FT: BARNSLEY 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Rjk]

Barnsley will be up for this, if they have any chance of staying up they need to be winning this kind of game at home.
I don't think it'll be pretty but hope we can come away with a win

[Dorcus]

I felt the same regarding Sang. Perhaps the thinking was that with Bowen close to a 1st Team squad return, the risk of letting Sang go was worth it?

Yes that makes some sense, I hope you're right. Why oh why didn't he put Pack and Vaulks out on loan instead? Yes, I know, who would be daft enough to take them?

[Dorcus]

He scores the odd worldie as well, I like him

Good for you.

[The Lone Gunman]

Fans of most teams we are about to play probably think we were/are a terrible side.

Until Saturday, they'd have been right. Statistically, City are one of the three worst teams in the division and many of their performances have been truly abysmal. Had it not been for points deductions at Derby and Reading, the Bluebirds would have been entrenched in the relegation zone for several months.

However, Barnsley are very definitely the worst side in the division, and by some margin. No doubt about that. As bad as City have been this season, they have almost twice as many points on the board as Barnsley, which speaks volumes. Whichever way you look at it, they are rubbish.

I wonder if they'd like Ishmael back

[Former Labour leader]

Will not be disappointed with a draw. But hopefully we have enough to sneak a win.
1-2

[life on mars]

City play with the same zip as Sunday they win .

[MacAdder]

Looks like Vaulks in for Ralls.

Shame the latter is out as he had his best game in quite a while against Forest.

I'm going for a City win by a score of 1-2.

Cmon the City!!

[bluebirds17]

I'm hoping that having two decent ball playing midfielders alongside him will help Vaulks.

Shame Ralls is out as he had such a good game on Sunday.

Still baffled why Colwill isn't at least amongst the substitutes.

[Sloop_Jon_Bee]

Yes. I'd be quite happy to play the youngsters up there. Give them the experience of playing at Anfield, give them a free hit to have a go at Liverpool. The positive impact it would have, even if they got battered, would be immense.

Spot on Eric.

[Alfresco]

We get a Good game under our belt then the footballing gods deliver a a lightning strike that takes out a key player. Hopefully the footballing gods will strike Vaulks and he'll turn into a footballer. 1 - 1

[Joe Gillis]

He scores the odd worldie as well, I like him

What do you like about him? He can't pass, can't tackle, picks up stupid yellow cards and stupid red ones, he's petulant, the game goes on around him, he runs around a lot which is enough for some, his most dramatic moments involve drying the ball.
Let's hope that tonight he has his one good game in 20, fingers crossed.

[City123]

3 strikers on the bench?

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Shame about Ralls. Other than that, pleased to see it unchanged.

It was my calendar, keep forgetting to turn the city notifications off can't remember how and why I'd even have them!!

Does this explain the "radio silence" on Cardiff City TV or is it just my PC connection that's duff?

[Hilts]

On a positive Derby man sent off already.

Great - just got this message on City TV:

HLS error. Details: `fragLoadError`. Is attempting to recover: `true`.

Second time I have been unable to get the live commentary in 2 weeks. Shambles.

[Maurice Swan]

no streams working tonight it seems.

Would be happy to pay my tenner IF club TV worked. Last twice I paid and had no stream...just two circles revolving in opposite directions. Requests for refunds have gone unanswered.

Barnsley commentry, I always enjoy listening to opposing stream, provides a different perspective, and can be smug when/if we score

[City123]
