So here we are again, another few weeks have passed and choosing to look at the positives of which they are many more than there are negatives I'm going to choose one word. Unbeaten.
Now the eagle eyed amongst you will know that technically whilst referring to Cardiff City this season we are not unbeaten and although "technically" true (darn you Brighton!) i am not referring to our season's performance, i am in fact referring to our new, altogether MASSIVELY improved mindset under our glorious new manager, a certain Malky Mackay.
Haven't you just felt it these last few weeks? Can't you just smell it amongst the Brains Bitter and Clark's Pies? It's that rarest of smells at the Cardiff City Stadium, the smell of optimism. It's a new sense of "You know what, so what if we lose? The boys are giving 100% until the final whistle and i can't fault it". No doubt some of you more battle-weary City fans have probably lost all sensitivity to this particular smell and who can blame you? However for those of us who've braved the cold nights on the Bob Bank and cold days away clinching promotion at York City and lived to tell the tale of Wembley-woes and Cup Finals then we can just about start to smile again.
At the beginning of my article i referred to us having a new mindset and i truly believe this to be the case. Malky and his staff have instilled a new ethos at Cardiff. It's a "work hard-then work harder-then work til you drop" mentality and my word it was desperately needed. For too long Cardiff City fans have endured lacklustre performance after performance and whilst all is not perfect and we still have moments where we struggle i cannot believe the team i am watching in front of my eyes.
Isn't about time we started to open our nostrils, take a big whiff and smile and say you know what, we might not make it this year but who cares we're gonna give it a blooming good go trying.
