Should be an easy 3 points.

We need to play an effective pressing game and put them under pressure. If Portsmouth and Josh Murphy can do it then so can we.

Can our novice manager and these players do it?

We have to win this.

If we sit off we won't get the points and will probably lose as we don't have the quality to pass through teams and we are defensively weak as well so an error is always there.

Work on effective team press and play a positive side looking to win. Please not Rino and Chambers in the middle again.

Should Fish start.?

Swansea are not very good but unlike Watford they will be trying the whole game.

Ticket sales going better than I thought they would.

We're almost half way through the middle tier of the Ninian Stand.. most of the tickets are £39(incl. booking) a pop too!

Only other tickets available at the moment are a couple of hundred in the family stand and then the premium tickets in the Grandstand.

TBH I am surprised how many tickets we have sold considering our home form is terrible - let's hope we turn up on Saturday like last season :shrug:

Chambers has been our best player by a ruddy mile since he moved into midfield

Should Fish start.?

No

I have no doubt they will play like Brazil 1970 on Saturday then revert to Meh for the rest of the season

Mind you Meh would be an improvement for us

Not optimistic as per usual

Is it true that Darling and cabango are out for them? Or is it just them trying to play mind games….a big loss if so, there away form isn’t great last month or two….

This is always Swansea's cup final game and they will be up for it, NQAT.

I doubt if anyone coming to this game as a ‘one off’ have any regard to our form, league position or even the result.

Except when they’re playing in an actual cup final, and they won one of those in 2013.

If this game is Swansea’s cup final, what game is Cardiff’s cup final?

I expect the Jacks have forgotten that final years ago. It was only against Bradford wasn’t it? I can’t recall. What I do know is that this is very much their cup final. They make it appear that they only exist for this fixture. Our Cup final? Do we have one?

Our cup finals were usually in the cup back in the day, although they weren't finals. I'm talking Man City, Luton, Leeds, Qpr ( when clemo left the safe open overnight...) and Swansea in the league.. :hehe:

Maybe there's been a big uptake in ticket sales cos it might be the last time we play for a while. :getscoat:

Obviously it’s us going up, remember the board have a top 6 finish in mind by the end of the season.

The appointment of Riza just goes to show how convinced they are that we’re still on track, I expect an unbeaten run with 10 wins on the bounce to start from Saturday

That should take us to at least the FA Cup quarter finals as well Ian, things are looking up :thumbup::hehe:

Our cup final is Norwich away on the last day of the season where need a win and a 16 goal swing to stay up. Kanga starts up front.

If Norwich sign him, I think we have a chance

Yeah, it was only against Bradford. They'd beaten Liverpool (at Anfield) and Chelsea (at Stamford Bridge) in the earlier rounds, but it was only Bradford.

I saw my first South Wales derby on New Year's Day in 1980. City's record in league matches against the Jacks since then is:

Played 45, Won 12, Drawn 13, Lost 20, Scored 42, Conceded 65.

Meanwhile, our record against them during the last ten years is:

Played 11, Won 2, Drawn 2, Lost 7, Scored 6, Conceded 18.

Let's hope Swansea don't treat tomorrow as another cup final, as they appear a lot better at winning them than we are.

Liverpool were poor then, and they cheated Chelsea out of it by getting hazard sent off didn’t they?
