' CARDIFF CITY ARE YET TO JOIN THE PARTY '
Sat Nov 22, 2014 9:21 am
Welsh football is currently enjoying a boom period of success.
Chris Coleman’s national side are second in their Euro 2016 qualifying table, while down west Swansea City are also making pundits sit up and take notice of early-season form that has seen them beat Manchester United and Arsenal.
The team yet to come to the party is Cardiff City.

Every manager needs time to put his stamp on his squad - he will want his own type of player to complement the football he wants his team to play.
But has Slade really got time on his side?

As we are well aware, results have not been what we have expected and I read on the messageboard Thursday evening that in the past 10 years, on average, teams must have amassed 34 points after 23 games to achieve a play-off position, let alone automatic promotion.
That means City must earn 12 points before they face Watford at Cardiff City Stadium on 28 December to get to the 34-point mark at the halfway point of the season.

Can they do it? Only time will tell but, as I have already said, time is something that is not on our side.

Whilst the club is run down with so many negative happenings - it's going to take a battle to get back up in the mix -have the current squad got the belly - will players leave January and leave more gaps - will new fresh faces be the answer will the crowd ever back the team for 90mins - instead of booing them it's your team for fooks sake you would not boo your kids playing poorly - Tony pulis should of been the Man - blue should of been the colour and VT should of broke the bank for TP -------------- one last thing VT get over MAlky and move on - put all your money and energy into rebranding back to blue same colour as your national team - be a man and apologise to the fans for dividing us - it's our culture football and it's been nothing more than a second hand circus - keep the faith BlueBIrds !

The national team have always been up and down. There is a good chance now that they might reach a further level on the upper of things.
Same can be said for Swansea and it is looking like they could be on that upper level for a while.
As for Cardiff well they should be on that upper level. However since the 1960s the leadership at the club has been well down there. The latest leader look like the level reached in the 60s where going to be achieved but the guy simple has blown it. I have a feeling to join the party we need someone else to take us. Even if this present guy takes us there the last thing it will feel like is a good time with him about.

3 points off play offs guess it's all over for this season? Because that's basically what's being said here!

A string of wins will put you right up there and it could happen but will it? We need goals.... I think our defence is sound, we need a bit more of a brutal midfield general and if kenwyn and mason can start to bang them in then we could get there by default a bit like qpr have. It doesn't really matter though does it, if last season is anything to go by who gives a shit? Another season in the sun is it.....
