The warning signs have been there since Cardiff City's return from the international break.
The Bluebirds started woefully against Swansea City and paid the price with two goals. They showed heart in that much to get back into it, before their soft belly was exposed again with a 99th-minute Ben Cabango winner.
The same can be said for Cardiff's opening 20 minutes or so against Blackpool. Fortunately for Cardiff that time, the Seasiders did not possess the requisite quality to make them pay. And, unlike any other game this season, everything that hit a Cardiff foot over the next 15 minutes flew into the back of Blackpool's net.
