Pre-match facts

• Six of the last nine league meetings between Cardiff and Blackburn have ended as a draw, including a goalless draw earlier this season.
• Blackburn are looking to win consecutive away league matches against Cardiff for the first time since April 1985 (four in a row).
• Cardiff conceded as many goals in their 0-5 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday last time out as they had in their previous 10 league matches combined.
• Blackburn are winless in their last six league games, the longest current such run in the Championship.
• Only Emiliano Buendía (15) has more assists in the Championship this season than Blackburn’s Harvey Elliott (10).

Looking like a draw then.
The team will be interesting. Will there be changes, will any youngsters start? Hope so.

I don’t - whilst there is a slim chance of the playoffs, we need to play our strongest side.

I agree.
Until it's impossible we should aim for the play offs

But what is our strongest side? Without Morrison our defence is all over the place, midfield not functioning and attack with Moore knackered is toothless. I really think time to go plan b.

What our manager seems to deem our strongest side just got pumped 5-0 by Sheffield Wednesday

We need to pick up 8 more points than Reading over the course of 6 six games to make the playoffs, it ain't happening.

Are you counting Bournemouth out of the equation?

If I was a fan of another club I’d probably say, win tomorrow and it’s 5 and you still have to play them yet.

Better than Reading and hope Bournemouth collapse of course

The gap is far too big

Bacuna injured or Mick disillusioned after last time out?

Ng as LWB and Sang as RWB?
