Ex Bluebird Nathan Blake believes that if the club is to form a solid footing and push on next season it must back a manager and stop the managerial merry-go-round.
Lamouchi's tenure has not been perfect, but it is hoped he can guide Cardiff to safety. He is the third man to have a crack in the Cardiff dugout this season and each of them have found it a struggle.

But Blake believes the lack of continuity and singular plan will continue to hamstring Cardiff unless they place their faith in a manager to carry out a long-term strategy.
NATHAN BLAKE:
"I think the difficulty is, it's not just the squad, it's the manager," Blake told the BBC. "Lamouchi has done a decent job, but I keep saying the constant switching of managers, I don't know how they expect to get results or success. It's just not done that way. The only team I know to have switched managers more and got success is Chelsea! And that's gone pear-shaped.
"You have to look at the players, they are accountable for the results with the manager. But if upstairs is a mess it tends to drift down into the team and that lack of confidence has been shown for so long.
"But I have to say, it's been topsy-turvy with Lamouchi, but results have come at the right time to get themselves out of the mire when it's most needed. It'll go until the end of the season. But two positive results in the next two games will get them over the line."
