Cardiff City's defensive record has been a major and ongoing concern throughout the campaign.
The Bluebirds have shipped 44 goals in their 25 games this term, far too many for a team with so many experienced professionals in it. Only Reading (45) and Peterborough (48), the two teams immediately below Cardiff, have worse defences.
That cannot be attributed only to the defenders, of course, with the rest of the team also needing to harbour their share of the blame for being far too accommodating to opposition sides.
