Hasnt worked out bad at all but sometimes instead of pissing about around the edge of the box the wingers need to just cross the ball into the box as a running Bony and Michu will concern any defender. Not saying he is useless just think its the next area we need to strengthen, imagine having a player like Townsend added to our squad. Routlage and Dyer are massive players for us but their quick deliveries into the box are not the best and that would be a great asset to have IMO.

I dont think that Routlage is a waste of space! My opinion is that he was a good player for us for the past two seasons but now we have brought in some serious talent and is now not looking as good as he once did! I think its time now to start looking for another winger, an upgrade to a faster player who has great crossing ability.

Swansea V Cardiff [Stats & Facts]
at 20:31 22 Oct 2013

Ha ha! Look at the OP and the stats will suggest that we do actually go foreword and more than the opposition we have faced so far! (United, Spurs, Liverpool, WBA, Arsenal, Sunderland, Palace & Southampton)

Also we have had more shots and shots on target that has come against us! This tells me that we dominate most games, so to say that we only make passes in our own half and don't go foreword is rubbish! Which is proven by the stats posted! Football is really that bad down there isn't it because you don't really have a clue do you!

Looking at your stats the only game you deserved to win was the Fulham game. Parking the bus wont pick you up enough points to survive and you are creeping closer to the position you deserve!

P.S. I would rather watch our players pass the ball around our own half for most of the game than being pegged back and hanging on for dear life!!!!!!!!!
Deluded we are not!!!!!

Swansea V Cardiff [Stats & Facts]
at 23:33 21 Oct 2013

Hello Im new to this forum but there has been something that has been getting on my tits and I wanted to share and discuss with my fellow Jacks. and that is:

Is the constant praise that Cardiff seem to be getting Justified? And are we having a poor start like some may suggest.

To do this I decided to look at all the match statistics so far focusing on:
Total shots made, shots made on target, shots taken by opposition, shots on target by opposition and possession average to determine the performance of each team. And have come up with a performance score based on the total.

Results

Cardiff: Possession Av 46.13% Opposition 53.88% [Score -7.75]
Swansea: Possession Av 56.75% Opposition 43.25% [Score +13.5]

Cardiff: Total shots 84, opposition shots 143 [Score -59]
Swansea: Total shots 109, opposition shots 93 [score +16]

Cardiff: Shots on target 19, opposition 51 [Score -32]
Swansea: Shots on target 46, opposition 28 [score +18]

Cardiff: Goals scored 8, Conceded 15 [score -7]
Swansea: Goals scored 12, conceded 11 [score +1]

Total Points:

Cardiff: -105.75
Swansea: +48.50

Ok there may be other variables that could be argued, but looking at the statistical facts I will say Cardiff are being massively overrated and have been riding on luck a bit and statistically we seem to be preforming very well and just need a little more luck on our side.

Also I also would like to point out that the statistics can quiet our critics who say our style is boring and that we tend to keep pointless possession!!!!!!
