" A Reminder About This Season "

http://www.cardiffcityforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=54214&hilit=free+season

Just remember where we were at the start of the season. We just lost 2-0 to West Ham, who are chock-a-block with Premiership talent, after giving everything we had against one of the best teams in the league just 7 days earlier in what was not only a physically draining affair but a mentally draining affair.

Looking at the line ups I would have said a 3-0 West Ham win would be an expected result so 2-0 isn't a disaster and that's not taking into account the Carling Cup excursions.

Sometimes you just have to put your hands up and say "f**k it, they had too much for us" and given the surrounding circumstances, that's what we should do.

Will we go up? I can't see it realistically but it's not going to stop me believing it might still happen. So what if we don't though? Given the thin squad we've had and the Carling Cup Final, we've already exceeded expectations in my eyes and the final 13 games are a case of nothing to lose in my eyes.

Well said Dave agree with everything you say there pal! Top post going to the top of the board

Nice one Steve....

I agree West Ham just had to much for us yesterday and we shouldn't get to down about it.

I still believe we will make the playoffs this season, even if we lose on Wednesday night. After the Wurzels game on Saturday we will have 7 games at home and all are winnable whilst the Wurzels and Barnsley away again are winnable.

I also fancy us to pick up at least one win from Middlesbrough, Birmingham and Palace away.

Wembley on Whit Monday is still on the cards as far as I'm concerned.

agree,we were spoilt in the Dave Jones era although obviously fell at the final hurdle, fa cup and play offs
After only following the city for 3 seasons after moving from England ,ill hold my hands up and say last season i turned up and expected the team with bellers,bothroyd etc to blow every team away and got on their backs when they didnt
After Malky started with virtually no team here, ive realised what such a fine job hes doing and that Cardiff city do not have the divine right to success
Theres still plenty of points to play for and im confident well come at least very close to the playoffs and if not well try again next season.

We've never supported Cardiff 'cos they are world beaters, leave that to the thousands of people across South Wales who need to support successful clubs from afar in an armchair or down the pub. We support Cardiff 'cos they represent us and WE represent them, so stop sulking and back the players and management.

Malky is the man, I think he should play Heaton and not always go with Miller but I don't pick the team, Malky does, he's a damn sight more qualified than I am to do so and therefore if he picks Marshall and Miller I try to spur them on as much as the likes of McNaughton, Whittingham, Cowie and Turner.

We'd hold much more weight as a club if those wet blankets who (well they don't support/follow) watch Man Utd or Liverpool on the TV got off their arse and supported their local club, we'd've had to build a stadium the size of the Millenium to fit them all in, we'd probably be a pretty successful club, so if we have to blame anyone, blame them or perhaps just be thankful that you don't have to endure that type of person game in, game out and accept that we are who we are.

Personally I don't think we've ever had it so good. I loves it.

I completely agree with everything this guy said!.
good post mate

Well said, good post mate

I'm one of those supporters who can occassionally be heard sharing some views out loud, with plenty of language to go with it - I've given up counting how many times I've said sorry to the nice elderly lady who ists in front of me in the Ninian

Yesterday was the first time I wasn't gripped with a desperate despair when we conceded - might be I'm starting to grow up now I'm 50, or it might be I'm perversely appreciating what it is to be a football supporter.

Either way, if we'd got somehting out of yesterday it would have been really fortunate - we've been fortunate before this season, beating Southampton was a prime example they mullered us and lost! It wasn't to be yesterday.

All teams in this division go through a slump, and we are in ours now. It's a shame but there it is. None of the team were at their best, I might mention Marshall should be trained how to clear his 6 yard box and fined for not coming for a cross when it is there for the taking, but that would just be the fat old goalie in me - on the other hand he saved brilliantly in the second half when Kev put them through

I for one do NOT want any expensive signings or duff loanees - it takes time to sort large business debt out, and we have more than most.

Doesn't stop me wanting the world every match, but I'm getting over it a bit easier now thanks to the MAlky therapy - lose with dignity

Steve,

The Carling Cup was what dreams are made of and I will never forget.

If we lost every game from now to the end of the season, I will still be going. I will be going away to Brighton/Bristol C/Birmingham/ Boro and C.Palace. I only ever not got due to family commitments, results no matter how bad would never stop me going.

cracking post mate

Great post Zabier and a great thread Best on here for a long time

Good post

I never though we would get more than 1 point from playing WH over the season so to come away with 3 is a bonus.

We still have a chance for the play offs and whether we go up or not this season "I'll be there"

Good post.

We were poor yesterday but could still have earned a point-2 shots against woodwork and 1 or 2 half chances.

The team have surpassed my expectations this year and although the last month has been dire in terms of league performances we are still in with a shout of the play offs.
