Cardiff have had a season of progress, but there is still plenty of room for progress
If Cardiff beat Rotherham on Saturday, assuming the game isn’t rained off (never forget!), they will have recorded 20 wins for the season and 21 defeats. That is unprecedented in the Championship, probably because it’s a bit weird. Its rare to be quite so black or white, but Cardiff are always either a bit Jekyll […]
Davd Turnbull is a good player, but will he prove to be a bad signing?
The January transfer window was going to be a game changer. After a partial embargo, with a sustained diet of freebies and loans, Cardiff could finally spread their financial wings. Some were expecting big moves and large sums invested, but the only permanent arrivals were Ethan Horvath, who didn’t even have a squad number at […]
Goals and where to find them in the transfer market
Cardiff need more goals in their team, but who doesn’t. Kieffer Moore was and will forever remain the silver bullet, but in the likelihood that ship has now finally sailed, what needs to happen now? Goals are the most expensive commodity in the game. A term you often hear is that the manager needs to […]
The Erol Bulut Hokey Cokey
You put your left arm in, left arm out. With sights already firmly fixed on next season, we’re all doing the Erol Bulut Hokey Cokey at the moment. Season tickets have just gone on sale and as per usual, we have no idea who will oversee the campaign we’re being asked to invest in. Bulut’s […]
Normal service resumed as Cardiff shrink in Swansea
Now we know. That win earlier in the season was not the turning of a page, it was simply the confluence of exceptional factors in Cardiff’s favour. A fit and firing Aaron Ramsey, a bear pit atmosphere, a rare Swansea manager that didn’t quite get it. It all conspired to create a glorious and all […]
It’s time for stability. It’s time to build with Bulut
What would constitute progress this season? It’s up to the individual, I guess. Anything higher than 21st is literal progress, but expectations, especially under the current circumstances, should be trained a little higher than that. Cardiff were bedded into 14th place for a while and most seemed relatively satisfied with that, but they‘ve since crept […]
Roathboy x Dave Jones
The last few years have been a bit of a slog, with a high turnover of managers and a team troubling the wrong end of the table. The fact that Dave Jones was keeping Cardiff competitive in the Championship, while tasked with turning a healthy profit and losing his best players every year feels rather […]
Erol Bulut once again needs the lift that only a derby can provide
Cardiff had a good week last week, and it’s been a while since the last one. The goalless draw with Blackburn will not win any awards, but there were clear signs of progress. Coming off the back of a thrashing at Norwich, a clean sheet was a big step in the right direction, but there […]
Roathboy x Mehmet Dalman
With the January transfer window firmly closed and targets secured, there remains speculation and uncertainty with regards to why nothing happened for so long and why certain targets were missed. So, I asked chairman Mehmet Dalman and this is what he said. This was a very strange window in that Profitability and Sustainability fears saw […]
We don’t know what we’re doing
After a pair of identikit 2-0 defeats, Cardiff have now recorded a return of 17 points in 17 games, failing to find the net in 10 of the last 18. It’s not pretty and neither are recent performances. Suffice to say, it’s a chore at the moment and Erol Bulut’s comments after the game didn’t […]
