It was a bloody awful season. After a few near misses, Bellamy joins us, we're one of the favourites for automatic promotion. We have a dismal November and December. Form remained inconsistent until we won 5 from 6 in April, then blew promotion with a feeble home loss to Middlesbrough. After drawing the last game and asked why we didn't go for it against Burnley, Dave Jones said perhaps the club wanted to finish 4th to avoid Nottingham Forest in the playoffs. After a decent 0-0 in the away leg, once again we lost 3-0 at home.Originally Posted by North Cardiff Blue
I remember many suggesting that Craig Bellamy carried that side towards the end of the season and when he went off injured in the playoffs, we all abandoned hope. I think that was the season TOBW used the phrase "flat track bullies" to describe us and he wasn't wrong. Capable of hammering teams, also capable of playing some absolute shite and being well beaten. Jones had had his chances to get us up, he'd had money that season as well and could hardly complain about being sacked.
To top it all, Swansea coasted past Reading in the playoff final.
