This is all part of the master plan from Warnock. Some weeks ago we were joint favourites to go up, had a strong squad and were looking to add significant investments to it. This however never settles well with our Neil, he likes to be the underdog, backs against the wall mentality. So instead we sell our best players, buy a rag tag group of players from the lower leagues and suddenly there are no expectations. Now we've gone from top 6 or even top 2 predictions to finishing lower mid table. He will trot out the line we can't compete with the big spenders of this league such as Fulham, Derby. Leeds etc, we're only poor little Cardiff City but we'll keep fighting the odds.

While I'm being a little facetious, I do think there's an element of truth in this approach!
