      I think we are a worse side now than the side that capitulated to Bolton in the FA Cup and so I can’t really see us getting anything from Saturday’s game! Hope we do but really cannot see it!

      We should be a team with more confidence, as we’ve managed to put a run of wins away from home. We were in even worse form leading up to that game.

      So much is being made about the pitch and home form.
      If it was me I would have the team training at the DW rather than Christopher Park at the moment.
      Get the players comfortable on it and find a way to get this dreadful home run off our backs.

        It is a ridiculously worrying fact that Grant Holt is still our joint top league scoring striker with two goals and they weren’t even for us.

        Holt 2
        Waghorn 2
        Fortune 1
        McKay 0
        Clarke 1
        Riera 1
        DeLort 0

        Troy Deeney scored more in 90 minutes last night than Fortune has scored in 27 matches this season.

        I understand your point, but listing Holt as our joint top scorer in the league no sense at all. He isn’t because he didn’t score them for us.
        Delort has also scored while on loan at Tours as has Riera at La Coruña.

            We score first and we win.
            That is the trend at the moment, but we need it to happen more often and especially at home.

              Thank you Mr Whelan for 20 years.
              In your first full season Darlington and Hereford made the play-offs, while we just missed out.
              The plight of some of our rivals at that time should act as a reminder of how things could have turned out.

              Thank you again for making our dreams come true.

                I don’t expect Everton to win it, but I also didn’t expect us to win the FA Cup.

                  Lost 7 Drawn 1 !

                  Now if anyone was wondering why there is so much doom and gloom on here then the above stats should go some way to elucidating! Yet some folk still say ” Stop moaning” ! Fucking hell, they must be easily pleased, that is all I can say! :huh:

                  But we have only got 12 points on the road as opposed to 13 points at home, how can it be marginally better?[/quote]

                  Your subject was the last 8 home games (lost 7 drawn 1). We have 2 wins in the last 8 away games, therefore marginally better.

                      A lot of people renewed their ST for this season on the back of a narrow play-off exit and an FA Cup semi-final defeat after a magnificent defence of the trophy. Even so, average crowds this season have slipped almost 20% to 12410 from last seasons’ 15176.

                      Even if you do stay up, what is there to persuade them to renew for next season?

                      Latics crowds down 20%, Blackpool down 23%, Reading down 12%, Brighton down 7%.

                      No surprise with any of those and whether you consider season ticket holders or pay on the day isn’t it obvious what will bring people back?

                      Our attendances have actually held up better than I thought.

                        The is actually quite a classy response to this issue by the club.
                        Maybe we do have a PR machine behind the scenes.

                        http://www.wigantoday.net/sport/wigan-athletic/latics-give-away-cardiff-board-s-seats-to-volunteers-1-7123658

                        WIGAN Athletic have given away the seats reserved for members of the Cardiff City board to local volunteers.

                        Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan had earlier ordered his club’s directors to boycott tonight’s clash at the DW Stadium following his fall-out with Dave Whelan and former City manager and current Latics boss Malky Mackay.

                        However, Wigan Today understands that rather than leave 10 of the best seats in the house vacant, bosses at Wigan Athletic have instead chosen to give them away to hard-working volunteers from the club’s Community Trust and Wigan Youth Zone.

                        It’s believed that just two members from the Cardiff board were set to attend the Championship clash anyway.

                        Those who will now benefit will enjoy a meal in the chairman’s lounge before taking their seats in the director’s box for the game.

                          Why don’t they just say they will be watching City v Barcelona on the box.

                            Be very surprised if that game is on this Tuesday

                            Since we moved to The JJB/DW how many home games have been called off?
                            I’m struggling to think of any, despite all the pitch and drainage issues over the years.

                                No pun intended in the thread title! Who do you think is our main chink in our armour? Name just one player ( I know that could be hard to hold back ! ) who you think is our weakest point. I shall name Leon Barnett, the guy is a fuckin liability, an accident waiting to happen etc etc!
                                Would be interesting to see if we can get the whole squad mentioned respectively! ha ha

                                I think you need to join big Dave on the diversity course ;)

                                  When I think further back it is hard to beat Torquay away in 1997.
