We are only in the top 6 now because other sides have been rubbish.
Apply our form up to date to the entire season, and we are projected 71 points. Over the last 5 seasons, 71 points has only been enough to get in the playoffs once, funnily enough, in the season we went up as Champions.
The facts don't lie and all is there to see. Funnily enough, when Dave Jones just missed out on playoffs the same people loving Slade were the first to criticise Jones and claim it wasn't good enough. It was a long slow winding witch hunt based on the frustration of missing out that led to Jones going in the end. Now, with Slade, this sort of form is suddenly acceptable.
The mindset of the Cardiff fan has changed to one that is willing to accept average, which is exactly what the club will be under Slade, and when you do that then you've lost everything. Absolute farce. I'd much rather Jones back. At least we'd just miss out whilst playing decent football.

The mind set of fans has to be with what we have to spend what we have on the pitch and what manager we have so how comes one minute fans are crying we ain't top playing barca yet the next want slade out.
We win today which puts us in 6th place that's the only FACT NEEDED so Jones and whoever else or stats mean f**k all

3 goals from open play and none from corners. I'm not having that.
Slade out
Sat Dec 05, 2015 5:15 pm
Instead of posting the only thing you put in to this board saddles these days why now enlighten us your dream Cardiff city, manager, owner and where should we be in the league

or maybe that's asking to much or better still unrealistic

Jones was the same level of mediocrity as Slade yet people called for his head. He also built his side whilst saving us £20m over numerous seasons, yet people called for his head. With Slade, they're lapping it up. Delusions of grandeur quite frankly. How can you applaud Slade for things you criticised Jones for? Also, not only that, but the major difference between them both was that at least Jones had us playing nice football, even if our defence was useless at times and we buckled under pressure late on in games.

Yep that's unacceptable as malky isn't in charge anymore and we sold Ramsey years ago

I suppose you also believe Leicester City are going to win the Premier League right? After all, projection and statistical analysis compiled using data from previous seasons means nothing at all? Leicester are top of the PL so they will finish there. Cardiff are in the top 6 and that is all that matters. Right, okay, got it. Incredible hypotheses Einstein.

Has to go .

I'm not even expecting us to make the playoffs barnet that's just it. I'm not a dreamer mid table I said before a ball was kicked others said bottom half before a ball was kicked yet are slade out followers on here now yet we are 6th with nothing to spend people are living on another planet these days. if we make the playoffs all good if we don't I'm not going to cry about it as as a fan inknow the club will be cost cutting more so I generally expect less

So teams have won leagues because of staststics from previous seasons? Mmmm thought teams won by scoring more points than any other team?
Sat Dec 05, 2015 5:25 pm
I don't hate Slade just his brand of football, I liked d jones football certainly more memorable than Malkys, and in some ways more successful. Slade needs to go now

No. What I'm saying is statistical analysis of data from previous seasons can often indicate how the current season is going to shape out. Nobody is saying its gospel but this acceptance of pure mediocrity needs to stop, because we are Cardiff City FC, not Rochdale. If you want mediocrity and a small town club then there is always Newport. The acceptance of mediocrity is also what is hurting Swansea right now, because no longer do they play incredible football with an almost arrogant air of self believe, but they look hurt and fragile at times under Monk. If you do not believe you are the best then you will never be the best. This is why we went up under Malky because he united everyone to believe we WERE the best and everyone believed and battled in the name of that belief until the death, even if it meant getting battered and bruised to defend a 1-0.

It's a results business is it not. Although slade wouldn't have been my choice either but that's what it is rite now, he's here to cost cut while doing as he's told after all that's how we ended up with slade is it not. Hes doing a better job than I expected to be honest I said mid table at best. Some said bottom half and relegation yet still want him gone.
I'm sure these days modern fans would love us to have a named manager playing top football and losing while being in bottom four and they wouldn't moan honest
Sat Dec 05, 2015 5:31 pm
I'm a Slade critic, not a hater,a immature and ridiculous description of Slade's detractors, let's get real,a more than welcome 3 points but we made real hard work in beating a bottom of the table team
Sat Dec 05, 2015 5:33 pm
My promotion bet is still good.. Just!

Angelis you was a Jones, malky, ole hater before slade get real for f**k sake you've never liked anything about any of our managers. Slades not my choice either but he's our manager so that's how it is. I've never known fans to turn on there own team and manager so much than our own. You would think we was bottom of the league on here
Sat Dec 05, 2015 5:34 pm
Nearly home I went for 1-2 away win. City struggled but a win is a win. 6th place that we should of been in last week.

Id have kept your money if we stay where we are it's a bonus imo. Mid table at best I said when we knew what was going on at the club with cost cutting and slade as manager but let's hope your rite

There are some on here who can't wait for Slade to fail. Crazy as it sounds but it's true.

Failure is objective to some degree based on objectives and subjective to another degree based on expectations. For those that believe this side can compete at the top then Slade is failing to meet those expectations. For others he's meeting expectations and for others he's exceeding them. Now in terms of actual objectives, well they're set by the directors of the board, and more importantly Tan, who most likely has high expectations even with the cost cutting. I think Slade will be gone in the summer, if not before that. When you have a clown at the helm then the circus act is sure to continue, which is why I want Tan gone more than Slade. Slade is merely a juggling performer in Tan's complete circus.
