Match Thread Cardiff City - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 1st Jan (13 Viewers)

I'm a fan of King. I like a lot the ambition he has for our Club.
He has largely put the money where his mouth is & I think been part of the process which has provided
a better stadium for match day and presided over record average attendances.
He reminds me of the Forest owner although unfortunately nowhere near as wealthy.
Look where Forest are now !

Forest owner is nuts.

He just likes to exaggerate when defending his hero!

Don't make me put you on ignore!

Your lack of reading comprehension isn’t my issue. I said we had one of the best scouting setups under Badlan. You as always were too thick to understand and got the wrong end of the stick. You are now too stupid to have your mistake explained and like a pigeon playing chess are strutting about like you’ve won something.

Find the post. I don't remember you specifically talking about scouting only

This has gone nuclear!

Inside joke

Actually not that inside lol

Always take a point away from home but in view of losing a win and a draw I think we need to win this. Also I'd start with Simms as some of our wing play on Saturday would of benefitted him. So 2-1 Torp and Simms to score

It's a must win for me, you look at our remaining fixtures and we don't have much room for slip ups against side like this if we want to get >70 points.

We aren’t getting anywhere near that points tally

ok scrooge

It does seem pretty unlikely and I am an optimist in general. It's hard to imagine we'll get 42+ point in our remaining 22 games, 12 wins and 6 draws? More likely the other way around. Some say they are seeing improvements since Lampard came in but I would say they were subtle if they exist. Maybe we will have a sudden upsurge?

70pts !! You on it already

Until Lampard our only wins were mainly down to Wright. Now he and his replacement are injured i can’t see it as realistic at all

3 wins in 7 vs I think someone said 4 wins in 20? Players like EMC and Rudoni look instantly better. 3 clean sheets now too.
The improvements are there, I'm fairly happy with what I'm seeing and looking forward to the window as i think he'll be backed to some extent.

just picked that out because that's typically the tally needed to get playoffs

basically, unless we pick up form now it's season over.

Scouting and coaching. We had outperformed any CCFC side in thirty years. There was no sense in ripping it up. Look you’re clearly not here for a sensible conversation just trying to do the mini Grendel thing so I’m not going to engage any more.

You are the one who makes up nonsense

We didn’t outperform previous sides you clown

Hahahaha what a cop out. Those with agenda's always get found out by me. I see right through you

And onto mute you go. When you’re not trying to be someone else you can be a decent poster.

I could say same for you when your not emotional . I won't put you on mute though as that's just silly. Hopefully speak to you again one day

No point making a new thread for this and it's wildly off topic, but why are Solihull Moors playing at 3pm today? really odd

Because it's on TV .

I'm absolutely baffled by what those numbers relate to. Robins also won 3 of his last 7 against (on paper) better opposition. Is it lampard's record at Chelsea? If so, yes he is doing better here.

Two more injury doubts emerge

Two more injury doubts have emerged ahead of the New Year's Day clash with Coventry City.

Cardiff's rehabilitation room is stocked full at the moment. Joe Ralls, Perry Ng, Aaron Ramsey, David Turnbull, Isaak Davies, Kion Etete, Michael Reindorf and Ryotaro Tsunoda are all unfit, while Jamilu Collins appears to have been frozen out of contention.

Now Omer Riza has two more to contend with, with Callum O'Dowda and Chris Willock both leaving the pitch at Vicarage Road with injuries and they now face a race to be fit for the Coventry fixture.

Robinson explains poignant moment with Riza and two new injury doubts emerge

I wouldnt be setting off just yet if anyone is there the night before

Potentially in doubt due to tomorrow's storm, games will be cancelled alongside the New Year festivities and racing thats fallen by the wayside

Expect them to make a decision today

 

[peteCCFC]

I think we would have struggled to play him in v Millwall. They were so well organised. Okay very defensive but did their job. Their No 6 was superb. Pushed a high line but knew when and how to drop deep as soon as ball was played.

Being an ex centre half I love these battles. Too many fans just want shots and goals rather than good football. So many fans saying it was boring. No it wasn't, it was intriguing tactically, with some great defending by both sides.

Latibeaudiere was flawless and made a couple of passes Sheaf would of been happy to dine out on.

100% this. I was a centre half and love defenders. Some of the stuff we've had to watch this year was horrible and put me off going.

Isn't it the north getting hit the worst?

I know it's forecast windy but not I the scale of what we had a few weeks back.

What's it like getting to Cardiff anyway? May wake up tomorrow and make a decision!

Given the injuries and the upcoming transfer window, I'm ok with this. Big up the storm.
