possibly the real reason why we are struggling?

Mon Feb 17, 2014 2:56 pm

The manager debate has been done to death, the backroom struggles have been done to death... But this hasn't been talked about in any real depth, how many of the 25 man squad are actually in your opinion CURRENTLY good enough for the division we are in?

I count 5 with a few potentials.. But currently my 5 are
Marshall
Caulks
Medel
Mutch (when he is fit!)
Noone

Possibles...Dalieh, Eikrem and Cala (but difficult to judge on one game).

At most that makes 8, not even enough class to put out a full team.

That is what is concerning me the most.

Time to dig in and get your hands dirty lads, if you can't compete on a technical level at least give 100% each week, leave nothing out on the pitch and show some fight.

You never know we may, just may shock a few.

Campbell I'd say is good enough, just given no support all season. Caulker all be it our best CB has no stood out as a captain, he clears balls but he clears them to space or the opposition he's got basically no vision.

Mutch is good but has he had an injury free season in three years?

Basically to stay up Cardiff need to create form that they haven't had all season. So they need a spark from somewhere. Where from is another mystery.

Agree with you, and even the five you mention (with the exception of Marshall) are not likely to set this league alight, and would not be anywhere near good enough to get into any of the top sides on a regular basis.

I think probably a similar number to us. That is the reason that they are fighting to stay in this league as well, although I personally think they will end up in the bottom 3. Ledley is a good signing for them in my opinion, and can probably hold is own in the lower half of this division.
