That's as optimistic as I get with the current squad!
But those are two very big if's.

Honestly baffled how some talk us down like that.
We have a decent enough squad to compete for top two.
The neutrals predict us to do well and the bookies have us as second favourites.
For some reason it's just our own fans writing us off.

I believe if we don't sell another player there's not many teams in league 1 who could stop us
If Colwill can keep turning in the kind of performance we saw the other night and we attack with the pace we did I am predicting we will dish out a few hammerings
I don't think the squad is bad at all, last season we were poorly coached and I believe the players lost heart (which is no excuse and they should have put more of a shift in) but it must have been pretty demoralising being coached by a Sunday league manager who was changing things every 20 minutes

Top two...you really are optimistic.
Maybe if we make a few quality signings, but not with a squad that failed so miserably last season to finish bottom.
It's my guess that neutrals and the bookies are assuming a club the size of Cardiff will bring in the signings we need to push for promotion.
But, we are talking about the chances with the existing squad, who by last seasons performances have proved to be inadequate.

How can a club that gets relegated as bottom of the league, be considered second favourites for promotion after offloading about a dozen of its squad with no replacements.
My only agenda is to see Cardiff City back to winning ways and that won't happen wearing rose tinted glasses!
Finally, I repeat, the bookies have us second favourites expecting us to make a number of quality signings.
If the club announced that there were to be no new signings, I think you'd find the odds on promotion rapidly reducing.
