we finished 11th and 12th, so had a mid table prem squad and then spent a lot of money.

Cardiff invested ?35 million, badly according to many 'inners'

The reason we stayed up last season (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 11, 18:53:17
- a little bit distorted in that we get most of the top teams at home (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Jan 11, 18:56:05
- you were convinced we were going down last season (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 11, 18:55:34
  - Do you think we'll finish 11th again under this manager? With our last 4 games? (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 11, 18:57:26
    - I don't think we'll finish 11th again this season whoever is manager (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 11, 19:20:29
    - last four games could work in our favour (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 11, 19:00:50
      - Do you seriously think any of the top 4 will have nothing to play for (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 11, 19:05:24
        
        in reality we won't know this until we play them (NCFC) - Kar1, Jan 11, 19:07:49
        
        Very possible - as with Man City away last season (n/m) (NCFC) - grumpy, Jan 11, 19:06:32
        
        *any of those 4, that should say (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 11, 19:06:31
- Trouble is everybody strengthened even Cardiff spent 35 million (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 18:55:15
  - we spent a lot more than plenty of clubs down there (NCFC) - wolfio, Jan 11, 19:08:10
  - Yes: to a Championship side. We added to a side which was at least half a level better (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 11, 18:56:21
    - Point remains we spent a lot for us... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 19:00:47
      - we finished 11th and 12th, so had a mid table prem squad and then spent a lot of money. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:06:58
        
        But it wasn't just Cardiff that spent money ... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 19:08:56
        
        Hughton spent his money well by all accounts and yet results are significantly worse (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:11:54
        
        a lot more key injuries this year (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 11, 19:15:50
        
        and yet I can hardly remember a weak First XI put out in the league (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:18:11
        
        how many weak XIs have we played against then? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 11, 19:25:51
        
        Everton had there first choice central defenders out today (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:27:28
        
        they missed one first choice defender - Distin (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 11, 19:29:43
        
        I think you badly over-rate our squad (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 11, 19:19:46
        
        Top 4 Everton.. No Shit... (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:20:37
        
        Well, you could apply that to all of the top seven (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 11, 19:22:18
        
        Top 6 Top 7 Top 8... changes every week depending on who beats us (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:25:11
        
        none of our players would get in any of the top seven teams (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 11, 19:28:55
        
        competing fine = a couple of points better of than the worst of them (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:32:41
        
        results are not significantly worse (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 11, 19:13:40
        
        points are well down on this time last season (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:14:08
        
        not all seasons follow exactly the same pattern (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 11, 19:15:40
        
        not in points we aren't, we are down on last season (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:17:15
        
        we are three points from 10th (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 11, 19:19:05
        
        and 3 points from 20th (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:19:32
        
        correct - so why do you say 12th - 20th (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 11, 19:20:09
        
        because we won't finish that high (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:21:21
        
        I think more chance of 10th than 20th (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 11, 19:22:34
        
        I think if Hooper gets injured we will be relegated (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:24:14
        
        goals are down... goals against are up (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:14:22
        
        Time for a change yes I tend to agree (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 19:13:24
        
        beat Hull and we could end up 11th or 12th lose and we could end up in the drop zone (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 11, 19:15:33
