morning Bluebirds, If ever there was a time for the Men of Harlech to "stand ye steady" against the Zulu's, this is it. Current form suggests not but this is Cardiff City so anything can happen
It's still wide open - all to play for. Brum are no pushovers and their pitch is like a cabbage patch so it won't be easy. Having said that, they're not that good either, and we can be a lot better than of late. If we turn up and do the biz like earlier in the season, we'll do alright. 3 points is not out of the question, but a third draw in a row for us will not be a disaster.
Nice one musty Starting XI: Marshall McNaughton Hudson Turner Taylor Whitts Cowie Lawrence Gunnar McPhail Mason Subs: Heaton Blake Miller Earnie Rudy
They've had a similar season to us. A lot of upheaval in the summer, lost a few stars, a new manager, etc. They had a good start though sometimes were in mid-table due to the number of games in hand they had. Like us, they seem to have been found out at the sharp end of the season. Could still be there or there abouts, but in a bad run of form. We need Taylor t be defensively sound today. Can't let Burke have the better of him.
I hope to fcuk Lawrence starts on the right. Can't say we haven't got attacking options off the bench!
This is the match between the two out of form contenders so anything could happen. All we can do is hope we perform like earlier in the season and nick a win.
I assume that MM would drop Mason into midfield if we lost a player there. Interesting that Miller is fit but MAson gets the nod.
i would be very surprised if we get 3 points from this with the same line up that has basically hit a brick wall in the past weeks please log in to view this image
Probably because Mason is more likely to get a goal at the moment. Have to go out for a while...........but I'll be back as soon as.
I was due to be out with daughter and her horse today. (Un)-fortunately, he was munching on some hawthorne hedge yesterday and his mouth is all swollen so the visit to the gallops has been cancelled! c'mon city!!

Me too Siam. Have us down to lose this one but would love to be wrong. We seem to have the edge so far, but need a goal to settle the nerves.
Yep, not a bad start. We still seem to lack that little something. Hopefully hardwork will see us through today!
Sounds like some good passing play but peters out in the final third at the moment. McPhail and Whitts seem to be getting a lot of the ball.
We are doing most things right today, just need to find a goal for all our pressure. Miller to bag the winner
The longer this goes on at 0-0 the more our nerves will grow. It sounds as if things are going our way, just need to keep playing the game and not try to force the issue. Burke is quiet. Hope it stays that way!
