    Last Spring when we deservedly lifted the Championship trophy, I really believed VK could walk on water. There was a genuine buzz of excitement from everyone connected with the club , from top to bottom. I floated through last summer, getting plenty of compliments along the way, wearing my Burnley shirts etc, at every given opportunity, on the streets of Cardiff and surrounding areas, aswell as on holidays too. It was great to be noticed that I was a fan of a great club, who were definitely” on the way back “. It was a great season, and despite the tough opening half a dozen fixtures, I could see light at the end of the tunnel, and expected us to be climbing the table to a comfortable position, as we approached the second half of the season
    . Relegation never ever entered my mind, until reality sunk in. Like many others, I now have doubts about the manager, and also the way in which the club is being run. You couldn’t wish for a greater contrast in 12 months of football. It’s disillusioning, disappointing and disheartening to see the way things are going. Is there any hope for the not too distant future ? Right now, it’s hard to believe there is.

    A good post Mal, I would think that sums up the way most of us are feeling.

    I agree.Surely VK couldn't have anticipated being in the position we are by Christmas.I hear good things being said about individual players
    such as Laarsen,Koleosho,Amdouni etc but what contribution have we had this season from Benson and Zaroury,I don't think the latter was even on the bench on Saturday.
