I’m going for Vaulks sent off before half time

Colin will tell his players to wind him up, such an easy target

Re: CARDIFF CITY v MIDDLESBROUGH. Match thread

I have no cause for optimism but even the law of averages must lean towards at least a point?

Re: CARDIFF CITY v MIDDLESBROUGH. Match thread

Yes, my feeling is we will scrape a point. Warnock will be happy with that after a long week and tiring journey.
1-1

He's so reckless at times, I think there's a high possibility of him being targetted, as you said.

Match facts

• Cardiff City are unbeaten in their last six league games against Middlesbrough (W4 D2) since losing 3-1 back in February 2016 under Russell Slade.
• Middlesbrough are winless in four away league matches against Cardiff (D1 L3) since a 1-0 win in 2014-15 and have only scored once in those four winless games.
• Cardiff have lost their last five home matches in all competitions, their worst losing run since October 1974, which was also a run of five. The Bluebirds have never lost six consecutive home matches in a row.
• Middlesbrough have failed to score in four of their last five away Championship matches (W1 D1 L3), winning the other 2-0 at Nottingham Forest. They haven’t failed to score in three consecutive away Championship matches since January 2015.
• In five away league matches at the Cardiff City Stadium, current Middlesbrough manager Neil Warnock is winless (D4 L1), with only Gary Rowett and Nigel Clough (six each) managing more there as an away manager without winning.

Eli King and Isaak Davies on the bench, think we’ve got a few injuries, but Moore is one of the subs.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v MIDDLESBROUGH. Match thread

We must be one of the few teams where injuries can make us stronger.

It'll be interesting to see how Brown does at left back. Hopefully better than he does at left centre back or wing back.

What position does King play?

Mick is playing the players that he likes for a last hurrah. Our injuries must be concerning though. Would bet Isaak Davies gets game time

Brown is back in the starting eleven. Good grief.
