Cardiff have had a tough run of fixtures but then we are supposed to be tough!

They are there for the taking. But they will no doubt come with a game plan and set ther stall out, and we have to make them play at our tempo which should be high paced with one and two touch passing movements. Whether it be through their defence, over their defence or round their defence. Nevertheless we have to be ruthless and I mean ruthless, that is what successful teams are, take no prisoners and never give a sucker an even break.

Be prepared for a tough boring game with them parking the bus and employing five men across the back and us finding it so difficult to get that opening goal.

They've scored only one goal during this six-match losing streak.

We all know what's coming on Wednesday.

I fear for us at set pieces, as they have Flint, Morrison and Moore, all potent in the air. Really hope Rodak is in goal again. I wonder if we will have Chalobah instead of perhaps Reed to offer more height. As ever, the key is to get an early goal.

As has been said about a Fulhamish....I could not handle one of them...they have conceded 22 goals....we have scored 27.... :022:

Silva needs to keep playing the winning team. 'chopping and changing' i some of the reason why we've had a poor run. Chalobah hasn't been great.

I trust that Huddlestone isn't playing for them.

I do think this would be a good game to bring in Mawson though.

Agree with this, Ream has lot over half of his aerial duals this season. I would play Mawson for this as it would suit him more than Ream. That's not a dog at ream either, just Mawson is better in the air

David Prutton has us down for a 3-0 win too. Its looking ominous.

King Kenny is fit according to Silva so that improves our chances somewhat

So what we're saying is that we can expect a 3-1 victory for Cardiff, whilst we cave to the pressure and slip on the banana skin, and we waste a boatload of chances early on to run away with it and end up being done over.

I'll start prepping now.

If he's fit enough to start that would be great news. Not knocking Odoi but Tete is clearly our number one in that position.

Apparently not fit enough for 90 mins so I think he'll be on the bench as you don't want to be subbing your RB at 60 mins if you can avoid it.

Yep - Fulhamish. I just hope we score first!

We just put 4 past a good side who were in the top 6 before the game. Next up, home against a team that's lost 6 in a row, sitting in 20th spot, conceding 13 and scoring one goal in their last 4 games.... clearly we are doomed.

Seriously, we have reason to be fearful. No game is easy and Cardiff will be determined to stop us scoring. Their goal drought cannot last for ever .....  Can we stop being Fulhamish and put them to the sword?  COYW !

We might have put four past QPR, who are a better team than Cardiff, but Cardiff would appear to play a totally different style. Any complacency or lack of competitiveness will see us fall even further behind Bournemouth and WBA! That's what is makes the Championship so compelling- everyone can beat anyone.

Never read so much negativity. I reckon a minimum two goal victory for us tonight.

Post by: Woolly Mammoth on October 20, 2021, 04:50:20 PM
An early goal will settle us down and then build on it and keep it ticking over. We just must not let them off the hook, take no prisoners.

I expect Mitro to be kicked all over the pitch.
