Cardiff have never been this bad under Warnock before. It’s no one thing either, it’s everything. Still early days, but my god, what the **** just happened?! Some people laughed when I pondered if Cardiff might go through an identity crisis, but here we are. Who/what are they?
That was the sort of performance that makes you want to stay off Twitter for a week. Remain calm people, count to 10 before typing. I will say this though; if you think Tomlin is the solution, you’re barking up the wrong tree with the wrong dog
In a nutshell; Cardiff look nothing like a Neil Warnock side at the moment. There’s no fight or intensity, no shape or evident gameplan. They look like a side that needs Neil Warnock to ride in and save them. I’m a Warnock loyalist though and I back him all the way
Also, I think we all now know just how good Bruno Manga is
I think that sums it up nicely. What I would say is that the Jacks spent all summer putting in a backroom structure and are still only competing in this division based on the academy pathway, started under Potter last year, and two signings they're still hoping leave before transfer window shuts; we, on the other hand, saw the replacement for Gunnarsson (who effectively left before last season ended) signed almost after the window had shut. It's going to take time to build an off-the-field structure and if we can do that this year, get the training ground sorted and still finish in the top 10 then I would say it's been a successful year and the stability of an extra year of Warnock has worked. Finishing in the top 10 currently seems not inevitable mind.
