Yep, squeaky bum time.
No score forecast from me. Anything can happen, but usually a Jacks win. That would be a disaster for us.
Fingers very tightly crossed.

More than that we really need to press their defence and him high up the pitch but plenty of crosses into the box for sure.Quote:

- Cardiff's Sabri Lamouchi is looking to become only the third Bluebirds manager this century to win his first league match against Swansea - the others are Malky Mackay (1-0 in November 2013) and Mick McCarthy (1-0 in March 2021).
- Swansea City have had the most build-up attacks (141) and sequences of 10 or more open play passes (668) in the Championship this season. Indeed, it is over 100 more buildup attacks than opponents Cardiff have managed (39) and 472 more sequences of 10+ open play passes than the Bluebirds (196).
- Only Burnley (13) have scored more goals from outside the box in the Championship than Cardiff this season (10), with 47.8% of the shots attempted by the Bluebirds coming from outside the box (211/441), the highest percentage by a team in a Championship season since Derby in 2018-19 (48.1%, excl. play-offs).
Anyone think Ralls will start?
He's giving me the impression he is going to start, watching the preview on YouTube.
Perhaps he will start in place of O’Dowda who will probably make the bench.Quote:

I just hope he doesn'tQuote:

I really think McGuinness would respond well to being given the captaincy. For some the position is a burden, others thrive on it, I think McGuinness would be the latter.Quote:

He's never going to be a defensive maestro with skill on the ball, but he does what needs doing.. defending.
Give it to him, hope it's enough for him to stay.
Time for some score predictions.
Cardiff 4-0 Swansea
You saw it here first.

This has to be the way doesn’t it. Press high, don’t let them get comfortable playing their usual game. Confuse them, unsettle them and let them know they’re not dictating today.Quote:

Over 28,000 expected. Guess I better get going. C'mon City, it must be our turn.
First of 8 games this month.
Yes, very good crowd.Quote:

Pretty negative midfield.
Mind you, I've disliked his selections before and been wrong.
Etete not in the squad - maybe still carrying the Rotherham knock?
Sawyers and Romeo still jet lagged?
Philogene and O'Dowda as wing backs with Ojo off Kaba?
A grafting midfield to start with not much creativity.
I suppose Sawyers is tired, I'm surprised Wickham isn't starting. I don't see much of a goal threat in that team. We'll see.
Let's hope none of ours get sent off, again. It's going to be a tight one.
Kaba is our main goal threat so let's hope he does the business today.Quote:

Jesus ****ing Christ!
FFS
shit...all those players around him and it's 0-1
Dear god.
Right, goals in the 91st and 92nd minutes to win it.
