This season is so so more exciting than the 2013 season

[dembethewarrior]

There was a lot more expectation that season whereas this season everything feels like a bonus.

Also, despite Colin’s team’s being very attritional with a strong defence, Malky’s team was dull to watch. Remember the 0-0 at home to Charlton that got us promoted?

This.

"Threw his bat and ball out"

[life on mars]

Neil is so much more likeable than Malky

everyone is more likable than Malky ,his decisions put us back years

Why dont people refer to Neil Warnock as Neil or Warnock. 'Colin' is something the opposition refer to him as.

I would assume he likes it when it’s said tongue in cheek by his fans.

Seems that type of character

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I don’t know if a few of you remember the bellowing chants of ‘don’t sack Mackay’

At the time I loved him. His behind the scenes auctions soured things after his departure

My feeling was that we had a foundation built on grit and being defensively strong. We had no flair or pace in that team and, crucially, didn't bring any in during the summer after promotion. This current team has far more about it in the attacking third and arguably has a stronger foundation, though we need midfielders who can keep hold of the ball. This season's tactics won't work in the top flight.

Tell that to Stoke who were more comfortable doing that rather than the stylish football they’re now trying to play.

So to finish off this seasons excitement, Cardiff 3 points clear last game of the season, Same goal difference as Fulham and reading need to win to stay up. And reading are winning 1-0, last minute pen to Cardiff, ��

Len Davies to take it, he owes us one after his miss at St Andrews cost us the League Championship in 1924. 😢😢

Agreed with Bob Wilson that we won at a canter in 2013, 20 more points than Palace who are still in the Premiership, if we’d appointed Pullis instead of Ole we would still be in Premiership and still playing in red?

Thank gawd we went for Ogs, worked out better in the long run.

Oh and it’s the Premier League not the premiership. It hasn’t been called the premiership for 11 years.

In terms of winning things, 2012/13 was our best league season ever - seems like I'm in minority of one, but I'm not going to write it off by whingeing about it being too dull and how we played in the wrong colour. We were comfortably the best team in the league that season, it's just a shame that we did not build on what was a strong foundation.

Sadly the scale of what Malky did has been submerged underneath a pile of revisionism. Warnock has done a fantastic job these last 18 months, however he did take over a mid-Championship team that was underachieving. Malky, after taking up the reigns from Dave Jones, only had SIX outfield players contracted for the following season. Within two seasons we were PL bound. No-one moaned about the football as we won the league by EIGHT POINTS with a GD of +27. Whilst the squad this season is much better than Malky's there clearly are more big spenders that we've had to contend with this time around.

The ludicrous rebrand and subsequent implosion never made it feel that I was watching Cardiff City. At least it again looks and feels like we are watching the Bluebirds this season.

Whatever happens in our last four games: well done Neil and Cardiff City.

Spot on.

Malky came in with a strict plan of what type of players he wanted to bring in. Each had their own dossier, each had to fill criteria. It was a methodical and effective approach. Let's not forget how well he did at Watford beforehand.

After a very successful first season, the board demanded promotion the following season. After a 5-4 defeat at Charlton, Malky realised that the brand of football he had employed to that point wasn't going to endear himself to the board and owner, so it became far more defensive. This was probably aided by Nicky Maynard's injury (which he never fully recovered from). We eventually ground out promotion; it certainly wasn't pretty at times. Hardly fair to blame Malky, he was under orders. The plan, which worked so well in his first season, was suddenly out of the window. It crashed all together in the Premier League because the club no longer had a plan, other than to get promotion.

Let's be honest, this method and dossier chat is all bo**ocks ain't it.
