If Tan had not changed our kit and badge would it have made a difference to the players performance and if you believe so where would we have been in the league now.
Yes we all would love to have our blue back together with our proper badge not the awful one we have now but I feel we have to accept that the position we find ourselves in the league has nothing to do with the rebrand. Too many mistakes have been made with recruitment of players. What we needed was experienced players who would have got us through our first season. The business of buying "players for the future" was a nonsense and millions have been wasted, all our budget should have been used to establish us in the premier and nothing else.
So if you genuinely believe that playing in red has effected our players performances how many extra points would we have had by now?

I think the atmosphere would be different , fans are not getting behind the team as much as we should be we are more concerned with returning to our traditional colours. And it's going to be that way until we are playing in blue again I believe.

So do you believe that it has effected our players ability to compete in this league?

Exactly the players have been affected by the fans concentrating on off field matters and colours and tradition etc, i truly believe the players don't have our full support because of the re brand and this has affected performances on the pitch. Not enough passion from the fans leading to not enough passion from the players

So it is the fans fault now as they are too interested in the club's politics behind the scenes. Hull players didn't seem to be effected yesterday or do their fans back the players even though they are suffering like us with re-branding. If we had bought tried and tested players they would play to keep their places and their wages
Professional players should be able to play irrespective of the colour of the shirt.
The rebrand is wrong and has been ill thought out. In my opinion Tan did it because he can as he is used to getting his own way, but we are making excuses for our under performing team by blaming the shirt colour. They just are not good enough.

The atmosphere in the stadium stinks, and I'm not talking about poor vocal support, there's just a horrible feeling around the place. Imagine the buzz around the stadium if we were playing in our true identity.

Of course if we went back to blue it would lift the fans but we are still making excuses for players that are simply not good enough.
If we had played in blue would we have scored more goals or let a lot less in. The answer is no.
What has cost us this season is that we bought players that are not good enough for this league.

Unrest in one part of any organisation filters throughout the entire structure.In Cardiff City the unrest has been massive.It was bound to effect the atmosphere in the ground.And as a result the mindset of the players.Had we been playing in our historic colours'the atmosphere would have been a lot better.Yesterday i was still a bit confused by the away side being in blue.Tan has been the cause of all this.No one else is to blame.The buck stops with the little dictator.TAN OUT.

Teams can lift the fans as well by them having control of matches scoring goals and playing exciting football. How often has this team lifted the fans.
Would a ferrari F1 driver be unable to drive a yellow or silver car.
We are all guilty of making excuses for both of our managers for signing players that either were not ready or not capable of playing at this level, or in some cases they couldn't be bothered.
I have said that Tan is very wrong in taking our historic clour and badge away from us but this should not effect the players ability. Nobody has yet told me where they think we would be in the league now if we had played in blue all the season.

How many extra points would we have if we had played in Blue? That's not really the question is it?
Ask Vincent Tan how many LESS points we would have had in Blue. He's the one who changed us to "Lucky Red" and ruined our Club and fanbase in the process. He's the one who should be answering questions.

We cannot use the colour as an excuse for our teams performance it is the fault of two managers that have bought players that are not good enough and if we are truthful the managers were and are out of their depth.
When MM was here it was said we were a defensive outfit yet we couldn't defend and the stats prove that. Now under OGS it is said we play attacking football yet we are not scoring goals. The colour issue is effecting the fans I agree with you and it Tan were to change it back it would give us the fans a feel good factor but it will not make poor players good ones.
We have to stop all this nonsense that Malky used to wave at me and we sing more in blue.
Let's just face the fact that our team is not up for the Premier and neither was MM and OGS.
