Worst home record in the entire league

[G rangetown Blue]

Bollox.
I'm sick of this kind of comment doing the rounds this season. We're a really crap side this season. Circa 18K at home compared to say 2K away deserves better. D'ya think we'd still be afloat without the season ticket holders and home fans turning up? If anything, the players have let the home fans down big time this season and should be able to deal with some groans and moans. I watched Villa today and there were plenty of those when their players gave possession away cheaply and they were deserved.
If you're going to loads of away matches you should know that your comment is rubbish about our home fans. I was at St Andrews, it was like a morgue compared to the CCS.

Really? Home games are a chore these days….and you realise that there are nowhere near 18K in there …right?

I don’t think we are “really crap” this season, after a decent start, we have had lot’s of injuries to key players, and our ‘centre forwards’ have not delivered unfortunately, hopefully that will change.
I was also at St Andrews, and even when we were 2-0 down, we may not have been loud (we were losing by 2 goals), but I personally did not hear any negativity, like you do at home games.

Also, gate money doesn’t “keep us afloat” ….it’s peanuts compared to TV revenue these days.

City are definitely really crap this season. Were it not for points deductions at Derby and Reading, the side would have been entrenched in the relegation zone for much of the campaign.

The team has posted a club record run of 8 consecutive league defeats, they haven’t kept a clean sheet in 25 games in all competitions and they’ve lost 9 of the last ten 10 home league games, failing to score in 7 of those defeats.

I’m trying to put things into perspective….we lost almost half the team through injury, including most of our midfield, which contributed (in my opinion) to the bad run. If your strikers are not scoring goals, you ain’t winning that many games, so you could possibly say Moore, Collins and Harris are “crap” because they aren’t doing their job, but some of our players get a lot of unfair criticism…..again only my opinion.

You might be interested in some more clean sheet stats.

Our previous worst run of successive home games without a clean sheet was in the 1937/38 season, when we went 17 games without a clean sheet at home. During that run we managed to win 6 and drew 4, conceding 25 goals in those games.

Our current record-breaking run is now up to 19 without a clean sheet at home, conceding 29 goals in those games, losing 11. I'm glad the Cardiff City stadium is a fortress; imagine how bad the run could be if it wasn't!

Our next target will surely be to surpass the club record of 29 successive games without a clean sheet, set in the 1933/34 season by Messrs Wilson and Watts-Jones. That impressive run saw the side ship 76 goals. Our current run of non-clean sheets has seen us concede a mere 46 goals and surely not even the most pessimistic of City fans can see us getting close to the 1933/34 tally.

The club must have been in a hell of state in those days, the effects of the depression affecting life across the board. The fact that Bartley Wilson was (most probably reluctantly) managing the club that he’d founded thirty odd years earlier speaks volumes. Dark days indeed in troubled times, for a club who’d been to two Wembley Cup Finals a short while before. Ironic, perhaps, that some are comparing today’s woes to those days with the next two Wembley Cup Finals after the 1920s fresh in our memories.
