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!Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
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
...jump you ****er jump
Into this f**king blanket, and you will be alright.
Idiot.
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
So looking at something statistically is the "knives coming out"?
Crikey.
a statistician will tell you if you sleep with your feet in a fridge and head in an oven on average you'll feel comfortable.
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.
At least the ‘happy clappers’ will be able to comfort themselves by knowing that they are not in the soothsaying, doom and gloom, camp with people like you.
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
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.
I don't think that challenging for promotion is the biggest issue for City fans at the moment. I think most of us accept we're in a bit of a transition period where we're trying to be as good as we can given our circumstances.
The problem is that this transition period isn't looking forward at all. It's still playing archaic football in the hope it might give us a playoff place.
It's slightly premature to talk about where teams are placed in the table when so few games have been played and the transfer window hasn't yet closed.
Or, at least, if you've made your mind up already then it's a hell of a long season left for you.
"The problem is that this transition period isn't looking forward at all." Are we still trying to make that argument? It might not be looking forward enough or as quickly as we'd like but blatantly more forward looking than under Slade or Warnock.
More because we have to than by choice! It's where we are.
Some film of that 1936 Cardiff side https://youtu.be/7huzG9qe1Ng
It's not surprising they conceded so many in those roll neck chunky knit jumpers.
A drop of rain and they would have been 5 stone heavier.
That film cracked me up. The poor guys, especially the way Pathe presented them. What about the goalie's gloves, they looked like they'd been knitted by his mum. Would you have wanted to go near that leather ball on a rainy Ninian Park pitch? I know I wouldn't.
Yep as you always look at the negative statistics
Here is a positive one for you
We have 8 points and are 9th
The only thing that needs to change is we need to win a couple of games
Then the bleating will stop
