You’d have been spot on if they hadn’t have sold Josh Murphy.

We all do it. I answered an Elton John quiz question the other day by giving a Rod Stewart answer.

They didn't sell him, did they? I thought his contract at Oxford expired and he turned down the new one that they offered.

Re: Ciaron Brown

Mark Harris has scored 16 times in 44 League games for Oxford. I know most of them came at a lower level, but, if you compare it with the 9 he got in 87 for us, the difference is striking and I think it’s reasonable to conclude that Oxford fans are seeing a side to him that Cardiff fans didn’t. As I’ve mentioned already, there’s one pretty obvious difference between the two sets of figures, but I maintain that it’s much harder to be a goal scoring striker at Cardiff than it is at many other clubs because of the way we’ve tended to leave them isolated down the years.

We would be rightly encouraged if we were after a striker who scored better than 1 in 3 games
The way Bulut sets up leaves a lot to be desired, he basically has a free hit today, now would be a good time to show that we are capable of playing attractive attacking football, the question really, is Bulut able to do it?

Mark Harris has proved he’s a pretty decent goalscorer.

As has Grant, Glaztel and even Meite.

The problem is clearly with the team. We need a revolution before we all die of boredom, but it’s not coming any time soon.

If you take Kieffer Moore out of the equation, 2017/18 was the last time a City player managed 10 league goals in a season.

Funny how they all improve when they leave CCS, the graveyard of strikers.

Usually at a lower level though. Time will tell if it continues in the Championship.

Re: Ciaron Brown

We really are the problem aren't we?

I'm inclined to agree. Many of our "rejects" seem to do better elsewhere.

Re: Ciaron Brown

Can't wait for Oxford to play Derby. Both sides have loads of ex-City. Almost worth organising a coach trip.

because most of them go down a level, a fact which is mostly brushed over as only slightly relevant when people are waxing lyrical about how well they're doing now
