[fernandopartridge]

Robins said it was today he went so might get the all clear

He's not been training I assume though so I'd guess he won't be back either way until Barnsley at the earliest but more likely next week?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Just realised, this isn´t going to be on ifollow again is it?

Forcing me to go down the bar to spend money AND get drunk... Again!

Just say 'There's lovely, didn't we' every other sentence, and any strangers will assume your a Cardiff fan. My mum's side of the family are all Welsh, and the Rhondda Valley has been part of my life since I was born. A Welsh 'second cousin?
who was in the army is a big Cardiff fan, and took me to Wales v England at Ninian Park. Hairy wasn't the word!!

Hirsute ??

 

[Liquid Gold]

Any idea where is good to park?


unrhyw syniad ble sy'n dda i barcio?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Hirsute ??

Someone's swallowed a dictionary

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Given the likely conditions. No messing around at the back, get it up to Vik early, with O'Hare and Allen up to support him. Similarly no shortish passes from Moore into players facing their own goal. Out wide, or long. If/when Vik gets knackered, or if we're 2 up with 20mins to go - give Tavares a run (as we'll need Vik for Saturday) Over to you MR.

Just a prediction. Typical Champ game which could go any of 3 ways, just concerned we looked tired at the weekend but be delighted to be proved wrong

Yeah - I get it. I'm a bit of ;more hope than expectation' due to potential conditions and they have a bit more flexibility than us in playing fresh players e.g. Collins, Ikpeazu, Harris, Hugil up front. We have Vik ...then Tavares. We have the quality, just hope the legs hold up and we have a ref who isn't a homer

 

[oakey]

Never any need for homerphobia

Is this one not on iFollow either?

 

[Happy_Martian]

Cardiff aren't the pushover they were when we ripped their static defence apart. Their loan wingback, Drameh, from Leeds has increased their attacking options much more. He's certainly a step up from the previous occupier of that role, Ryan Giles. Quick question, how has Giles got himself a loan to Blackburn ? Didn't we think he would only be League 1 level ?

Our scoring inconsistency will be our undoing tonight.

2-1 Cardiff win with a rare goal from COH to bring a smile, a chuckle or a "WTF" from the travelling supporters.

Nope. Games selected for Sky broadcast don't appear on iFollow, do they ?

Giles got 9 assists in 21 games for Cardiff

Ah bugger, luckily it turns out I forgot to cancel Now TV Sports so should still be able to watch. Seriously considering buying match passes on iFollow next season.

Good luck getting them to put it on, Champions league on BT Sports toinght also.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

any early team news?

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Yeah I was about to say this. The Wolves boss Lage seems to be a big fan of his also and has tipped him to stake a claim next season in Wolves' first team squad.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Loss today, we are threadbare

 

[It’sabatch87]

White or Skyblue kit tonight?
3-1 win for the real CCFC!!
They’ve nothing to play for now they won’t go down we need it more than them.
C’mon you beautiful Skyblues!!

 

[Nick]

Tired players, 2 subs again I reckon.

Allen will be needed alongside Sheaf won't he?

Imagine it will be Maatsen and O'Hare behind Gyok again.

 

[David O'Day]

Giles got 9 assists in 21 games for Cardiff

Drameh has also been awful in his leeds games this season abate mostly at PL level

 

[shmmeee]

So no Hamer, Kelly, Eccles. Sheaf and Allen CM?

Sounds like it’ll be too early for Dabo. Robins comments on Waghorn sounded 50:50.

Id bring Fadz back in unless there’s a good reason not to. Big Rose fan, but not sure about him in the middle of the three.

Moore
Hyam Fadz JCS
Kane Allen Sheaf Bidwell
O’Hare Maatsen
Györkeres

S: Wilson, Dacosta, Rose, Shipley, Jones, Howley, Tavares

 

[Otis]

0-2 Defeat and 'the end of the season' again.

Definitely bring McFadz back in. Hugill and Ikpeazu (off the bench) will likely feature so we'll need the experience and physicality to mitigate that threat.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I know Howley is highly thought of, too early for him still?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Don´t worry, I am in the process of converting my local to CCFC fans (that´s Coventry).

They will have our game on.

It was a long time ago but he wasn't great vs Northampton

Wilson, Rose, Reid, Howley, Shipley, Jones, Tavares​

Really down to bare bones.

Fadz in for that leadership of defence. Rose unlucky to drop out.
Gone for Bidwell's defence qualities, but fear it will stifle us going forward. Otherwise would've gone Maatsen LWB and jones AM (though far more likely to be Shipley that actually would get in)

Reckon we'll lose by a single goal.
