In the build up to our game and after the comments re our recent managerial appointment etc.
It's not exactly a secret that man management forms the bedrock of the Yorkshireman's methods, but few would have tipped McCarthy's impact at the club to have been this significant.
Indeed, many fans might well have been busy frantically deleting a few social media posts over the last few days.
Let's not forget, a sizeable portion of the City following wrote McCarthy off as a footballing dinosaur before he'd even passed through the door at the Cardiff City Stadium.
When he was unveiled, the man himself admitted he was, in the eyes of many, at the bottom of a "long list" of preferred options.
But just like fellow Yorkshireman Neil Warnock, proving the critics wrong has always been a favourite past-time for the 62-year-old.
And, while it's not quite the same brand of street fighting direct football that underpinned Warnock's successful stint in South Wales, Cardiff are at least making life deeply uncomfortable for opponents again.

Also a rare interview with their owner.
