Home hoodoo
Since Neil Harris took charge of the Bluebirds more 10 months ago, they have registered only six wins at home from 20 games .
Neil Harris City home games:
Home: P 20 W 6 D 9 L 5
They have played 20 games in that time and, for some reason, just cannot find a regular winning formula on their home patch and that appears to have continued into this season, having lost their first two fixtures at Cardiff City Stadium.
What has been notable, though, certainly in the last two matches, is that teams set up very differently when they visit the Welsh capital.
Sheffield Wednesday and Reading sat deep and made Cardiff try to play through them, with the Bluebirds just not having the quality or ingenuity to do it on either occasion.
The absence of Lee Tomlin will be a big factor in that, of course, and is no doubt the reason why Harris wants to bring another player of his ilk to the squad.
When teams visit Cardiff City Stadium it means the Bluebirds have to be smarter and more cute around the 18-yard box and that is what appears to be letting them down.
Contrast that with the away record during Harris' tenure - 11 wins in 20 attempts - and the picture is very different.
City's record away from home under Harris is impressive. Teams tend to be more attacking on their home turf and Cardiff utilise their transitions and breakaway speed in broken play to hit with devastating effect.
But at home they simply must be cleverer around the box.
If Cardiff are to use Moore to his utmost potential they must fire in more crosses to him. But, to make them more of a threat, the two wingers getting in behind the striker simply must contribute more, especially at home.
