9 home games without a clean sheet

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Over the end of last season and the start of this, 9 successive sides have breached the Cardiff City home defence. The last time we saw this was 11 successive games in 2016, with the Paul Trollope era in the middle of it. There are only 16 occasions in our history where we've conceded in 9 or more successive games. Prior to that we conceded in 10 successive home games in the first part of the 2001/02 season.

Our worst run was 17 games without a home clean sheet in 1936/37.

Aren’t Bournemouth and West Brom the next two sides to come here? Given the way we’re defending so far this season, I think there’s plenty of scope to seriously challenge for a club record in the next few weeks.

Then Reading, Boro, QPR, Huddersfield and Hull. If Sutton could manage a couple, every side will fancy their chances!

Cut some slack, Our two main central defenders have decided to offset poor defending with goals scored. Mick is ahead of the game.

I think we should kidnap MM , burn down the stadium and draw up plans for a new Cardiff City

Things really are at the end here

We are entering the gates of hell

Well with respect this early season bashing of the team and the management is embarrassing

Have a look at Nottingham Forest

Why do we have to look at the worst placed club in the league when discussing City?

We're 9th in the league having beaten the teams in 17th at home and 22nd away.
We have drawn with 14th placed Barnsley at home, 20th placed Peterborough away (and could very easily have lost this one). We've been beaten by a Bristol City team that were 17th at kick off.

The style of play has been worrying to many and we haven't beaten anybody but 22nd placed Blackpool convincingly.
I think people are right to be concerned. Still at least we're not bottom...

Cobblers, we have points on the board

People need to roll up a scooby at stop having the football equivalent of a nervous breakdown

Every bloody season the knives come out

It's like death by a 1000 cuts

We'll see how upbeat people are when we come up against the better teams in this league.

See what answer the happy clappers and everything is rosy in the garden brigade have then.

This is football . There is no divine right to success.

I think it's always best to take a rational approach to what's going on

This side is capable of promotion , most probably through the play offs

After ten games we can make sensible projections

We know it isn't pretty but it is what it is

So looking at something statistically is the "knives coming out"?

Crikey.

This side is currently 3 places outside the play offs having played 5 teams with an average placing of 17th and you think we can get promotion.

We shall see. I think many of the more sensible posters can see if we carry on in this vein then we will not be worrying the promotion spots, play offs or otherwise. Something needs to change.

But then we're not ***insert bottom club at the time*** so we should be grateful and be happy for everything the team and management does.
