' Sudden strength in depth '
By Paul Abbananto
This is something we couldn't have envisaged earlier in the season.
Yet on Saturday Cardiff had Rubin Colwill, Isaak Davies, Callum O'Dowda, Andy Rinomhota, Mahlon Romeo and Kion Etete on the bench - most of whom Bluebirds fans would be more than happy to see in the starting XI, let alone offering good back-up from the bench.
That's quite a bit of strength in depth, you know, and has been created as a result of the imaginative roles handed to Sawyers and Philogene and the captures of Wickham and Kaba.
Callum Robinson, perhaps Cardiff's best player, is still to come back in the mix after injury, while the likes of Mark Harris and Joel Bagan are also on the fringes if required.
That's not a bad little squad to head into the final throes of the season with, as the games start to come thick and fast again.
