Exactly , it was a rip off before . First year in around ten for me without a season ticket , be surprised if I make many trips this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were at the last games of last season, especially the Norwich game our opponents struggled big time with the pace of Joao and Forestieri and dare I say it Matias. Nuhiu was a powerful presence and with Hutchinson we don’t lack muscularity. Just keep em fit. know what your saying but imo Hutch should be centre half aside lees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beloved_aunt Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 4 hours ago, striker said: It's a comfortable mid table squad, defensively too weak and lacking creativity from wide areas to compete for promotion. Is it really massively inferior to what Cardiff started with last season? Its probably better than there's was on paper in fact. Not saying this automatically means we'll "do a Cardiff", just that it is not beyond on the realms. And remember Jos is the Dutch equivalent of Colin when it comes to getting promoted.

And remember Jos is the Dutch equivalent of Colin when it comes to getting promoted. I get that and it's a good point, but sometimes clubs have luck which Cardiff had elements of last season, like Blackpool and to a certain extent Huddersfield in previous years. Their promotions were a perfect storm of reasonably consistent team selections, form and competitor incompetence. Think we stand as good a chance as any but not among the favourites by any means. Jos can only work with what he has it seems and however good he may be, he has some obvious gaps in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the returning players from injury, and Jos' clear desire to look after players fitness, I think we are at our strongest since 2015/16. Honestly? Loovens and Wallace of 2015 walk in the OP side and Hunt walks into it now.... Van Aken, Pelupessy, Lee out of position, Joao and Nuhiu up top hardly better our starting 11 from the playoff final. We've just bought crap since and spent a fortune and if anything we are worse! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a different manager, different coaches and a different style of play to the start of the last three seasons. We finished last season strongly in spite of still having several top players unavailable. Can we just wait until a few games in to 2018/19 before we start with all the doom and gloom.

Finishing in the top 6 is not good enough for dc..you reckon he will be happy with another top 6 finish and failure in the play offs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Could do with new wing backs thats are fast and athletic. Other than that we are fairly well balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loovens & Wallace of 2018 walk in the side too, mainly as their legs had gone before they had left us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
