Thread: Lucky , lucky Cardiff?

  1. #1

    Lucky , lucky Cardiff?

    Are we taking over the “lucky, lucky” moniker from Arsenal?

    We’re undefeated and have not let in a goal from open play…but have we managed that more by luck than judgement?

    These last two games this week have been prime examples in my opinion.

    Long may it continue, by the way!

    Being pedantic, we conceded against Swindon

    I do wonder whether we are riding the crest of a lucky wave a bit at the moment

    Lucky for 10 straight games feels a bit of a stretch

    Maybe they're just a good team?

    I think that it's somewhere in between us being a good outfit with a coach who has been ideas, and the standard in this division being dog awful, it truly is poor.

    I just hope that while we’re riding this lucky wave that the players are also improving as a team. The whole squad should now be getting used to BBM’s ideas and ways of playing.
    Let’s hope we stay lucky until the end of the season.

    There was a golfer who said "the more I practice the luckier I get" so maybe we just have a coach who is better at training the team and has clearer messages as to expectations and maybe the players actually understand what is being asked of them

    We have already been unlucky with some injuries that are long term but not sure we are more or less unlucky with other sides

    And yes the standard is not great in this division based on the games I have seen so far

    I think there is a big difference in the quality of finishing. We’ve offered up quite a few good chances in recent games whereas in the Championship it would result in a goal say 75% of the time and possibly 90% of the time in the Premier league but you get away with it in league 1.

    We are a good team at this level and then you have that intimidation factor like Stockport on Saturday retreating to their own box for the last 10 minutes which afforded us that one opportunity to score.

    Liverpool score a lot of very late goals in the Premier league for that reason too

    The harder I work, the luckier I get.

    The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.
