Trying to be even handed about this, I would argue that Warnock’s “plucky little Cardiff” line was partly responsible for a disastrous first three months of the season (admittedly we did have several very testing fixtures during this time). Then we had a spell of about five months where we won enough matches to almost claw back the gap with Brighton and you can’t just say that Warnock played no part in that improvement, but we then got that Fulham game all wrong and we lost what was a winnable home game against a Palace team with nothing to play for and so all of that good work was undone.
I think that's why it's remembered the way it is.

We didn't even have any heartbreak. Not like we had tight or exciting games v fulham or Palace. Had they been nail biting games with late goals etc it may have been seen as heartbreak or disappointment. Instead it wasn't. Just non events of games where it felt we were done and didn't turn up. Strange.
