What a difference a week makes. WE KNOW THAT! Last Monday, following Cardiff’s 1-1 draw with Leeds United, the Bluebirds were being described by some of the fans on the club’s message boards as dull, useless, boring, rubbish and predictable.WE KNOW THAT! Those accusations were being levelled at the players just twenty four hours after they had gained a hard-earned point at the home of a side that could have gone third in the Championship had they won the game.WE KNOW THAT!

Unsurprisingly, the individuals who claimed Malky Mackay’s team lacks quality and is boring to watch in the wake of that draw at Elland Road have been keeping quiet following the fabulous 3-0 win at Derby on Wednesday evening and the admirable 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.WE KNOW THAT! Nevertheless, suggestions from supporters that the current side is less entertaining than those of recent seasons have been fairly frequent since the new campaign began. WE KNOW THAT TOO!

I’ve been in attendance at every Championship match the Bluebirds have played in 2011/12 with the exception of the opening-day victory at West Ham and the draw at Leeds.MOST DON'T KNOW THAT BUT NO-ONE GIVE A FLYING ONE! Fortunately, both of those games were screened live on television,WE KNOW THAT! so in effect I’ve seen every minute of all sixteen league matches this season. Personally, I don’t think the team’s performances have been anywhere near as dull as some fans would have you believe. On the contrary, I am of the opinion that the present side is a good deal less predictable and more entertaining than the teams City have fielded in recent years, WE KNOW THAT! and I think the statistics go some way towards backing up my feelings.

So far this season, the Bluebirds have scored 29 Championship goals.Feckk me, WE KNOW THAT! That’s exactly the same number as Dave Jones’ side netted during the first 16 games of last season,WE FECKING KNOW THAT! which is quite surprising when you consider that Malky Mackay doesn’t have the likes of Craig Bellamy,WE KNOW THAT Jay Bothroyd WE KNOW THAT and Michael Chopra WELL BLOW ME, WE ALSO KNOW THAT! at his disposal. However, what the new manager does have is a group of talented and versatile midfielders who are capable of opening up defences and scoring goals on a regular basis. Indeed, six of the squad’s midfielders have already netted 14 league goals between them this season.WE KNOW THAT!! At the same stage in 2010/11, nine goals had come from midfield.WE KNOW THAT!!

On the subject of goals, it should be noted that only runaway leaders Southampton (37) and comeback kings Peterborough (32) have scored more often than Cardiff this term. That statistic gives a clear indication of how well City have been doing in attack by comparison to most of their Championship rivals in what is obviously a very competitive division. IT'S ALL IN THE STATS,WE KNOW THAT!!

The BBC’s match statistics reveal the Bluebirds have averaged 13 goal attempts per game during the current league campaign, with an average of eight of those efforts on target.WE SHOULD KNOW THAT, IT'S ON THE INTERNET! The side has managed 15 or more goal attempts in five of its 16 Championship matches (the victories over Bristol and Barnsley, the defeat at Peterborough, and the draws at Portsmouth and Blackpool). The highest number of attempts in a game came at Blackpool in September, where Mackay’s men recorded no less than 25 efforts on goal during what must have been the most one-sided draw I’ve ever witnessed.SHUCKS, WE KNOW THIS IF WE WANT TO READ THE INTERNET!!

Under Dave Jones’ steady but stolid management, Cardiff’s line-ups and tactics became very predictable. WE KNOW THAT!Provided his key players were fit and available for selection, the surly Scouser invariably employed a 4-4-2 formation and his sides effectively picked themselves. WE KNOW THAT TOO! There is no doubt that Jones brought some excellent players to the club during his six-year tenure and his teams produced some fine football on occasions, but in recent seasons the success of the side relied very heavily on the form and fitness of striker Jay Bothroyd. WKT!(WE KNOW THAT) Despite the abilities of the rest of the players, their tactics all too often revolved around hitting long balls to Bothroyd in the hope that he would produce a moment of individual brilliance or set up a scoring opportunity for one of his team-mates. (WKT)

I was thinking about this very point earlier, and I agree. I know that Sugarman doesn't care what I think, but all he does is put together neat and concise 'reports'. In terms of actual writing, Carl is better.

It's so easy to pick holes in any report or blog as all are only an opinion,but TLG has done himself no favors by trying the "one-up-man ship" over Carl.

Dave, please don't put stuff in your blog we already know. ;)

If your all so concerned with the way TLG responds to Carls "Updates" here's a another novel(!) idea for you highlight, put your points to him directly, this can be done at CCMB, I'm sure most of you are farmiliar with.

But that is the point. That's what he did over on CCMB,he gave himself a back slapping exercise. :roll:

He reads them on here NQAT, so they are points directly to him. ;) and as most from here read moggis's site I'm sure he will respond accordingly over there. :lol:

It's not as though the other site is a million miles away is it? All the sites are but a click of a mouse. No passport or jabs needed.(except for planet swamp) :o He can also register under another name to if he wishes. Ask Daya. :lol: :lol:
