Cardiff rested the entire first team! Tbh whilst it would have been nice to have won......I am honestly glad that - we are out. The premier league is the aim, and with the small squad that they have, then we will give Wembley a miss this year.
For how many years has the premier league been Cardiff's dream ? I wish them luck but they'll need it !
Far, far, too long. As you can imagine they are analysing the points scenario needed to achieve,and also illustrating teams who have been half a street ahead of the pack - only to falter as the nerves set in.
I honestly believe that their present manager (Malky Mackay) will, with or without them, go on to manage a top side. He looks the part, has a great repartee with the fans, and is eager to learn and try new techniques. His main downfall as far as I am concerned is that he changes the tactics quite drastically when playing away. The away record is not that clever which might cost them, however they had a great festive season return of 4 out of 4 wins. Having said that he approaches every match in a singular manner and will keep their feet firmly on the ground.
I am not convinced that they are playing like a top side should do - but they are winning. Providing that they can stay away from injuries and as indicated by yourself have plenty of luck - then they should go pretty close.
