Perhaps our biggest opponent will be the weather. Going to he very wet and windy. Bound to be an awful game with mistakes galore(nothing new there did I hear you say?).
Another game for City to stand up and be counted.
Wigan will be no pushover. Recent away form better than home. Beat Weeds last time out, although if the Jack's can beat them, so can we.
Would a postponement suit us? If other results go for us, a home game in hand may be a bit of an advantage. I don’t fancy a farce of a match in shocking conditions (Rather selfishly I also don’t want to get wet & blown to smithereens before & after the game)
I want to say the same team but given the short rest changes will happen.
Smithies
Richards
Morrison
Nelson
Bennett
Pack
Vaulks
Bacuna
Tomlin
Paterson

I'd be very surprised if game called off.Quote:

If it isn’t called off in advance- and it would be sensible to do so - it could well get abandoned for player and public safety.Quote:

Match facts
- Cardiff have won two of their last 15 league games against Wigan (W2 D6 L7), winning both games in the 2014-15 season.
- This will be Wigan's first away league visit to Cardiff since October 2016, winning 1-0 via a Jordi Gomez goal.
- Cardiff are unbeaten in all nine home games under Neil Harris in all competitions (W3 D6), with their last home defeat coming in Neil Warnock's last game in charge against Bristol City.
- Wigan have won two of their last three away Championship games (L1), one more than they'd won in their previous 34 away league games (W1 D9 L24).
- Cardiff's Lee Tomlin has more goals (7) and assists (7) than any of his team-mates in the Championship this season.
Neil Harris:
'It’s the same Wigan team that won at Leeds last week.
'I went to the game on Tuesday evening to watch them against Middlesbrough and they put in a fine display until the red card.
'They’ve got individual players who can cause you problems, but we focus on ourselves.'
Being selfish, I'd welcome a postponement because I can't make it today - it's a bit early to ask yet, but anyone know if the game's being streamed?Quote:

The weather hasn’t been a problem this morning, just another wet Saturday but it’s forecast to go up a notch through the day, a few notches in fact. If it does go ahead, if what’s being forecast is spot on, let’s hope the game doesn’t become a farce.Quote:

Cardiff weather usually follows ours.
Been bucketing down all morning up here.
Pi$$ing down in St Mellons, not too windy.
Cardiff (CCS) just tweeted that there's NO inspection planned, game on, bring your coats
Will be a bit of a lottery with wind and rain, I was hoping it would be postponed !Quote:
