For me it was when we lost against Ipswich and Drew with Barnsley at Home, add that to the arrival of Bywater and that is where it all went pete tong.
2 others that stand out was the total shambles at Ashton Gate and the failure to see off Millwall at the Den back in March.
Also the fact that Jones brought in Parkin and never played him and JLloyd Samuel, when the team needed strengthening, he failed badly.
Last night in the starting 11 were 4 Loan players and 2 players that are out of contract in the summer.
He made 3 substitutions, 2 of which are off, one back to Wigan, and one to Celtic on a free transfer.
That means that out of 14 players used, 8 of them were unlikely to still be Cardiff players the following year.
Can you imagine any other club using 14 players in a play off game, 6 of which are going back to their clubs and 2 who are likely to leave on free transfers!
It just didnt have the same feeling to them. I dont believe for one second that you can go up when more than 50% of your squad aint staying around, theres no way they had the same desire as Reading.
