Cardiff City's draw with Blackpool on Saturday represented the mid-point of the season. Halfway through the campaign, for the second time running, like it or not, they are in the relegation mix.
Cardiff have now won only two of their last 10 Championship games, form that will see them eventually drop into the bottom three if it is not drastically improved the other side of Christmas.
Many were billing the game against Blackpool as a must-win, despite there being 23 games still left in the season, given the Seasiders are one of the teams currently occupying the bottom three and had seven first-team players unavailable for their trip to south Wales.
