Sat Jun 14, 2025 2:41 pm

This is what wrexham found out plus been welsh the English teams will be playing out of there skins ,
so for those that think it's going to be a walk in the park think again,
we may have a big following big stadium but it's on the pitch where it counts
I hope the new manager understands that we are a target for next season.

Simply not true.

Wrexham may have been a team that other teams wanted to beat but that’s because of the Disney FC celebrity stuff that goes along with them.

In our half empty stadium we will not be other teams cup final.

We aren’t Leeds or Sunderland or Villa or other big teams that have been in league one.

We are what we are. We aren’t anyone’s cup final apart from the Jacks maybe.

Totally agree with that.

I'd also say that L1 teams last season would have wanted to beat Birmingham more than Wrexham.

But just like the Jacks are obsessed with us, our fans are sadly starting to get obsessed with Disney FC.

Good post and I agree.

We’re not even a big club really.

I never said we are a big club but a lot of teams in this division will look at us,as a bigger club than Luton or am I loosing the plot
Yes Birmingham were the club to beat but do where wrexham, and I stand by what I said English clubs will rise to the occasion when playing us imo obviously I am in the minority but we shall see.

I can’t see it, stadium with no atmosphere a team in free fall for years disgruntled fans. There’s a few other team around our size in the league. We certainly no Norwich Ipswich, leeds Sunderland etc when they were down there.

Agree monty only our fans think we are a small medium club in div 1? If other fans dont take mick out of us when we lose I would be amazed...

Re: CARDIFF WILL BE EVERY TEAMS CUP FINAL

Sat Jun 14, 2025 7:04 pm

I think we will be a big scalp in div 1 just as Birmingham were seen as a big scalp last season.

Re: CARDIFF WILL BE EVERY TEAMS CUP FINAL

Sat Jun 14, 2025 7:50 pm

Regardless of what other teams are in the division we are the ones with a bigger budget than most and we do have better players in our squad. If Charlton Athletic were the 3rd best in the league last season I don't think we have big problems.

Re: CARDIFF WILL BE EVERY TEAMS CUP FINAL

Sat Jun 14, 2025 8:48 pm

Not sure that’s the case anymore..we are a basket case of a club with an idiot owner only 15,000 fans and an average team

One of the bigger clubs but we won’t be everyone’s cup final

We were growing as a club until Tan started fking about with us, now we will be like a dwarf amongst midgets in league one.

Yep. Those court cases where we about to be dissolved.

Tan took us to the premier league twice.

Our top transfer fees paid and received have been under Tan. Every metric we are bigger since Tan took us over. Doesn’t mean he hasn’t messed things up massively mind.

He has done a fantastic job in taking us to League one fairplay to the guy. Only people that like Tan are Jack bastards he’s a hero in there eyes.

Yet we obsessed with them being obsessed with us?
Unfortunately if we draw them or Wrexham or any championship club and above it will be our cup final.

Sad to say but that’s the position we are in now.

We are equally as obsessed. When we were on a run and they were doing badly saw a lot on here. We have crowed about their American owners and the shit show that is.

People in glass houses and all that.

Just 46 games at a higher level.

I truly believe we will get momentum from going down and will double bounce into the prem.

We have forgotten how to win and dominate games.

I wish it was Des who took us over as I genuinely believe he would have been brilliant for Cardiff. But this new lad has a similar pedigree and outlook and it’s 100% what we need.

Whether we have the patience is another thing.

Absolutely spot on, I relayed these exact words to a very frustrated Sunderland fan totally immersed in entitlement 7/8 years ago and spelt it out to him about ‘cup finals’ and the absolute need to win all the battles to eventually win the war ! If City don’t have that attitude and mentality then we will struggle!!!! So cmon city sleeves up no backward steps up and at em and KEEP AT EM :bluebird: :ayatollah: :bluescarf:

You're in cuckoo land if you honestly think we will double bounce back.

We're going to have an average season under this manager. I'm not expecting promotion. Let's remember his one and only managerial stint in the real world was getting relegated with Rochdale. I've read he's bringing in the same coach or assistant he had with Rochdale too, which doesn't fill me with confidence.

What we will see is the manager trying out some things which will work and other things which won't work. He will be trying out things he could successfully do with the best youngsters at Man City, but this won't always work with our players. I also think there will be games our new manager will be outmaneuvered tactically, because of his lack of experience.

I've read comments saying this manager will need centre backs who can also play out from the back. This is dreamland, we're in League 1 now, any good centre back who can play with the ball will not be in League 1!

What we needed after last season, was for us to build a squad who are more physically fit, mobile, powerful, pacey and above all, nastier to play against.

I fear there will be games our manager will try to get us play to his playing style, but there will be teams who will be able to easily stop us playing, especially on poorer pitches in awful, Winter conditions.

Will our manager be able to adjust? Will he bring in the correct characters to battle or will he assemble a team who are decent technically, but are too soft like last season, getting physically dominated, losing the key one on one duals, lacking in the other important areas?

We're going to have a very up and down season and I will be shocked if we bounce straight back. I just hope our new manager learns quickly along the way, so we can continually improve and over the next few seasons, hopefully he can put something special together.

Managing us is completely different to managing Man City's academy. I'm sure he realises this after his time with Rochdale and I hope he's ready to prove me wrong.

Did the 22 English Championship teams play out of their skins against us and Swansea last season because we’re Welsh?

Wrexham were a scalp because of the media hype and bragging rights, not because they were Welsh

Why will we be seen as any different to Reading, Bolton or Huddersfield? All ex PL teams, all in big stadiums, all with “big” (10k+ crowds)?
