Cardiff’s players have shown commitment and effort from the first whistle so it’s quite easy for the crowd to get behind them.

Exactly, when the team shows intent, which Cardiff are whenever they get a chance, it gets the fans excited. Stroking the ball around the back just makes them very nervous that at any moment they’ll lose it.

We would definitely be just as passionate as Cardiff fans are if we played like they are trying to do.

Have to say, their fans are making a great atmosphere, just wish we could get that sort of noise going at the Amex, we know the players thrive on it, and must hate it when the whole thing goes flat, or worse, the morning and booing starts.

They were not lack that a month or two back. Instead, resigned.

Nothing but swathes of empty seats this season until Liverpool rocked up

8 matches this season with a bigger crowd than we’ve had all season due to their ground being bigger, their lowest home attendance was against us, 29402, and it was POTG for us.
Only two matches with sub 30k, and they were both 29k+, all the rest in excess of 30k :shrug:

Average home attendance 31165.

That stadium is almost always three-quarters full. I don't think they open the top-tier unless it's for one of the top 6. They must count non-attending STHs like we do for league games. I wouldn't trust the official figures

I think we are already safe.... Cardiff need two results out of three (at least one of those a win) to even get to above 34 points.... Fulham are on a hattrick of wins and even beat Everton 2-0 at home.... can't see Manchester United dropping any points either. Crystal Palace just beat Arsenal quite easily too.

You didn’t watch United today, did you.......

I'm worried about Man Utd's ability to beat Cardiff on the final day

Really need them still to be in the hunt for fourth place.

I think we've got to target Southampton, they might just think they've already done enough this season. It only takes a team to be 5% off of it to lose. Cardiff won't lie down.

Southampton unfortunately still have Huddersfield at home. We’d need two wins to catch them.

Can't see us getting three more 0-0's. Southampton are save, we have to hope and pray Cardiff fall apart and Palace don't throw them a favour.

I can't see Ole wanting the season to finish with anything other than a home win irrespective of whether top 4 is still on. I was more worried about today with Cardiff being at home.

Why are Southampton safe? Watford A, Bournemouth h, could easily lose those two.
