CITY TAKING THE P*SS or WAS LAST NIGHT'S RESULT EXPOSING OUR LIMITATIONS YET AGAIN?

It's understandable that those who went to Molineux last night came back telling tales of a depressing experience. It must have been miserable to watch.

I admire all our fans who went as each are supporters of the highest order to go away midweek for a nothing match under the regime of bubble match restrictions too.

I have been unwell this week, like DJ, so couldn't make it but wouldn't have bothered had I been well. Saving it for Wembley. Everything else is just a run-up to it as far as I'm concerned as we've been little more than a mid-table to Top 10 club all season in reality although, when our main 11 are fit and available, then we're as good as anyone in this division.

I was a little surprised by some claims that City weren't trying hard enough although it is conceivable. Ask yourself if you'd go flying in for a match with little consequence when the only chance you'll have of a F.A. Cup Final appearance is around the corner. It's natural to think twice.

However I'm not sure it was strictly a case of City not trying, it sounded like they were the better passing and move side for long periods, but our inability to do something in the final third unless one of our midfielders produces a piece of magic.

Thommo and Jimmy having been taking it in turns up front with Parry injured but their collective 2008 league tally is three goals (all Jimmy's) in 32 outings. Paul Parry missing makes us look the most ordinary side in the Championship up front. As soon as he went absent, any play-off hopes were gone no matter how much they talked it up. It's the lack of resources that gives us inconsistency.

For two seasons, Dave Jones has given us good runs and terrible runs with no happy medium. Just look at the records. So why be surprised that an 11 match unbeaten run is followed by 2 successive defeats?

That unbeaten run came after 6 games without a win and just 2 points which immediately followed a great run with Dave Jones getting Manager of the Month but that only came after a terrible run when many wanted him sacked. Rollercoaster Ride? They don't have as many ups and downs as the CCFC version.

Cardiff City are frustratingly inconsistent but it is time to invest in this team to gave DJ more numbers and extra quality ... fail to do that and the only sure thing I know is that we will get more of the same.
