Cardiff City recently managed to re-establish the 10 point advantage at the top of the table following the 1-0 win over Leeds United. As a result of this victory, the club have now managed to win the last five away encounters in the Championship. They will be able to establish a new record if the manager another victory against Huddersfield Town during the weekend. The manager Malky Mackay has said that he wants to beat the record set by the Cardiff team in the late 1940s of eight successive victories away from home. Another Cardiff team in the early 1990s managed to win seventh successive matches away from home.

Cardiff City have been on an extraordinary run of form in the last few weeks, which has seen them open a significant advantage in the table. However, there are still 17 matches left to play in the championship, and the manager Mackay has said that he has already warned the players about complacency. Cardiff go into the match against Huddersfield with great confidence especially considering the state of the opposition. Huddersfield have managed just one victory in the last 16 matches, while they are under the control of a caretaker manager. Mackay has credited the meticulous preparation to each match as the reason for success.

“We prepare in the same meticulous way for every match, home and away. This is now all about monotonous consistency and not being complacent. We have been consistent of late and have to maintain that momentum,” said Mackay ahead of the match with Huddersfield. Mackay was extremely delighted with the debut made by the new signing Fraizer Campbell in the match against Leeds United. The Sunderland striker was brought to the club for around £ 700,000, and he scored his first goal in the 1-0 win over Leeds.

The Cardiff city manager Malky Mackay has said that he is expecting even more good things from the team in the forthcoming matches. Mackay has said that he can see that the team is on the brink of going on an extremely good run of form because they are playing with a lot of confidence. The team has just managed to win nine home matches on the bounce, which has helped them to take on Crystal Palace in the table. This incredible achievement came after the 1-0 win over Middlesbrough during the weekend. Following this match, they will be facing Barnsley and Derby before welcoming the former manager Dave Jones and his Sheffield Wednesday team.

Even though the home form has been excellent for Mackay and his men, the away form has not been so good as they have suffered three consecutive defeats against Nottingham Forest, Bolton, and Charlton. Mackay is hoping that this slide will be arrested starting with the match against Barnsley after which they will face yet another away match against Derby. Away from has been a major letdown for Cardiff this season, as they have conceded a lot of goals. Mackay has identified this area as one to improve if they are to win promotion automatically this season.

“We look at that run at the end of last season and that is something we know we are capable of. The results away have not been what we might have wanted, but I don’t think there’s been a time when we have been totally out of a game or well beaten. We have always been in there. The key is for us to cut out errors and to improve, most importantly, out final decision making,” said Mackay. Cardiff will be looking to open an advantage over the likes of Leicester and Middlesbrough.
