Cardiff: 10 Incredible Stats You Won't Believe From The Malky Mackay Era

9. Drawing A Blank

Cardiff City have failed to score on eight occasions this season in all competitions. Breaking that stat down, they have not got a goal in more than a third of home games (3/8) and on almost half their away trips (5/11).
