Does last night really need a 'but'?
Can't we just celebrate a great evening, a great crowd, a great atmosphere a fantastic result again against Leeds and being top of the league?

For me yes, brilliant night/ brilliant football, atmosphere and Warnock and his team need their 12th man, they can't do it all on their own, we are All in this together and so if we want promotion, we need to really get behind them in numbers week in week out, See you Saturday :thumbright: :bluebird: :ayatollah:

Great performance and great win. One massive downside for me. We've lost a generation of young support and far too few kids in South Wales now associate themselves with supporting Cardiff City.

Luke, I really hope so, we will be quarter of the season in and Top of the Championship, with exciting football, surely 23,000 plus :thumbright: :bluebird:

Last Sat 5 teams in Championshio had over 27,000 home crowds, surely we should be one of them in future week in week out :thumbright: :bluebird:

All 3 goals were lovely to watch after the game.

1st goal great ball by Damour to Junior who laid it off sweetly to Kenny boy 1-0

2nd goal Junior with a thunder bolt no chance 2-0

3rd goal what a move between the players and tap in for Kenny boy 3-0

Over and out, onwards for Derby.

The only way of getting up those sort of figures week in week out would be to sell another 5,000 season tickets which could happen, certainly if we still up there at Xmas. They should be marketing Saturday like mad - the last chance to the City at home for a whole month.

Some very good points made on this thread, first one about us the fans 'bwing the 12th man ' couldn't agree more and last night that was evident., the other point about ' marketing like mad ' I'm in the south east of England so not up to speed with city's relationship with the media, promotions, free tickets for selected schools etc but Imo nows the time to really promote the club as much as possible.

We are the 12th man I agree :thumbright: :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Thats how I started, I received a free ticket in Marshfield Juniors of the City in 1972/73 season, players would visit us :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:

While I do agree with you, I'd be very surprised if we have more than 20,000 on Saturday. Hope I'm proved wrong.

Bryson? A concern? He rushed them all game and won the header leading to the second goal! Both Bryson and Damour were the unsung heroes of the game, put in the yards which meant Hoilett had space constantly. Bryson will be a big loss on Saturday.
