Cardiff City has truly become a permanent member of the Championship, the second English Premier League, since 2004. Only two seasons, 2013/14 and 2018/19, is an exception. Here Welshmen were allowed to play in the Premier League.

But adventure lasted only one season at a time and ends at the direct relegation. It is also the case in the pre-season. Such as 18 in the table, the Bluebirds missed relegation by one place and two counters.

At the start of the new season second division, the club continued to express confidence in coach Neil Warnock, who has been with Cardiff since the 2016/17 season. Patience those responsible for fatigue in mid-November. After matchday 16, Welsh only 14 in the second division. So Warnoch had to pack things and was replaced by Neil Harris, who previously coached Millwall.

With three wins and a draw, the Bluebirds started the era of coach Harris well. After that, there is only one win from eight matches following competitive. There were five draws during this period, two games lost. On Sunday it was only 0-0 in the South Wales derby at home against Swansea City. The home team has been the better team in the first half and could lead.

Today, the blue-and-white is in twelfth place in the championship. With 26 points the home (7S-5U-1N) City is the fourth-best home team in the second division. Away from home, the Welsh feel a little more difficult. Twelve counter (2S-6U-6N) just enough to place 16th in the table go.
