The 2021-22 campaign was a season of intense turmoil and ultimate survival for Cardiff City as The Bluebirds finished 18th in the Championship, clinging onto their second-tier status. The year was defined by a turbulent managerial change, Mick McCarthy was sacked after an eight-match losing streak, making way for Steve Morison. Amidst the chaos, the unlikely hero was centre-back Aden Flint, whose crucial 6 league goals, including memorable braces against Millwall and Peterborough United, proved decisive in steering the club away from the relegation zone. It was a stressful but vital year that marked a desperate, successful fight to secure their Championship status.
