TLG has pointed out that the club has never lost 8 league games on the trot before. That applies to all games - we've never, ever been beaten 8 times on the trot. Enter stage left, Neil Warnock....

Looking at another stat, we've lost 9 out of the last 10. This has only happened twice in our history.

First of all during the later stages of Graham Williams' management of us in 1982. When Len Ashurst took over and we lost in his first game in charge at Bolton, we had lost 10 of the previous 11 games. Ashurst's side then lost 1-0 at Palace and created a new club record of 11 defeats out of 12.

Enter Alan Durban. His side managed 12 defeats in 13 games in Division Four in 1985/86. Having won 3 of the opening 4 games of the season, his side would win 1 and draw 2 of the next 18 games, sending us to the bottom of Division Three. The club rallied, winning 4 and drawing 4 of the next 8 games. 12 defeats in the next 17 games in all competitions saw normal service resumed and, despite 2 wins in our last 3 games, we were relegated to the bottom division for the first time.

Never before has a Cardiff City side having lost 9 out of 10 avoided defeat in the 11th game.
