FT: BARNSLEY 0 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match Thread

[DannyBluebird]

Barnsley will again be without goalkeeper Sami Radlinger against Cardiff City as the Austrian continues to recover from a muscle strain.

Midfielder Callum Styles (ankle) will also remained sidelined, having missed the past four games.

Cardiff should have full-back Jazz Richards back from illness but Wolves loanee Dion Sanderson looks set to keep his place in the starting XI.

Lee Tomlin (knee) and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (hamstring) are still missing.

• Barnsley have won just one of their past 11 league games against Cardiff (W1 D3 L7), a 4-3 away win in December 2016.
• Cardiff are unbeaten in their past five away league games against Barnsley (W4 D1) since losing 1-0 in November 2009.
• Barnsley are looking for back-to-back home Championship wins in the same season for the first time since August 2017.
• Cardiff are looking to avoid going five Championship games without a win for the first time since September 2016 under Paul Trollope.
• Barnsley are unbeaten in seven league matches in the month of March (W3 D4) since a 2-0 defeat against Millwall in March 2018, then managed by Neil Harris.
• Cardiff are unbeaten in their past 20 league matches against Yorkshire sides (W12 D8), a run stretching back to a 1-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday in April 2017.

Fair do’s, that’s a good stat.

We need to come out of the blocks quickly and cut out those customary early goals we concede.

Fancy this one .

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

Any team news?

[Michael Morris]

Cardiff: Smithies; Sanderson, Morrision (c), Nelson, Bennett; Vaulks, Ralls, Bacuna; Adomah, Paterson, Hoilett

Subs: Etheridge, Flint, Glatzel, Murphy, Pack, Whyte, Smith

[BlueArmy 86]

I want Glatzel to get a run in the team.

2 2

Tykes 1-3 Bloobirds

[life on mars]

That team if playing on form would beat Barnsley easily.

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

I want Glatzel to get a run in the team.

Me too. Paterson has huffed & puffed, without being able to blow down the house in the last few games.

What a bench, crazy why were not in a better place .

[NYCBlue]

I want Glatzel to get a run in the team.

Me too. This is ridiculous.

Yet again, everyone at the club is caught up in magical thinking instead of pragmatism.

[NYCBlue]

Is Ward injured again?

[BlueArmy 86]

Me too. Paterson has huffed & puffed, without being able to blow down the house in the last few games.

The last game he started I know we lost, but I thought he played really well. I feel the goals will follow if he grabs one or two.

Paterson wins headers and chases down. I want more from our single centre forward.

[BlueArmy 86]

Is it on the radio anyway

[dembethewarrior]

I want Glatzel to get a run in the team.

This. Bribing me mad seeing that donkey up top.

2 corners in first 6 minutes

Would be a great chance now to let him play 5 on the trot, at least we know what he has, learned or if hes suited to the English environment of footy ?

[Shute]

Not a great start. A pretty flat opening 15 I think we can all agree. They look a bit quicker than us.

[NYCBlue]

This game is shit already.

[Maurice Swan]

PLEASE vary the long throw to near post.......

[Shute]

Is League 1 football this boring? We must have the slowest front three in the history of this division.

[Maurice Swan]

This as 0-0 all over it......
