Without a doubt, started watching the city with bennett bros hemmerman .Never been so excited about a squad,strengh in all positions,might not gell straight away,every player we,ve released we,ve brought in better and not prima donas like the premiership signings by Dave Jones.Hope i don,t end up eating humble pie just the buzz i,m feeling :ayatollah:

im into the history of cardiff and read loads .... and the teams between the years of 1924-1928 are the best city teams ever ... if ever there was a time id like to go back, watching city in those days would be in my top 3, just behind watching the beatles in hamburg and the pistols in 76!

Deffo seems to be a squad with more good quality in depth. (and cost to assemble obviously)

The big difference though would be bringing the word "team" into the equation.
No squad has ever been promoted unless they are a good/great team.
Hope this squad can live up to that. :ayatollah:

I think that when this team clicks (could be at least 5-10 games yet) then I think we're really going to cause teams problems. We have pace all through the midfield and upfront, we now have options to be flexible and to change games, we have a genuine goal scorer in Maynard.

As I say, it could take a few games but when we do click I think it'll be superb. I also see us picking up more points away because our team is perfect for VERY quick counter attacks

In recent times may be a very good squad however we had a very good squad in the Toshack times, 68-71 when we just missed out on promotion to the top division. :ayatollah:
