Match Day Thread Cardiff City v Swansea City, Fug Me...Three Points Up For Grabs!

No Gary Madine for this one, attack could be a bit threadbare because of this....good timing for the Swans eh? Lee Trundle has been on asking about the price of avocados in the Capital...wouldn’t tell him as he has not been kind to us in the past! Now he knew the way to goal, had a lifelong ambition to play for the Bluebirds, but we had Warren Feeney, so no contest...just saying! Favourite players Ivor Allchurch, Mel and John Charles came out of Swansea...as did Alan Tate! Big game this for Masky 3-1 home win!

 

The winner will probably who is the less crap.

2 poor sides shows how bad this seasons Championship is with them in the play offs and us in touch.

Even though he wont be match fit Ralls if available will be a massive improvement even if 60 per cent fit. Wed still have to pick one of Pack Bacuna or Vaulks though.

No decent striking options. Probably go Ward but im sure Glatzel will play

Sol is clearly nowhere near fit enough so a return to Morrison and Bamba is unlikely.

If all fit id go Etheridge peltier Flint Morrison Bennett Whyte Ralls Pack Tomlin Ward Hoillet.

 

a non event these days>>>>>shame really because a derby should be a great occasion.

only one true derby left>>>>>>>>>the blue and green of Glasgow

 

I think the Manchester and Liverpool clubs might have something to say about that.

 

El plastico im sorry is a complete joke.

2 franchises going head to head.

 

What’s the recurring theme here eh

Sunday 12 noon Sky Reading 3 City 0
Sunday 12 noon Sky JB’s 1 City 0
Sunday 12 noon Sky City 0 Wurzels 0

 

Ssshhhhhh!!!

Wasnt it us 0 Wurzels 1?

Time for a change then.

 

Draw on the cards for me, a very boring 1-1 sorry, two poor teams, enough said................

 

Cardiff look set to be without Joe Ralls for Sunday's south Wales derby against Swansea.

Ralls has returned to training after breaking his hand at Leeds last month, but his return might be delayed until the midweek FA Cup replay at Carlisle.

Loan pair Rhian Brewster and Marc Guehi will be in the Swansea squad and could be set for debuts after loan moves from Liverpool and Chelsea respectively. Alan Tate could have a nightmare again!

Swans will assess defender Mike van der Hoorn (knee) who is a doubt.

If van der Hoorn is unavailable, Guehi would compete for a starting spot with youngsters Ben Cabango and Ben Wilmott as Joe Rodon remains sidelined with a long-term ankle issue.

Goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, midfielder Matt Grimes and playmaker Bersant Celina are among the Swans set to be recalled following their 5-1 FA Cup defeat at QPR.

Aden Flint, Marlon Pack, Lee Tomlin and Robert Glatzel should return at the Cardiff City Stadium after being rested for the Bluebirds' FA Cup draw with Carlisle.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Isaac Vassell and Matthew Connolly remain on the long-term casualty list while Armand Traore, Brian Murphy and Gary Madine have been released by the Bluebirds.

Match facts

• Cardiff are set to host rivals Swansea in a league match for the first time since November 2013, when they won 1-0 in the Premier League.
• This is the 29th Football League season in which Cardiff and Swansea have met, but the Swans have never previously completed a league double over their rivals; they won 1-0 in the reverse fixture in October.
• Cardiff's 1-6 defeat away to QPR was the first time they had conceded six or more goals in a league game outside of the top-flight since April 2009 vs Preston (0-6). Cardiff have not lost consecutive league games since May 2019 (three in a row).
• Swansea have lost two of their last three away league games (W1), after going 11 unbeaten on the road beforehand (W5, D6).
• Defender Aden Flint has had a hand in more home league goals for Cardiff this season than any other player (three goals, three assists).
• Swansea's Andre Ayew has been directly involved in eight away league goals this season (five goals, three assists), more than double that of any other player at the club.

 

Yes of course my error
Lets hope you are right

 

Not a bad starting 11 but for me this is the team to beat the Scumsea Jack's tomorrow.

Smithies, Peltier, Nelson,Flint,Richard's Hoilett,Patterson,Pack Tomlin,Ward, Glatziel.

 

Morrison and nelson start at the back. Smithies in goal.

I smell a full-blooded, passionate, but low quality 0-0 draw here.

 

Think I'd settle for that right now.

 

So would I, it keeps Swansea within our grasp and your mob way below us

 

Listing on the radio.
Full blooded- tick
Passionate- tick

Nil-nil but far from low on quality.

Sounds a good game.

 

What a pair of **** teams, didn't see one serious footballer on the pitch, the most painful game ever, utter dross!..............

 

That Steve Cooper just made a complete idiot of himself on the radio saying he’s disappointed they didn’t win the game and blamed the grass for being too long.

I’d have taken nil nil at 12 o’clock and even though we had a great chance to win it second-half I don’t really care because we didn’t lose

 

Called it!!

 

Poor game. Both sides have no threat up front. Brewster and Glatzel both no threat at all. Swansea lightweight. Us relying far too much on the physical stuff.

Our defence was much better today but that may have a lot to do with their attack.

No idea why Baston didnt replace Brewster he looked completely lost.
