The defence isnt that bad. We got to the play-offs last season.
It needs to be tightened up, agreed. But STRUGGLE?????

The rest of this division are looking towards Cardiff and swallowing
hard, we are going to be a formidable outfit. Malky will get another
defender in. We will not struggle. We will soar!!!

Could we possibly have any more negative supporters?

Surely we should enter the "negative supporters of the year" awards


Sorry - I don't see it as negative. Just looking at the facts. There is no doubt that we will be a formidable outfit but the evidence suggests that it is going to take time and we will have to be patient - look at Reading last year, they were bottom half until January. Kim and Etien don't speak much, if any, English and we can't expect too much from them straight away. Malky has to find a sysytem that allows these fantastic signings to be able to play and that may not be straight forward either. The way I see it is that is the point Tonteg was making rather than suggesting we weren't good enough.


So you agree we're going to struggle til January?


I wouldn't be surprised if we did, but it doesn't mean I'll be on anyone's back. I just think its going to take more time to gel this squad - more so than last year as there was pretty much only one player for every position and they had no choice but to hit the ground running. This time, we have more quality and they are going to need to get to know how each others style of play.
