This season has been frustrating, especially as it's obvious there's not a lot of football know-how within the club, but pretty much 20 out of the 24 Championship sides can have aspirations of reaching the play offs, so I'd concur. What's a sad indictment of the Club since 1962 however is that we've had just 2 seasons in the top flight out of 58 - a poor return for a City of Cardiff's status.
