  1. Re: One step forward, two steps back Cardiff finish their home season with another defeat.

    Totally agree with your last paragraph. However, I think we could have had Ollie Watkins up front and he'd struggle to score, simply because of the lack of attacking talent elsewhere, lack of...
  2. Re: One step forward, two steps back Cardiff finish their home season with another defeat.

    I've read it all, now. 5 draws is an incredibly low number of draws over the course of a season. The reason that figure is so low is because of the number of games we've turned around and won that...
  3. Re: Tan gives green light to Bulut contract talks

    I don't believe he will be offered a war chest. There is FFP, you know.

    Re: If Bulut Stays-Can He Succeed?

    How does he propose signing those regardless of ffp?
  5. Re: One step forward, two steps back Cardiff finish their home season with another defeat.

    Sorry, but there's absolutely no evidence of that, whatsoever. We are 12th in terms of goals scored from number of shots taken.

    If your suggestion that a lack of goals has cost us a shot at the...

    Re: What's that coming over the Hill

    One interesting point in that article is that we're still under the jurisdiction of the FAW. I thought all Welsh clubs were now under the jurisdiction of the FA instead? Is it me or was that...

    Re: If Bulut Stays-Can He Succeed?

    I forgot to reply directly to this bit, but there are a load of stats that would bear that out, many that don't compare favourably to last season's struggles. The only 2 stats that I can find that...

    Re: If Bulut Stays-Can He Succeed?

    Thankfully we pinched enough wins to avoid that happening. Equally there were some thinking we could make the playoffs. That was even more nonsensical (or wildly optimisitic).

    We should be...

    Re: If Bulut Stays-Can He Succeed?

    Who is to say we wouldn't have a relegation battle if Bulut stays? Like others, I feel top half has been a false position for us and, statistically at least, virtually all stats point to a season of...

    Re: Joel Colwill

    It's fine. It's all part of the plan to tighten up defensively and concede less.

    Re: Erol Bulut

    I'm sure lots are taking notice of the number of heavy defeats we've had and our poor defensive record, despite being a defensive team, as well.

    Re: Comfortably Mid Table

    I also think that it's not easy to shift out some high wage earners, stopping you being able to bring in some players you'd like. There'll be some dead wood in a relegated side that you've either got...

    Re: Erol Bulut

    I'm sure he did. However, we have to comply with FFP, something we'll have to consider again this summer, so don't expect any war chest for whoever is our manager.

    Re: Goal difference, my barometer

    I would agree with that to a point, though sometimes a few freak results will cause that as well.

    In terms of a 46-game season, 1609 teams have finished top half with a positive goal difference;...

    Dave Jones:

  21. Re: One step forward, two steps back Cardiff finish their home season with another defeat.

    I think it would be incredible to maintain our threat from set pieces. At one point in the season our scoring rate was ridiculous from them, unsustainably so, but that has levelled off somewhat as...
  22. Re: A Question For Eric The Statto

    Not sure about chances created, but we're ranked 17th for goals scored, but 21st for number of attempts and 22nd for xG. Whether anyone is that bothered about xG is another matter, but the evidence...
  23. Re: One step forward, two steps back Cardiff finish their home season with another defeat.

    Without a doubt. We haven't had an unlucky defeat in ages while quite a few of our wins have been on the fortunate side. I hadn't noticed that we'd conceded 8 more at home than last season - another...

    A few points about this - I think it's time for everyone to stop talking about missing Ramsey and O'Dowda. O'Dowda, in particular, has become Messi during this injury hit season, when the reality is...
