I will give every manager we have my support, likewise the team will have my support.
I am sick and tired of people who write that I don’t support this guy or that guy or that I want my team to fail.
Let’s bat this off straight away, I want Cardiff City Football Club to be as big as they can possibly dare to dream.
I want the team I support to win every game they play!
But that will not stop me being honest about performances or managers tactics. I say it as it is and I will always be the same.
We can discuss Malky, DJ, Tan, Sam or any manager or owner you wish but it matters nothing, it is about today and opinions on the football that we currently play.
If we want to be positive then we will argue that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has won his two home games, drawn two aways and lost one. That form over the course of the season will get us promoted, dress it any way you want but it will. It is simple, win your homes and draw your aways except for a few defeats and you be very unlucky to not be promoted.
If you want to be negative then Cardiff City have taken two points from a possible nine on the road and against Fulham ( who had not taken a point beforehand) and Wolves (who came up from League One), it could be argued that it is not what is expected.
So where do I sit on the first five games?
Truth is, performance wise, I have seen no evidence of this attack minded football that Ole said we would play under him and I do not see in our play a team that will get promoted automatically.
But football is not about performances, as we know, it is about results and Ole’s team is getting the points chalked up to deliver promotion.
Today was another example, for me anyway, of performance being poor but result being ok.
I am sure most honest City fans feel the same way.
