ARE WE THE LUCKIEST SIDE EVER TO WIN FOUR GAMES ON THE TROT?

Tue Jan 01, 2013 5:07 pm

The answer is no.

We are not playing the best, we are not on top form but we are grinding
out WINS, against our main rivals.

For the moaners and groaners...

We are not Barcelona.

We do not have the squads of Bolton, Blackburn, Wolves, Leicester or Brighton.

But we are far superior in terms of effort, commitment, grit, determination, team spirit.

We also have the killer touch in front of goal when its needed, we must have, seeing as
we have scored more goals than any of the above.

Enjoy the ride lads. Its only going to get better. We are still 'lacking' slightly in one or two
positions... That will be rectified forthwith.

The BLUES are going up :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

QPR are the perfect example. they were snatching last minute winners AND equalisers
and really pissing me off.

We are WINNING near enough every game.

Loves it!!

Re: ARE WE THE LUCKIEST SIDE EVER TO WIN FOUR GAMES ON THE T

Tue Jan 01, 2013 5:33 pm

I completely agree.

We know we are capable of playing a great deal better but as we are not I am more than happy to settle for winning!

As for today, I've been at St Andrews and seen us pasted more than a few times over the years so really I don't care how the win came, a win is a win and three points off the bluenoses is a sweet way to start the year.

When we freshen-up the squad we will start to play a little better I'm sure... as long as the wins keep coming.

That season QPR had 49 points after 26 games whilst we have 56pts which shows what a fantastic job MM and the players are doing.

Only 6 wins from a place in the playoffs after 26 games is unbelieveable which is why I believe we are now playing for the Championship.

Lots of points to play for yet but only 2 teams in the last 10 years have had more points at this stage and both those were the eventual champions.

The Bluebirds are going up. Believe it.

Who knows?
We only care about Cardiff City, in the past if we've been chasing, you don't really take much notice of other teams other than form and points behind etc
Whether it's 7-1 or 1-0 it's 3 points, we certainly have a team of battlers who knows the value of 3 points. 4 wins out of 4, all by 1 goal is magnificent, Malky and the team can do no wrong by me at the moment.
9 points clear of third, I really am pinching myself, sides are starting to fear us and we will get better! :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Winning ugly is what champions regularly do

The Liverpool and Juventus wonderful sides of the 80's were famed for it. How many times have United won by the odd goal in Fergies tenure?

We're becoming a part of an elite group

Well said workrate second to none in this league. Ok the football on times is not to everyone's taste but no one can complain about the workrate of the team.

Your argument has merit my dear Taffy,but i do hope your not suggesting that the only way for our club to succeed,is to play ugly football week after week after week,other than the Blackburn game,where Malky must have been elsewhere, and someone else was in charge that night,when was the last time you saw City win with panash and style?

I'd love us to play with flair and panache every week. Of course I would

But I have maintained from day one that the key to promotion in this division
is a solid defence. We now have 2 well drilled, well organised banks of 4 in
front of the opposition. When we break, we break fast and incisively, but the
Centre-Half in Malky will not let him throw caution to the wind. Teams DO
play a more attractive attacking style than us, but they dont always win. We
invariably do.
