VERY, VERY WORRIED.

Sat Sep 05, 2026 8:15 pm

Last season we got away with out scoring most teams and it worked, we are now trying to do the same in a league where unless you can defend you'll get punished, we can't defend, we never look like keeping a clean sheet and it's costing us big time.

There are too many in this squad who are not championship level but have to play due to the size of the squad. Twice now in five games BBM has put two keepers on the bench obviously making a point to the three lunitics running the club but if we don't bring players in (out of contract)

i fear we'll be cut adrift come Nanuary. Only at Cardiff can the good feel factor be destroyed after five games.

Yeah it's not looking good at the moment, what do they do on the training ground when it comes to basic defending?? we are conceading some awful goals and then when we push forward we getting hit on the break, as i said, it's very worrying.

Paul,

4 months we had to recruit and BBM said he needed to.

Even named the positions he needed.

The majority of our squad are League 1 players and the standard in the Championship is way way higher.

I believe we will end up Bottom 5 with this current squad.

The fans will disappear fast and CCS will once again become dead.

I am very worried

The manager had all summer to sign players. The club have failed from top to bottom to build upon last season's feel good factor. The players who secured promotion from a very poor League 1 are once again finding out how tough the Championship is.

Unfortunately the Championship is probably even stronger that when we were relegated in 24/25 and we have a lot of the same players. Have they improved? We shall see - and nothing less than 3 points v Stoke City is needed.

This is what pisses me off about the club. They never capitalise on the feel good factor around the club. Instead they beat us down with their inability to run a football club properly. It’s no wonder we can’t muster more than 20k at home in most games. People are just fed up of it. If we did get Bale and his consortium buying the club and investing into the club you’ll draw the crowds back in. Tan and co need to go ASAP.

Totally agree Annis, whether it's Tan, Dalman, Choo or BBM to blame for the transfer shambles this sh*t of putting 2 keepers on the bench has to stop, it's childish and not helping the team. The championship is getting better in quality every season due to the amount of money being spent (apart from us) and we are now carrying too many players who are not championship level, Ashford, Tanner, Davies not good enough, Willock to slow, Robinson can't do 90 minutes and a defence that's incapable of keeping a clean sheet. Like you i'm very concerned.

We have 1 striker who looks like will start most games - Down to just 2 fit CB at the time of this post -
Lost count how many midfielders we can choose from - the squad at this time is not balanced .
