    We do desperately need a home win, I wonder how different it would have been had we pinched the Derby game, which we should have in all reality.

    Not from either towns but I thought Geordies were more likely to go with an O while Mackems go with an A. Like Howay/Haway. Someone will know.

    I may be wrong, but when I have been managing teams in the lower leagues and I happen to inherit players from a team that has just been relegated from the Premier League I may think these players though poor in the league they were in will somehow do the job in the Championship. I mean a **** striker in the Premier League could prove prolific in the lower leagues based on the perceived poor quality of defenders of the opposition.
    Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out that way in reality. Probably Grayson thought more or less along similar lines.

    In reality we spent no money on strikers and needed two impact players to replace those that have departed, we didn't and are now paying the price.

    We are in agreement as I think hes on really thin ice now and could be sunk if we don't beat Fulham and/or Preston - dodgy times ahead (same type wr've had too many times.
    But my club always has my support or my life up to now will have a big empty space on the shallow side.
    We need to keep positive imo

    Much the same views of my cousin a very long time season ticket holder.
    Not brilliant but let's remember Cardiff are joint top.
    I still feel hopeful for goals when Watmore Asoro and Maja are back and Grabban :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Grayson needs to learn from his mistakes and change his tactics to suit the players in his squad, otherwise he'll soon be entering dangerous territory - if he's not there already.

    Wow that’s fascinating, McCarthy stats given he was working with shrimp shells for a budget? I guess it just seemed his record was awful due to the last year.

    I still think bringing Keane back would have been savvy, not that he’d ever work for Short again like.
