Winning to nil has been something of a novelty for Cardiff, but their Premier League season so far has been no different to the promotion campaign in this respect. Mackay has managed victories without the other side scoring just three times in all competitions. One of those was in the League Cup at lowly Accrington and the other two have come in home league games against bitter
South Wales rivals Swansea and West Bromwich Albion. Taking three points or advancing in cup competitions without conceding has happened to the Bluebirds on just nine occasions since last Christmas. This inability to keep clean sheets has rather denied Cardiff and Mackay any momentum in the Premier League hence why they are sixth bottom and averaging just a point per game. A four-match unbeaten run is the best they can boast in 2013-14 so far. Stuttering like this was also a hallmark of their run-in en route to the Championship title. Mackay tasted just a single win in his last seven second tier matches at the end of last term. The other six were draws, but were enough to first get the Bluebirds promoted and then as champions.
