The context of the club is that it was on an upward curve since Warnock took over 3 years ago.

Last season was obviously different considering our opposition yet we were in with a chance of staying up almost until the end.

Comparatively we have spent buckets of money since the year we went up and it's like we've thrown it down the drain on purpose in order to remain "plucky underdogs" and to "hang on to coattails"!

Good post TLG by the way. Yes I will agree with those who protest that Fulham were boring. Parker definitely got it wrong playing Harry Arter and Harrison Reed last night.

Arter is limited at best and I was struggling to see how the position he was continually taking up in like a left sided central defensive midfield area was in anyway effective!

Even it was on our left where Murphy was it would be a bit more understandable but we don't create anything there and playing Johansen and pushing him further forward would have hurt us more.

All I learned last night was Scott Parkers limitations.
I suppose to give some context to your current position. You are mid table in the Championship. I can recall days back in the 90’s when you were in the fourth division being watched by 3000 or 4000. Things could be a lot worse.
Oh and I’ve just seen my lot torn apart by a Charlton side whose fans were protesting not very long ago. Now they are second in the Championship.

Football is all about ups and downs for clubs like Cardiff, Reading and Charlton. We have our good times and bad times and are not like the Liverpool’s of this world who always expect to win. I went to our game today confident we would win but in the end we were humbled. That’s how it is and I wouldn’t change it.
