I have seen some draws which are fully deserved and postive ones like Derby, Huddersfield and Watford.. apart from them games the other draws I think are fully down to MM not really changing things or going for a goal early.

we have drawn and won a few where in all honesty we deserved to lose but that's down to grinding out teams

Helguson should never play,simple as that. The opposition know the game plan and as soon as he comes on we lose the dominance.

Nothing new under the sun, Cardiff City have always made hard work of promotion. IF we get promoted, that is. Still furious about throwing away two points on Tuesday. Four poxy seconds from time! We need to finish in some style, which we are quite capable of doing, not limp over the line, hoping that Watford lose to Posh and Millwall.

It shouldnt even have come to hoping Watford drop points in the last 5 games.

Limping over the line is understatement of the year.

To be fair we are probably 10 points better off as a result of scraping 3 points instead of 1.

Plenty of games this season where the performance didnt deserve all 3 points but we somehow managed them.

Opening night of the season v Hudds, Sheffield Wednesday at home, Birmingham and Leeds away, the point v Leicester, the point v Derby, I could go on.

Last 10 games where we have only picked up 13 out of 30 points tells me we are no longer getting the rub of the green we enjoyed previously and points are now reflecting performances.

Luckily the previous points ratios outweighed the performances and we have a healthy cushion.

I dread to think had we not built up that 11-14 point cushion in the Winter how it would have panned out.

We are fortunate thanks to that cushion we are under no real pressure going into this last month of the season but we are still making hard work of it.

Sheffield Wednesday home? :lol:

The game were they parked the bus for full 90 minutes and we dominated the game and created loads of chances?

We won 1-0 yes but that game we fully deserved.

Similair to Tuesday, dominated possesion without penetrating and their keeper hardly had a save to make.

True. Difference was Sheffield Wednesday slung 3 midfielders on the D outside the box. We should have easily put Tuesday out of sight.

why are we/malky making it hard?


how many teams have been 9 points clear at this stage of the season? from the outside looking in people would be saying the opposite.

13 points out of 30 we are not making it easy.

Throwing leads away against teams like peterborough and Barnsley we aint exactly storming to promotion.

Why are we hoping Watford drop points? there is still a 9 point gap so i dont see the need for hope ?

6 points in front of second place, 9 points in front of third place. 5 games to go. Ask yourself this question would you have taken this position before the season started? Can't be all bad can it :lol:
