Today's capitulation at Peterborough, having to take a point at the Championship's bottom club after leading 4-0 at half-time, is the biggest kick in the guts yet for Cardiff City fans. It is a theme of Dave Jones' tenure that City cannot hold onto leads and gift late goals.
Remember last season's top three - Wolves, Reading and Birmingham - all grabbing added time equalisers against us?
Have City learned lessons? Of course not!
Just look at how the past 2 months has panned out.
Oct 24th - Sheff United away
City win 4-3 but only after conceding on 90 minutes after then seeing Sheff U have one disallowed in added time
Nov 1st - Nottingham Forest home
City denied victory by Forest equaliser in added time
Nov 21st - Barnsley away
The Tykes win scoring with the last kick of the game
Nov 29th - Ipswich home
Roy Keane's men grab a winner with 5 minutes to go (having levelled with just over 15 minutes left)
Dec 26th - Plymouth home
The Green Army fluke a win with 6 minutes left
Dec 28th - Peterborough away
City draw a game they couldn't fail to win with Posh scoring on 89 and 90 minutes.
Points lost to goals in last 5 minutes = 7 (which would have us 1 point behind West Brom)
Plymouth at home apart, each of those games saw our opponents change tactics and formation which Cardiff and Dave Jones refused to counter or match up. Dinosaur!!
