That was a good article - and fair.
There's a few back-handed compliments in that article.
Didn’t take to the “clogging” quote 😡😡Quote:

I heard one commentator say that he felt a number of our players were "growing into" the premier league and as every week goes by the players were looking comfortable in this league.I've certainly noticed we are not as naive as we used to be however the latest general media opinion is we'll start struggling soon because were running out of winnable home games.
Quite a good article.Quote:

And has Josh Murphy really been a revelation? Not sure about that.
I agree, you can take it as being insulting if you're that way inclined, but I prefer to see it as an acknowledgment that there is more to us than you might first think.Quote:

Pretty decent article I think , and backed up with facts/stats. Not as anti Cardiff as the TV pundits, who clearly have no idea about us and just make up stuff.
I have though and seen that myself in the games ,I suspect if we could replay those two games against Huddersfield and Newcastle we would have more points by now ,lets be fair we ran the Gunners close and Spurs and Everton ,should have beaten Burnley ,some pits at Watford /Palace will top my Xmas off nicely .Quote:

What I am amused by is the possession stat.
It is wrong.
Our actual possession is 37%. Quite a bit lower. 😂

Fair play - that was a well balanced article.
A big worry for most which he eluded too was how many home games we have left against the sides in and around us. Unless we drastically improve away from home, it could be a painful second half of the season.
Surprised to read that Etheridge isn't a good shot stopper though
