What can you say about the Bluebirds … "Fan – Dabi – Dozi", a catchphrase right out of the mouth of Wee Jimmy Krankie and meaning fantastic. Top of the league, unbeaten after four games and Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock is telling the fans to 'enjoy' the success.
I would like to think we could go all season without a defeat. Realistically there will be difficulties to the season but as Warnock is suggesting I will follow the wave of excitement the club is generating. It was a good win for the Bluebirds only spoilt by the reaction of the Wolves manager and their fans on social media.
The manager is blaming the referee and suggesting Warnock’s game plan was to be aggressive which made me laugh because maybe the Cardiff boss saw a weakness in the Wolves team like they are a bunch of pussies. We can bet other Championship managers have taken note of the possible weakness. The old chestnut, “Why is a Welsh club in our English League” was prominent which tends to happen when we are winning coming from some Wolves fans who also took up this aggressive question. Get a life I say.
Season find in the Championship must be Nathaniel Mendez-Laing a free signing from Rochdale who would have thought that. I will hold my hands up at when he signed I was not impressed with a freebie from Rochdale and after some research there was still little to excite me. Boy was I wrong! Warnock sprinkled some of his footballing wisdom on Mendez-Laing and in the process turning a freebie into not just a fine addition to his squad also a seven-figure asset to the club.
Midfielder Mendez-Laing is currently one of the joint top league scorers in the Championship. It’s just not down to Mendez-Laing, the whole team have made the jump forward under Warnock. On Saturday fellow midfielder, Joe Ralls picked up the plaudits from the fans, the defence have been strong and up front, leading the line the forwards have be contributing .
If you compare the team that played in Cardiff’s fourth game last season with Paul Trollope in charge, only four from his team made it into Warnock’s team this weekend and Trollope had Zohore unused on the bench. We now have a full Neil Warnock team we seen the beginnings of it last season and we are now reaping the awards of the vast football knowledge of the Cardiff City manager.
