We had a bit of a purple patch last season , won a few games although playing dreadfully on the whole, this led to a very poor finish to the season .
Does anyone know what our exact form was for the last dozen or so games ?
I make it 15 points from our last 12 games which is not great.
we did have some injuries though in that period.
mostly though we didn't manage to get the wingbacks involved in the final third as often as our good patch, which completely nullified our attack.
3 attacking players + 2 deep midfielders is just too easy to defend against.
5 attacking players + 2 deep midfielders will cause problems.
I just hope we are bold enough to go for it.
Are you going to give Jimmy 16/1, because those are the odds?
The best prices available for City this season with the major bookmakers are as follows:
To win the Championship - 16/1
To finish in the top two - 8/1
To win promotion by any means - 11/2
To finish in the top six - 2/1
To finish in the top half - 2/5
To finish in the bottom three - 16/1
As far as I'm concerned, pre-season odds are very seldom appealing. However, it's noticeable that the bookies are a lot more optimistic about City's chances this season than many fans appear to be. To me, that says a lot more about the quality of the division this time around than it does about the current Cardiff team.
