I've asked this time and time again and not one of you can answer me.

If we are THAT shit, if Slade is THAT bad of a manager, and if we have NO chance of making the play offs, why the hell are we only 2 points off?

Because this season it is a shit League, I just hope with Watt in the team it gives us a spark and a decent partership with KJ, then maybe just maybe you will be right, i hope you are but at the moment just can't see it happening and even if we do make the Play offs well i can't see us doing well, but you never know miricles do happen :ayatollah:

All I'm saying is if it keeps going the way it's going we will be there or thereabouts, fans are making it out to be a lot worse than it actually is. :thumbup:

A couple of months ago we were hoping for one of six possible positions. We are being cut adrift of five of those potential positions, so in effect we have one place to fight for -6th. Lengthens our odds, and we need a good run because the chances are one of the other sides fighting to get into or stay in 6th place will string a few results together.

We'll see what happens. If we finish 6th we've had a successful season in my eyes. :thumbright:

We really should be in the playoff places or even the top two, if were not for Slades lack of tactics, I mean to say when, Burnley went 4-5-1 instead of their 442 formation, why did we not do the same to combat their 5 man midfield. As I said Slade has no idea how to change tactics to nulify other teams. He is absolutely clueless, the number of points dropped due to ineptitude is staggering. This league is rubbish at the moment, and we should be a lot higher up in it than we currently are :thumbup: :sladeout:

This is the exactly what I'm talking about when it comes to Cardiff fans. Why do we have a divine right to be in the top 2? Our last few seasons before Slade and Ole has ruined our general expectations and fans will no longer settle for less when shit hits the fan like it has.

Slade has turned things around, the fact we're doing better than last season should speak for itself. If we're there or thereabouts come January I'll still support Slade, no reason to be sacked as of yet in my eyes.

Jon i think you missed my point of course we have no devine right to be up the top, what i am saying is slades has no tactics and if there was a half decent manager then we would be near the top. I am disappointed because there are games we would have won or not lost with the right manager

I think we will finish the season roughly where we are now, maybe one or two places higher but possibly a couple of places lower. I don't believe we have the players to get us in the top six whoever the manager is. However, I believe that the Championship is not that great this season, and two or three quality signings could turn us from also rans into genuine promotion contenders.

Skybet have city at 40/1 for promotion, I must confess and say I am very tempted!

That's a good price, we're generally around 20-25/1 mark. Worth a tenner of anyone's money.

The Championship thus year is all about confidence. We've got a great chance to get, possibly 7 points from our next three games. If we can do that then it will lift spirits and who knows.

If the Championship were based on individual skill we'd be nowhere near, but its not. How many so called 'ordinary' teams are inor around the play offs this year?
