Best Squad in the Championship

Thu Jan 22, 2015 7:52 pm

At the start of the Season all the pundits had Cardiff City down as favourites to go up and the best squad, it now looks like we could be heading the other instead, What the hell is going on, we have a sh$t manager, nearly half of our players have gone or soon will be, if something doesn't happen soon we are going to be in some serious trouble, in my opinion we now worse than when we got promoted to the Championship !!!!!

I never thought for one second that we had the best squad in the championship.

It's hard to judge how good it was because after a slow start under ole we had slade who refused to play half of them and shipped most the quality out ASAP.

Said from day 1 we had the biggest squad in the championship. How anyone thought we had the best is hard to believe, we were only ever going to be a mid table side, and with the loss of a lot of our better players, I think we will end up somewhere around 15th at the end of the season.

We have a great squad it's just not happening

Daehli Guerra Cala would walk into all championship teams

Even burgstaller looked a great player not to mention fabio being left out

And selling a leader in Hudson was a huge mistake

ItI wasn't only the pundits who said we had the best squad. Loads of our daft supporters thought so as well. But they are probably denying it now.

Don't believe your own hype. You do it all the time.

We were easily in the top 3 when it came to best squads. Piece by piece its been dismantled. Quality is going and cheap replacements coming in. The club is going backwards rapidly.

Not now, but the squad we did have at the start of the season we should have been somewhere near the top.

i actually think we still have a gd squad just not got the person to apply the correct tactics or philosophy to get the best out the team,i mean what dickhead thinks its a gd idea to play noone at the tip of the diamond ?? you cant tell me marshall,fabio,manga,turner,brayford,gunnarson,adeyemi,noone,kim,harris,ravell/jones as a starting 11 aint one the best in the league and when you think we had daehli and guerra and cala,and still have ralls,malone,lefondre(for now) burgstaller our squad was class,our problem was ole didnt understand how fit players needed to be in the championship and now slade only knows hoofball and is selling the talented players cos he doesnt know how to deploy them correctly,give that team to most decent managers and theyd get them winning games more often than not in my opinion
