Cardiff City

Cardiff City take big numbers on the road and the atmosphere they generate is a genuine part of their away record, which is not something you can say about many clubs at this level. Going up at the first attempt bought the club a lot of goodwill, though it is worth remembering this is largely the same squad that got relegated, with the same questions attached to it.

Fitness and intensity are what supporters point to when things are going well, and a Cardiff side that presses properly is difficult for anyone in this division to play through. The complaint that comes back season after season is consistency.

Good runs are followed by inexplicable defeats to sides in the bottom six, and the club has a long history of finding itself in mid table having beaten most of the teams above it.

There is also the matter of goals, since Cardiff have often relied on set pieces and moments rather than sustained pressure. The home and away split is the useful comparison here, because it will tell you quickly whether the travelling support is worth the points it is often credited with.
