' Shocking Really ' Why We have failed to make the Top 6

Cardiff have won just three of their eleven games against sides in the bottom six, a record that compares poorly to their rivals., thats the reason why we have failed to get ourselves in the top 6.

They defend against us and not having good strikers we struggle to beat them and they exploit us on the break when we commit forward.

That's factually incorrect Annis.

We haven't failed to make the top six yet, we still have a chance. We are good enough to beat Bolton and Birmingham. We are then relying on us to beat Sheffield Wednesday, Wolves to get a draw against them and Derby to beat them.

Say what has cost us when it's mathematically impossible, but not yet.

Ok Ned

But up to now, it is shocking that we have miserable failed against the poor opposition in the Championship and so far it has cost us,true or not?

True, but Ryan we've gone through a hell of a lot of strikers in the last 20 months have we not?

Spot on Allan, thats been happening all season.

can see it going to last game but we will lose out on goal difference, which to me will be criminal because of out last 6 games dropping lost points to mid table teams that top 6 havnt done.

Slade is the reason we are not in the top 6 or higher, 3 strikers out on loan and 2 brought in who don't get a sniff. Poor signings overall apart from Immers, Tactical knowledge of a house brick to boot. You also have to look at the players motivation at times. Craig Noone for example has gone from tearing Man city a new one to looking like a Sunday conference player at best

This summer will be huge, there are a lot of players returning from loan and the squad will need to be trimmed again and If it's left to Slade then i fear we will struggle again next year.

Tan's insistance on having a yes man at the helm is going to cost us in the long run.

Annis, we can judge that at the end of the season. If we make the top six, which is still possible, then it won't really matter. If not, we can talk about where we went wrong then.

Middlesbrough lost to teams like Charlton but do you think they'll moan about that if they win the league. We lost to Peterbrough at home the season we went up but didn't see anyone here moanong about those sorts of result, which there were a few of, at the end of that season.

It's different losing games when promotion is guaranteed compared to when you are in a desperate battle to at least get a shot at going up.

Yes we have and its frustrating its been a revolving door either they have been signed not played and get contract terminated or get sent out on loan I expect that this trend is coming to an end.

Spot on concerning Slades tactical knowledge, players motivation and Craig Noone.
With Slade next season I think we'll tick along but it won't be very exciting to watch etc.
