No excuses this time Jay Bothroyd tells Cardiff fans




Cardiff fans deserve top flight

Striker Jay Bothroyd says Cardiff City will not be able to offer any excuses if they fail to win promotion to the Premier League this season.




The Bluebirds missed out in the last two seasons, but are again challenging for a Premier League place.
England cap Bothroyd says his dream is to play in the top flight for Cardiff.
"This season there's can't be any excuses - we've got all the players, all the talent and I feel we've been doing pretty well," he said.
But Bothroyd hinted he would have to consider a move to the Premier League next season even if Cardiff failed to go up.
The 28-year-old's contract runs out at the end of the season and has already been linked with a top-flight switch.
"There's obviously stuff I'd have to think about at the end of the season, but I'm not focused on that right now," said Bothroyd.
"I'm very focused on getting to the Premier League with Cardiff. I love the place - I think the fans deserve to see Premier League football and hopefully we can do that."
Bothroyd has twice seen that dream of playing in the Premier League come to nothing since arriving at Cardiff from Wolverhampton Wanderers in August 2008.

Hopefully we'll both [Cardiff and Swansea] have to go up and it will be great for Wales, so fingers crossed

In his first season, the Bluebirds missed out on reaching the play-offs by a goal after a disastrous run-in.
And last season, they were beaten 3-2 by Blackpool in the play-off final, in which Bothroyd was forced off injured early into the game, hampering their chances.
But having seen new Malaysian owners take the financial reins and finding himself playing alongside the likes of Craig Bellamy, Seyi Olofinjana and - in February - Aaron Ramsey, Bothroyd believes this should be Cardiff's season.
And he denies the club "bottled" their previous two attempts, insisting they lacked squad numbers.
He tells the BBC's Sport Wales programme: "I don't think it's bottling it. I just think sometimes we didn't have a massive squad. It's easy to make excuses and what-not.
"This season there's can't be any excuses - we've got all the players, all the talent and I feel we've been doing pretty well.
"Obviously we went through a period where we went on a losing run and that happens with every team. What matters is how you bounce back."
Bothroyd is also confident Cardiff and arch-rivals Swansea, who go into the weekend's Championship games one point above the Bluebirds in second, can win promotion.
"We're two clubs that are desperately ambitious for Premier League football and two clubs that are very equipped with Premiership players to play in that league and I don't see why not," he said.
"Hopefully we'll both have to go up and it will be great for Wales, so fingers crossed."
Bothroyd, who has yet to play in the Premier League, became the first player in Cardiff's history to win an England cap, coming on as a substitute in his country's 2-1 defeat by France in November.
"That's the place to be and I suppose if you want to play at international level, you need to be in that pool week-in, week-out," he added.


He's right too.

Well done Jay you f*cking legend in my book if you take us up

About time he started doing his talking on the pitch again then. He's doing enough of it of the pitch at the monent and then when it matters on the pitch spends more time on his arse and looks totally uninterested.

Well said Jay! Now get your scoring boots back on.

over to you then jay get your scoring boots on pal

Well said Jay! Now get your scoring boots back on.

Or borrow Chops spare pair of boots

Just stay on your feet Jay. I suppose our under soil heating dosen't help once he is on the floor he looks to snug

That article states that Bothroyd has never played in the Premier League despite the fact that he has played in the premiership for Coventry, Blackburn and Charlton.

I was rooting for J to score a couple of goals when he played for england, although if im honest a loseing england but J grabbing a couple, But iv been disappointed with his contribution since, I hope he reads his own statement a few times so that He also puts words into action.

JAY YOUR FULL OF SHIT, FULL OFF IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY YOU BOTTLER.

JAY YOUR FULL OF SHIT, FULL OFF IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY YOU BOTTLER.

That sounds harsh but having watched him today - spot on. Needs to have a good long look at himself. Did nothing today.

Having said that Bellamy needs to do the same. Bullard looked what he is, a premiership player. Bellamy didn't.

Its not harsh atall mate, he dont have the balls for big games. Im sick of listening to his twitter bullshit, if he played aswell as he moaned he'd be a decent player.

thats come back to bite him & the team in the ass!! hopefully this will be an eye opener for tuesday!!

Ok Jay, so you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?

bothroyd was total disgrace to night ,body language stinks .i think he thinks he is better than he is, falls over doesnt get free kick and then sulks like a little child he went down to nite and cost us possesion and didnt need treatment. .just before they scored he went down as usual stayed on the floor as usual complaining ,we lost the ball due to no forward outlet (where he should of been )they go up the other end and score .jonesy seems scared to take him off , the obvious change was bothroyd off and jet through the middle (best forward by far tonight) orparkin on to give some guts up front. also swaping bellamy and chopra has been proved in other games to not work. they done a job on us in the second half by swamping mcphail and stifling our mid field they changed tactics becouse of the way the game was going ,but our inept manager did nothing. only last week i posted that i thought jonesy had finally got it right tactically and substitute wise ,we were 1 nil down 10 mins left and brought on blake for quin why oh why didhe not go for it with another striker, becouse hes just not upto it i think he ,s to old and set in his ways to cut it at the top we need a young forward thinking manager to take us forward sadly to late for this season.how long do you think jonesy would last if by some miracle we were to get promoted to the premier this season ,my guess would be no more than 10 games .you can probably tell how sick and pissed off i feel right now by my comments above ,we always seem to blow good positions . on another day we would probably have scored at least a couple of goals in the first half on tonights play ,,and threr goalie was man of the match. he ho i will be there at our next game supporting my team as usual onwardas and upwards hopefully ?

JAY NEEDS TO REALISE HE HAS TO START PLAYING FOOTBALL and START GETTING STUCK IN, THE SEASONS NOT OVER.

Ok Jay, so you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?

I think it would be too obvious to answer this question!
