Well done to MM and the lads last night just need to get some consistency now.

It was worth the trip last night just to see the team and Malky come over to the fans at the end of the game.
It wasn't just a going through the motions approach, but a real togetherness and that's on of the massive improvements Malky has brought to the club.

It really does feel like a team effort with the fans for once a big part of the team, great support last night and some real funny chants and comments, loved the "is there a fire alarm chant" when half the stadium walked out and "the more fans than you, Cardiff city got more fans than you"

I am enjoying this season more than any over the last few years. :old:

This is not a criticism of Malky as I think he’s doing an excellent job, but Dave Jones at this point last season had us in 2nd place on 32 points. Currently we are 5th on 24 points.

Maybe I come to expect that it would be a game too far for a same 11ish to get anything near to a scoreline what we are seeing right now.


Or we may have beat Leeds 4 nil albeit with a better side. I normally love your posts but this one is a bit strange. Seems like having a pop at DJ for no reason.

I agree entirely, however I’d be surprised if Malky manages to equal or better any of Jones finishes in our past 3 seasons.

The grateful and sensible among us can see what he did for this club.

No doubt some idiot who cannot see the big picture will respond "he took us over in the championship and left us in the championship" :roll:

League was far weaker last season, with the league this season being very very strong.

Our wage bill and resources were extraordinarily high, with little camparatively in return

And of course, the fact that November used to be Arctic-like in its harvest of points

The championship has always been a tough division. Its not weaker one year to the next. In recent time its only Newcastle 2 years ago that resembled a side way too good to be in this division.

Yep. Southampton aside the sides coming into the division are no stronger than the ones leaving it.
