Cardiff City have enjoyed a major resurgence since the arrival of Neil Warnock and if you had any doubts about the effect he has had, this statistic will prove it.
Cardiff manager Neil Warnock
Their 3-1 victory over Ipswich Town at the Cardiff City Stadium not only secured a vital three points to all but confirm their safety in the Championship, but marked the fifth time they have won a match after falling behind this season. No other team can match this statistic, with Fulham and Nottingham Forest next in line having achieved this feat four times this season.
Warnock has been in charge in four of these five games and he will be delighted to see his team showcase such resilience in a league renowned for it’s competitiveness.
As pointed out by Wales Online, Cardiff have scored six of the 14 goals netted in these comeback wins in the last 15 minutes of the game. The transformation of the Bluebirds under Warnock has been clear for all to see, and their current form is a far cry from when he took over.
He inherited a squad left sitting second bottom in the table by outgoing boss Paul Trollope in October. He has guided Cardiff to 13th and with largely the same group of players he had at his disposal when he first arrived.

Often outspoken, Warnock has been praised for his simplistic and humble approach to management that has been implemented in South Wales.
Before their Championship clash with Derby County in February, Warnock made his team train in a public park close to Pride Park Stadium. Cardiff went on to secure another one of their comeback wins that night in an exhilarating 4-3 victory.
Warnock recently told BBC Sport, that his players “don’t know how good they can be.”
He said: “I don’t think they realise yet how good they can be. It is amazing what you can do really – this is why I am in football so long, to get the best out of what you have is fantastic.
“We played against the teams who have spent millions and yet we compete with them. That is what its all about.”
