Cardiff City have two players in the premiership worst XI

Assembled from whoscored.com's stats, Kim Bo Kyung and Declan John are two of the worst players for their position in the league. Kim is highlighted as a jack of all trade, but master of none'. Declan John is statistically the worst left back in the league, guilty of defensive mistakes and a very poor offensive record. But guess who the second worst back in the league is? Taylor.

Personally, I see this as a case of somewhat misleading stats. I would highlight faces such as Craig Bellamy as having been more of a flop this season than Declan John, and KTC is also very dodgy at this level.

Only players that have played ten games for their current team count, by the way. Fabio can count himself lucky...

You don't say.........  

Cheap shot TDA, cheap shot

But seriously, I think calling a kid as young as Declan John the worst fullback in the league is a little unfair. He's risen to the first team just as we've been on our toughest run, and Zahas presence on the left has limited Johns own ability to get forward.

Yup, stats don't account for context. You could easily make a case for saying that Marshall was one of the worst keepers in the league given how many he has conceded but we all know that without him it would be a lot, lot worse...
