Is there too many new faces?
Are we tired from our european games?
Are teams finding out to figure us out?
Is the manager to blame?
Or is it just another bad day at the office? |  | | |  |

First T2C, you haven't pointed anything out, if it's so obvious to you then say it or shut up. Another pointless post by you.
If it's unwarranted bleating then fair enough but we are not scoring enough. We played well enough but as Laudrup himself said at the start of his tenure, large amounts of possession and pretty football count for nothing, what counts is goals.
Right now I'll take an ugly win to get us back in the habit, before losing becomes a habit.
PS Uxbridge, as fans all we deserve is the team trying it's best. No club deserves success or failure, not even the redbirds. But it is frustrating when your team probably played the best on the day and still lost.
The same old people line up to knock anyone who dares be critical. We are all entitled to our opinion. And whether I'm being positive or negative I'll keep on buying my season (as long as I can afford it) and keep turning up to cheer the team on. I keep my comments for on here, I don't do booing or whinging at individual players in the ground. They don't like losing either and none of them try to play badly. |  |

YES he does say that and stupid is in the mind of the beholder although to state publicly Lita and Bony have anything in common except colour is somewhat surprising to read.
See,it can be done JS |
So you agree he's wrong to compare them, you've just done it in a much nicer way than me.
You're obviously a mellow dude really and just like winding us up on here, then sitting back in your chair in a smoking jacket while chuckling and probably smoking a pipe. You old devil. |  |

I think there are several on here who seem wound up but are actually sitting there calmly typing away, enjoying the fracas! | |

Now your trying to put words in my mouth.
Sorry but Ive had a lifetime of smartarse ,vermin Silks ripping into me trying to put words in my mouth and that of some hapless victim of crime.
If in doubt, go for brevity.
Smoking jackets are for Heswall, Hoylake is more Blazer or Apron. | |

Possibly it would be. Probably not so good for the emergency services in the area.
Some Cardiff fans accuse our fan base of having swollen heads after our recent success. While that is tarring everyone with the same brush, it's hard to argue with their point sometimes. |
Reckon we've become very unappreciative about the level the club and team are operating at, and relative blase about the successes of the club. Understandable in a way as it's been all relatively easy but sometimes you need to take a step back and look at where we are IMO. |  |

NOw there you re wrong "young" un.
Its becasue we are where we are that we -or some -expect higher things .
I swear I ll tweat the next one to come up with -look where we were when we had to play Hull -stuff.
What IS holding us back is people who believe we cannot or in some way do not deserve to go higher. Its back to the graveyard of ambition stuff.
well,kill me ,but I like to go to the Gym or simply for a pint wearing my shirt and like to stick my chest out in pride as for me we re worthy alright and it seems many up here don't see us as a humble ,comedy unit. We re a growing force in the game,people respect us as a whole and we should always strive to progress and that means not accepting ANYTHING less than 100 %.
Its my club and outside family it means everything to me,it really does and Im feacked if Im going to be part of the joke mind set we once were.
Finally, its an uncomfortable fact that we would not have a club if Liverpool Fc had not written of the debt of Kennedy so we really do owe them. Tough innit | |

How can nutty peoples beliefs(who have no say in how a club is run) hold back a football club, That makes no sense whatsoever. [Post edited 8 Oct 2013 10:56]

That's the key. There's a lot of reactive stuff going on. A win and we're brilliant, a loss and we're relegation bound.
I fully expect us to finish this season around the middle of the table and at least qualify for the knock-out stages of the Europa League. After that, the CL teams come in, so a tough draw could end our progress at anytime.
A season like that would be another success, although finishing lower than last year would cause many to call it a failure, laughable as that is.
Results like beating Valencia 3-0 away raise our profile abroad hugely. Many in Spain were probably aware of us due to our large Spanish contingent and the success of the likes of Michu, but results like that will be noticed by many more. That can only help with the growth of the club and our ability to attract good players.
Taking a step back is vital. It's a shame that so many seem incapable of doing so or think that doing so is not being 'ambitious'. | |

I was writing my response to Uxbridge when this went up and it pretty well highlights what I was trying to say.
Ambition is obviously needed Perch, but unrealistic expectations are at least as dangerous as lack of ambition.
- Keep finishing in comfortable positions in the league
- Have good runs in the cups and try to win them again
- Try and get into Europe again
- Buy good players at low prices and sell them at high prices
- Develop our own youngsters
- Develop our facilities
- Expand the stadium
- Replace managers and players that leave with quality replacements
- Grow the fanbase
- Develop the infrastructure of the club off the pitch
We've been doing those things for a while now and should continue to do so. If we carry on like that, then who knows where we'll end up.
Some people seem to feel we should beat everyone we play and become a Top 6, if not a Top 4 team overnight. Delusional. | |

Until you show a little respect it seems pointless arguing.
You are one of the many incapable of being civil to those who have a different perception.
You are consistent if nowt else.

Personally, I take every season we stay up as a success. It doesn't stop me hoping for better but I am firmly in the snatch your hand off for 17th camp.
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Most seasons this last ten years have been way beyond my best hopes.
Every season we stay up we grow stronger. But id doesn't get easier. The sooner we get more seats and more bums on them regularly the better.
What's changed the most with us now is expectations. And I am as guilty as anyone of sometimes expecting too much of our team.
I know people who were furious we'd lost to Arsenal, god knows what they made of Southampton? I was annoyed that we couldn't score, should have done better. Again, it's expectations!! | |

That s a class response and frankly its what we need as a fan base.
Cant argue with any of it although when the craop up the road beat City they believed they could as we ve done beaten the billy bigbloox clubs.
BELIEVE AND YOU WILL.
Its down to players not us.
They act and we react.
We cannot stand still though and think of how poor a pisspot club we were seen as. THAT attitude will kill us | |

Is that directed at me or Captain Sham?
He's asked a fair question and all he did was label you 'nutty'. You said you want to tw*t the next person who mentions how far we've come since the Hull game. Isn't that being uncivil? | |

I can and have been respectful whilst highlighting that you are talking nonsense. There's no easy way of telling someone that, Maybe I should humour you. Yes you are right the reason we aren't top of the league is because I don't think we can be. That's not insane at all. | |

A lot of us fell into the trap of reading all media sources blowing smoke up us and then believing it.We're only fans at the end of the day and want to believe the hype and any flattery towards us is welcomed and then believed in. | | | |
| What;'s changed with us lately? on 11:13 - Oct 8 with 1488 views | perchrockjack |
Not at you JS.
Nutty? HOW.
Nonsense ? What.
Its these questions that are not answered.
Its simply a matter etc.
To clarify... so read and note.
I m very proud to see us where we are. Im truly terrified it ll all end in my lifetime however long that ll be. If I see people like Ki strolling through games not breaking sweat,JDG not be arsed to tackle or simply a player actually miserable to have scored a goal then YEAH I ll comment. I m not interested in meeting people for a straightener | |

I've never found Franchise to be a bad sort. I don't see telling someone they posted nonsense as being uncivil, really I don't. The name calling, accusations and slurs on people's family are uncivil, downright rude and unwarranted.
Of course if you know someone well enough you'll call them names. I call my best mate a tw*t all the time, and he does me too. Context though is important. Slating someone and/or their family when you've never met is just plain wrong. You can tell someone off without being over the top. | |

Hey Franchise, there are people who believe in the power of positive thought and think PMA can overcome almost anything!!
Me, I think you just have to keep on trying, one day you'll get lucky!! The Swans day has come and we keep trying so we're still doing well. We still need a bit of work though! | |

And I would suggest that the reason whey he doesn't like people mentioning how recently we were actually on the verge of oblivion, is because it does make such a giant mockery of his point.
We have done something unique and remarkable, that hasn't been repeated, and we have done it in exactly the opposite manner to that which his is blethering on about.
We have done it on our terms, not his.
The fact is we need people like him, as an example of exactly how NOT to do it. | |
