The summer of 2022 represented a huge opportunity to change Cardiff City's playing squad and set them on a new course for success.
The fact it was entrusted to a rookie manager in Steve Morison, who had never managed a club before and hasn't since leaving Cardiff, and on a shoestring budget made it a mightily difficult task.
No-one expected it to be perfect, that much can be said with confidence. Every Bluebird knew there would be creases to iron out and cracks to patch up as the season went on, but, on the whole, Morison made a good fist of it in the circumstances.
