Given the obvious lack of quality in the division this time around, City's record against the sides who finished in the top ten is genuinely alarming.
The home record reads:
P 10, W 1, D 2, L 7, GF 7, GA 14, Pts 5
While the away record was:
P 10, W 2, D 2, L 6, GF 5, GA 15, Pts 8
So, the Bluebirds picked up just 13 points from those 20 matches while failing to score in four of the home games and seven of the away games. Statement of the obvious perhaps, but the manager has an enormous job on his hands next season.
