding the drop, will be fantastic.

He just can't bring himself to say anything positive can he :hehe:
Yes, it will very likely go tits up for us very soon.
We have just had three league wins in a week, two against pretty good sides and one against our arch rivals, but our good fortune will no doubt be be over in a whipstitch.
How dare people get a little bit carried away with it all!

Yeah if it wasn’t so obvious it would be amusing :hehe:
You’d think this thread was everyone lining up to say we’re going up as champions

Ah, Reading had only played 7 games in the BBC table I looked at, which was after City's 8th game. So they were doing better than I thought after 8 games.

Barely a Cardiff related post since before the 3 wins in 8 days then back to have a snipe at people daring to modestly enjoy it by posting some (wrong) irrelevant facts about who was 7th last season.

Re: We are going to finish 23rd
I think carried away would be suggesting promotion challenges.
We avoided the drop because of a sides points deduction cant buy any players and just won 3 on the bounce.
I dont think we will be in a relegation battle after initially going into the season where id have taken a place above the drop zone.
Its an encouraging start to a much needed rebuild. Its helped that 3 players who were with us last season are having such a poitive impact. Collins , Tanner and Alnwick.

That start saw us playing some of the best football I've seen from us. Who knows what happened after that, but we won 35 points from the last 34 matches to finish in the bottom half. Some say it was injury to Scimeca, but he did start 35 league games.
It was just as well we started the season as we did. For 34 games our form was relegation form.

Re: We are going to finish 23rd
What is good about this improvement, we have had three of our best players injured or rested, Ramsey, O'Dowda, and Bowler, we have a far better squad and very good options now outside the first eleven.
Although Ramsey played really well at Swansea, I'm surprised we've found a way of playing without him so quickly.
A Stiker in January we could be a very useful team this season!

Re: We are going to finish 23rd
Irrespective of whether we will finish mid table or higher, most would agree we have enough about us to finish above 23rd surely? A couple of key injuries aside, we've got a good side and, it appears, a good manager. The last three games weren't flukes.

At the moment O'Dowda and Bowler wouldn't get back in. Who would have thought that?

Crazy but true, they'll have to work really hard to get back in!
Bowler and O'Dowda first 50 minutes, Grant and Tanner when they are knackered and maybe booked, or the other way around!
