Seems to be a lot of anger and frustration regarding the events of last night. Malky's tactics seem to be causing much consternation. Maybe Malky is still learning his trade and whilst doing well and showing promise, is not quite the finished article yet! We would have loved the win to calm the nerves, and came so close to another clean sheet. Good News Another point gained towards our goal. Eighty points reached, well clear of Watford. 15 points still to play for. Predicted corrected for league. Bad News Two points dropped. Malky's obsession with HH a concern, but he's only got till the end of the season, then will be gone (HH that is). Remaining Games Nottingham Forest home Charlton Athletic home Burnley away Bolton Wanderers home Hull City away Note To Diary Fifty year wait soon to be over, keep calm, celebrate!
I'm very worried. More worried than I should be perhaps. However, if we lose to Forest and Watford win, the gap is closed to six. Bolton is a game I'd be worried about. less said about Hull the better. We've won little recently and I fear that we may talk about last night for years to come. For all the wrong reasons.
Chill - I think you are stressed (and understandably) because of our horrendous previous experiences at the tail end of seasons. But think rationally. We are effectively 7 points clear of hull (theres no way that GD is being made up) and 9 clear off watford. Both teams have been dropping points consistently over the last few weeks. For us to not get automatic promotion would mean we lose 3 of our 5 remaining games, Watford win all of theirs and hull win or draw all of theirs. I know we are Cardiff fans, and we are used to turn arounds that seem impossible - but if you would have bitten anybody's hand off to be in this position at this point in the season. If we dont go up from here, then a curse has been put on us meaning we never will!
I know it's somewhat irrational but that sort of last minute nonsense should simply not be happening. MM's been great but at the moment, if we do make it up, I can see him being sacked at Christmas.
Dortmund scored 2 injury time goals. This happens in football but if they had not scored everyone would have been saying what a great win. We deserve promotion now with 5 games left and leading for so long, if we do not get what we deserve then I am not sure what we can do about that. jck
