Season review

Kit

On June 26, 2009 Cardiff announced it had signed a five-year deal with Puma, licensed by Genesis Group International, to manufacture a new technical kit.[1] The German based company had previously been the clubs kit supplier for three years between 2002 and 2005.[2] After having no shirt sponsor for the opening seven matches of the season, on 11 September, the club announced a deal with Asian online gaming and gambling company 777ball.com.[3] However, after playing one match with the sponsor, it emerged that the company did not hold a license to advertise in Europe and their logo was subsequently removed from the Cardiff kit.[4] On 28 September, the club announced a replacement sponsor, signing a two-year deal with betting company SBOBET.[5]

Events

Pre-season

Cardiff City opened their pre-season schedule on 10 July with a match against Chasetown. The match, the first played by the club in the Cardiff City stadium following its opening, ended in a 4–0 victory following goals from Jay Bothroyd, Michael Chopra and first year professionals Josh Magennis and Adam Matthews.[18] After the game the side travelled to Portugal for a two game tour, beginning with a 1–0 victory over Liga de Honra side Fátima on 15 July, the only goal coming from trialist Maroš Klimpl.[19] However, despite scoring, the Slovakian international was told that he would not be offered a permanent deal.[20] The second and final game of the tour ended in a 3–0 win over a President's select XI with Jay Bothroyd (2) and Michael Chopra scoring.[21] After returning to Wales, Cardiff held the official opening of the new stadium by playing Scottish side Celtic, the match ending in a 0–0 draw.[22] Cardiff played out a 0–0 draw with Football League One side Swindon Town before ending their pre-season campaign with a 2–0 defeat to Valencia. A pre-season friendly planned to take place on 5 August against Llanelli was cancelled due to an outbreak of illness among the Cardiff City youth team.[23]

League

The opening day of the season saw Cardiff play Scunthorpe United in the first ever competitive match at the Cardiff City Stadium. Two goals from Michael Chopra and one each for Jay Bothroyd and Peter Whittingham saw Cardiff come away as 4–0 winners, the biggest opening day win for the club since a 4–0 win over Leicester City in August 1951.[24] Due to the increased capacity of the new stadium, it was also the highest attendance figure for the club since 1971.[25] A 1–1 draw with Blackpool and a win at Plymouth Argyle, which saw City's first hat-trick of the season from Michael Chopra and their first sending off with Tony Capaldi, which was followed by a 3–0 win in the first Severnside derby of the season against Bristol City which left Cardiff top of the table on goal difference and saw striker Michael Chopra equal the record set by Hughie Ferguson for the most goals scored in the opening three league matches of the season.[26] However they suffered two consecutive defeats in their following two matches, losing their first game of the season against Doncaster Rovers followed by their first defeat at the Cardiff City Stadium against Newcastle United. They bounced back with 1–0 win over Reading, before suffering consecutive defeats to Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday.[27] Cardiff managed to recover form in their following two matches, thrashing Derby County 6–1 at the Cardiff City Stadium before beating Watford 4–0 with Adam Matthews scoring his first professional goal.[28] The first draw at the Cardiff City Stadium came against Crystal Palace with former Palace skipper Mark Hudson scoring an own goal before returning to winning ways with a 2–0 win over Coventry City with goals from Anthony Gerrard, his first for the club, and Peter Whittingham. Whittingham continued his goalscoring form with the first hattrick of his career in a 4–3 victory over Sheffield United. A 1–1 draw with Nottingham Forest was followed by a 3–2 defeat in the first South Wales derby of the season against Swansea City.[29] Following an international break, Cardiff suffered consecutive defeats against Barnsley and Ipswich Town,[30] dropping them out of the play-off places having claimed just one point from their previous four games. The Bluebirds returned to winning ways with a 1–0 win over Preston North End on 5 December, following with a surprise 2–0 win over West Brom. Chris Burke's fifth goal of the season gives Cardiff their third successive win, the Bluebirds beat Middlesbrough 1–0.[31] However Cardiff's form over the Christmas period dipped after picking up one point in matches against the bottom two sides in the Championship, suffering a late 1–0 defeat to Plymouth Argyle and drawing 4–4 with Peterborough United, having led 4–0 at half time.[32] Cardiff then were held to a 1–1 draw with Blackpool. Whittingham's late equaliser held Scunthorpe United to a 1–1 draw before Cardiff claimed consecutive victories, with a 6–0 victory over Bristol City in the third and final Severnside derby of the season and a 2–1 win over Doncaster Rovers. However, the teams five game unbeaten streak came to an end after a 5–1 defeat to Championship leaders Newcastle United. The Bluebirds quickly bounced back with a 2–0 win over strugglers Peterborough United and then a 1–1 draw with league leaders West Bromwich Albion before suffering their fifth home defeat of the season in a 2–0 loss against Barnsley followed by a 3–0 defeat to Preston North End. After completing a league double over Middlesbrough with Jay Bothroyd scoring the early winner,[33] Cardiff suffered their fourth defeat in five games with a 2–0 defeat to Ipswich Town followed by a 1–0 defeat to Leicester City before beating Coventry City 2–1 and Watford 3–1. Cardiff then missed out on the chance to jump to 4th, Sheffield United held Cardiff to a 1–1 home draw. Cardiff jumped to 4th with wins over Crystal Palace and Leicester City. A Michael Chopra double gave Cardiff a 2–1 victory over Swansea City in the second South Wales derby of the season, denting Swansea's play off hopes but strengthening theirs. Cardiff made it a seven game unbeaten streak with a goalless draw against Nottingham Forest, whilst Newcastle United were also promoted back to the Premier League due to the result.[34] Reading held the Bluebirds to a home goalless draw before Cardiff confirmed a play-off place with a 1–0 win over QPR, where Joe Ledley scored 10 minutes from the end.[35] Cardiff celebrated getting a play-off place by beating relegation battlers Sheffield Wednesday before losing 2–0 to Derby County on the final day of the season after fielding a reserve side.
