Cardiff City Ladies FC 2007-08 Season

National Premier League: 11th (relegated)
League Cup: 1st round; Arsenal h. 0-4
FA Cup: 6th round; Leeds United h. 1-5

Highlight:
3-2 win at Leeds United

Low Spot:
0-6 defeat at Blackburn Rovers on the opening day.

Good:
Loren Dykes
Dykes is a clever, skillful ball player whose abilities were not shown to advantage in a struggling side but caught the eye nonetheless. Quick and an adept dribbler Dykes is capable of making a name for herself at the top level despite her clubs‘ relegation.
Rhian Nokes
The strain looked to be telling on Cardiff’s over worked keeper by the end of the season but she was still a pillar of strength for the most part. Big, imposing and a good shot stopper she has been outstanding for Cardiff in both their seasons in the top flight.

In Brief:
Having survived by the skin of their teeth last season Cardiff were always likely to struggle having lost two of their best players in Jess Fishlock and Gwennan Harries. So it proved. Other than against Charlton they failed to win a league game until an unlikely triumph at Leeds in their final game but by then it was too late anyway.
There are still talented players at the club but an immediate return will not be easily achieved even if the current squad is kept intact.
