" WHAT A CHEEK / THEY NEED TO LOOK AT THEMSELVES "

WHAT A CHEEK BY THE ECHO AND ITS REPORTERS TO TRY AND JUST BLAME OUR FANS / THEY NEED TO HAVE A LOOK AT THEMSELVES ON HOW THEY HAVE BEEN ANTI SLADE AND THE TEAM ALL THIS SEASON UNTIL NOW.
THEY SHOULD BE ENCOURAGING FANS AND CLUB TO UNITE AND EVERYONE TO GET BEHIND SLADE & THE TEAM.
It's not that long ago they were all for the Red,never once did they stick by diehard Blue fans and only changed at the last minute,same old bollocks.
They need to be asking South Wales to get behind Ruseell Slade and the team
Yet below our diehard fans who attend are blamed
Russell Slade and The Cardiff City Team
By Steve Tucker
Sunday 13th March 2016
The metamorphosis of Slade himself from hapless, bumbling lame duck to some sort of fans’ favourite. The Cardiff manager again doffed his cap as the stands rang with his name after the final whistle against Ipswich Town, a sight really, after all the vitriol poured on him, to have one almost rubbing one’s eyes in disbelief.
Slade seems to have gone from useless PE teacher more suited to Scarborough to reliable, safe pair of hands, able to slash budgets and remain a play-off push all at the same time. It is totally remarkable.
The Cardiff City Stadium itself seems a place sort of re-born too. Earlier this campaign, in terms of atmosphere, your local cemetery perhaps seemed a better option to find a bit of life, but, first the Leeds game, then this sees at least some kind of excitement emerge from the previously listless natives.
There has been a lot of rubbish said about how the Cardiff players themselves were finally showing some passion for the blue jersey on the pitch. But for me this Bluebirds’ side has never really lacked that commitment. These are professional guys if nothing else, looking to further their careers and catch the eye. To suggest they are uninterested in the outcome is just daft.
If anything, it has been the Cardiff crowd that has lacked passion this term, home supporters in particular frozen in coma of boredom and recrimination.
The exchange of passion and encouragement between a football team and its support is a two way thing of course, a symbiotic relationship. On that front it is interesting to note that, as the atmosphere at the matches has improved, so the fight in the Cardiff players has apparently become more marked also.

It this seems to add up to a remarkable change of fortunes for Cardiff that surely could not have come at a better point of the season apart from at the start of course. There’s change in the air at the capital club, now the big question is, can Slade and his men make that final transformation, the one from play-off wannabes to the real deal itself?

Spot on Annis, they've been so against Slade for a long time and now we're doing well they're blaming us. The articles I read from them every day sometimes defy belief.

I must be having a Bobby Ewing shower moment....
I have just walked out the shower and everybody loves Russ, the last sixteen months must have been a dream.
The Echo's only issue is it is always two weeks behind what has actually happened. There is a belief at the club that hasn't been seen for two seasons.

No we haven't been behind Slade,but Nor has the Echo,in fact they've been Anti Slade beyond sometimes,yet if you read this article it blames totally us.
For the last few weeks I've asked reporters in the Echo to get behind the manager and team and help unite us all, they were not interested.
They've continued to snipe at Slade at every opportunity in my opinion,yet try and blame solely the diehard fans who actually attend matches.
How about the Echo calling on the South Wales People to turn up and back Slade and the team, they've deservedly won us over in my opinion

The media can't stand any positivity coming out of the club they thrive on the negative points we might not fill CCS but its great the club and supporters are pulling in the right direction I really believe we are giving the players a lift to give that little bit extra on the pitch we are all in this together and long may it continue Barmy Army

Something that Tucker and to that matter, Media Wales do not understand is earning respect via performance and results.
That's what RS has done with us fans. Earned our respect via performance and results under what we now know were very difficult circumstances.
If you've ever had any business dealings with Media Wales you'll know exactly what I mean when I say they are a small-balled parochial outfit that employ small-balled parochial clowns like Tucker. His editor signs off on this tripe by the way.
They've never got behind our club or our fans.
The last bag-of-shite that Tucker write about us was just prior to VT's debt-to-equity conversion that was a pathetic attempt at scaremongering that we could be going into administration if the Samston debt was not settled. That got people rattled. More eyeballs on the site and more papers sold from their dwindling audience. He then had to write another piece with his tail between his his manky legs to explain why he had written it, it was that shit.
How he gets paid for writing this guff I will never know. Amen to that.

We can blame the echo, but the majority of fans who attend the games, me included don't support Slade.

My view is Tucker has not said anything which is untrue, however he has omitted some important facts.
Last season the football was dire as post OGS as our number one objective was to avoid relegation to League 1 and that meant defensive long ball football which resulted in the legendary Nukes photo
.
Along with the cost cutting and no pre-season investment in the playing squad the outlook for this season was poor, which was reflected in the abysmal season ticket sales.
The beginning of the season was a repeat of last years football and the entertainment value of the games killed the atmosphere. Slowly that was turned around and almost by stealth we put together a 13 match unbeaten run at home and moved within touching distance of the play-offs. In almost a reverse of the Dave Jones years we started slowly and are finishing (fingers crossed) strongly.
We have also developed a 'Cardiff style' with our unique front pairing of Anthony Pilkington and Lex Immers.
When you factor in the fantastic news about being debt free by 2021 it is not surprising that the future seems much brighter and that is reflected in the improved atmosphere at CCS
