It was only a few months back that Cardiff City fans felt the nadir was reached as their team was smashed 4-0 at home by West Brom, a side that contained five centre-halves, a midfield of Marlon Pack, Leo Bacuna and Will Vaulks and James Collins up top.
The lone creativity and pace came from Ryan Giles. He couldn't do it on his own. The football was utterly dire.
Dark days indeed.
