All the ingredients were there for us to start badly

Look at Fulham. Zero from two.

Protracted transfers out. We had a tough away game first up, an away game in the cup then a Huddersfield who had changed their manager.

It's to the managers and players credit the start we have made. Spent well, defensively solid, strength in depth everywhere. Excellent work all.

Agreed very tough start, a tough few weeks to come too, but great start :ayatollah:

I wouldn't get too confident yet, without Kenwyne, Cardiff could be sitting on a solitary point (however unlikely)

The midfield doesn't look right to me though, yet. Very easily ran over. I didn't see Huddersfield match, but I have a feeling the midfield needs further drilling to cope with better and brighter teams in this league. Even Dæhli hasn't had a great start to the season. (Not bad either)

The defense, ironically what everyone's been worrying about, has been sharp.

I think when you see Ademeyi you may change your opinion. Once we changed shape after 15-20 mins on Saturday the midfield looked good, particularly when you consider we still have Dikachoi, Pilkington and Noone (spelling !?) to come in.

I was slightly concerned a bit by the idea of Ole going for players he knew but who themselves didn't know the championship.
However getting players like Le Fondre,Digkachoi,Morrison and Pilky I must say I have no concerns.
I genuinely believe we will rip the league a new one. :ayatollah:

Mate you can say that about any team. Kenwyne scoring now could have been other players just as easily.
