Remember the talk during the summer of 2018 about us bringing in players who would be strong Championship performers if we got relegated, do we still believe the signings of Smithies, Cunningham, Decordova-Reid and Murphy were part of some master plan? Well, with two of them out on loan, one of them playing like he either doesn't want to be here or is going through a crisis of confidence and the other one only playing because our first choice in the position got injured, it's hard to see how it could have been - somehow, it all feels typically Cardiff City.
