I don't think this thread was intended to be about Cardiff City - it was about football in general. However, you can advocate a return to route one football as much as you like but it won't make any difference. This team, even with a couple of sturdy additions, wouldn't be remotely capable of playing route one tactics. Thankfully, City just don't have the players for it.

As plenty of others have said, what this side is crying out for is a couple of players who can be a bit more decisive in the final third. It's no more complicated than that. Such players wouldn't suddenly make the team into some sort of a force at this level, not by any means. Let's face it, this a below-average squad by Championship standards. However, I think they would probably be enough to keep the club up if the rest of the side gained a bit more confidence in and around the box due to the presence of the right kind of additions.
