CARDIFF CITY 0 - 2 PRESTON NORTH END. Match thread

[splott parker]

It’s an omen, I tell you, an omen

[Eric the Half a Bee]

This will be the 103rd fixture between Cardiff City and Preston. When we play Bristol City later in the season they'll move to 102 fixtures between us. Overall we've managed 40 wins to their 37, scoring 135 goals, conceding 177.

Our home record against Preston is reasonable. While we have 24 wins, 15 draws and 12 defeats (24 home wins is the most against any side, but due to the amount of times we have played them), our home win percentage is ranked 24th of the 50 sides we have played at least 50 times. It may also be no surprise, again due to the number of fixtures between the two, that we have scored more at home to Preston than any other side, but also conceded more to them at home than anyone else.

In Cardiff there have been a total of 137 goals scored in 51 matches. In Preston that reads 175 goals in 51 games.

While Preston's goalscoring exploits at Deepdale are well known, they've only scored 3 or more in 7 away games. They have managed 3 or more in 20 home games against us...

Our biggest win against Preston is a 6-2 win at Deepdale, and two 4-0 home successes, once under the reign of Jimmy Scoular and the other under the management of Mick McCarthy. They've also won 4-0 twice in Cardiff, most recently in 2000.

Len Ashurst is the only Cardiff manager with a 100% home record against Preston from more than 1 match. Jimmy Scoular won 6 out of the 8 home games he managed against them. The boring tit award goes to Steve Morison for helping to provide two successive 0-0 draws in the league, two of the most mindnumbingly boring football matches I have ever suffered.

So two undefeated games, although they were no score draws, are boring are they. Not conceding in two games is brilliant form. So called fans knocking our beloved club whose management can do no wrong are ‘fans ‘ we don’t need!!!!
