Match Thread Cardiff City - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 1st Jan (11 Viewers)

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Think that most pubs in the city centre are fairly pro most teams. They get a little angst for their big games like Bristol & Cardiff.
The Great Western that is on the right of the main entrance by about 50m can be quite popular.
However it has been trashed by away fans before.
I might be a little optimistic, but if you drink closer to the city centre- you should be happy days. You have to walk through some areas similar to places you have to get through on the way to Highfield rd.
Basically - just drink by the station, rather than on the way to the ground.

…I think @stupot07 may have meant in Coventry?

Postponement would really suit us wouldn’t it.

Last time it gave us a first place finish

Is there anywhere to park at the CBS for the Cardiff coaches.?

Should be plenty of space today.

Hopefully doesn't affect fans travel (nearer Swansea), but a heads up (just flashed up on my laptop)

Live updates as M4 closed with police at 'serious incident'

Police and traffic officers have been sent to the scene in Swansea between junction 47 and junction 46

Rough as f*** but off we go. 3 pts please

 

[Hercules]

Should be plenty of space today.

But where?

 

[covmutley]

Don't use the bridges. Come off M5 at J8 onto M50 then follow your Sat Navs down to Wye Valley joining the M4 at Newport.
I live in the area so please trust me

M50 currently showing as closed before ross-on-wye on my Google maps.

2nd crossing seems open

Weather is absolutely miserable. Expecting a poor game decided by one goal.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Be good to start the year off with a win here but I’ll go for a 1-1

Weather is absolutely miserable. Expecting a poor game decided by one goal.

The only question is, which one of our back four loses their man for that one goal?

 

[PVA]

I'm going for another 2-2. Rudoni and Simms to score

 

[Skybluekyle]

Morning all. Hope everyone had a nice New Years, now it's time for 3 sweet away points!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Infact just seen Cardiff haven’t kept a clean sheet in 11 games.

1-0 Cardiff

 

[Frostie]

As poor as they are, a draw would be an ok result away from home in these conditions. I just want to see some signs of improvement.

 

[skybluegod]

2-0 win. Then a loss at Norwich is my feeling.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Safe travels

 

[Gibbo]

Another nil - nil...for my first away game of the season grrrrr

2 clean sheets on the bounce, have faith!

The defender who is worst at swimming, I reckon.

 

[PVA]

Cardiff will have seen how Millwall sat in a low block and how we totally struggled to break them down.

If they see a point as a good result then we might see a similar game to Millwall. If they have a bit of a go at us, and being at home you'd imagine they will, then we might be able to find a bit more space.

Surely we'll see Simms start this one.

Any recommendations for pubs in the city centre showing the game tomorrow that I can take a 14 year old in?

Not really a pub but I’ve watched a couple of games in the HMV empire, think they’re showing it. Allows kids and has beer.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

In likely awful conditions, the side who can get the ball into the opposition's half/penalty area is likely to win. Need to play 2 up top imo and get Simms/The Hound, running at them. Love some aort of result today. Shout out to those travelling. See you at Naaarwich.

We've just stopped for a break in Monmouth, m50 was open but sections were flooded

 

[Boicey]

Probably a loss today. No real cutting edge and still have a defensive mistake in us.
Simms needs more game time.

I guess FL would be happy with a draw. He didn't seem that bothered about dropping 2 points against Millwall tbh.
So I imagine the same team and a defensive setup. More boredom.

Happy New Year

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

1-1 with the usual suspects falling over themselves to tell us all how great it was

Sorry only just woken up so didn’t see that . If the bridges are open then use one of them but if M50 is open it’s definitely the best route.

 

[Nick]

What channel is it on?

Sky Sports +

 

[fatso]

2 up front please,
And I think Sakamoto should sit this one out as he's been ineffective for a while now, especially away from home, so I think we'll be more narrow and direct than usual. (Not long ball, just moving it forward faster)

None of this backwards, backwards, and sideways shit please Frank, let's be positive and go for it from the off.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Nothing less than a 4 nil win surely?

Being as they're in the bottom 3 and we have a top 6 deck

 

[Evo1883]

1st away day for over a month for me , God I've missed away days come on city PUSB

 

[ptr]

Cliche but got to battle today if we want anything. And just a warning before anyone cries about it, the football we play is going to be far from pretty! Not in this weather. Couldn’t care less if we win though.

Yeah spot on, it’s what we didn’t do at all at Pompey, got to win the battle before you can start playing
