For the second year running, Cardiff City are staring down the barrel of another relegation fight as we near the halfway point of the season. It's an uncomfortable truth, but avoiding the drop is something fans are already talking about, even this early on in the campaign.
Twenty-one games have already passed us by and the Bluebirds are once again on their second manager of the season and have won just seven times since the league began at the end of July.
Goals are the glaring problem. The defence, largely, is standing up to scrutiny, with 10 teams having conceded more goals than Cardiff. But the face-smacking fact is that Cardiff are the worst attacking team in the league when it comes to putting the ball in the back of the net.
