This will be a tricky one.
They're not playing as bad as their League position suggests frustrated Swansea in their cup tie before losing the pens.

Hopefully a win but might be looking to put some form together. This is a game where if we sleepwalk, we could easily be punished.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v PLYMOUTH ARGYLE. Match thread
I'd ignore their league position, only 5 matches in. They will be dangerous. Seemed they have turned a bit of a corner in the last couple of matches.
Hopefully able to impose on them how we want to play and pick up another 3 points. Think it will be close though.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v PLYMOUTH ARGYLE. Match thread
Another match that will test us, and if we're serious about doing anything this season nothing less than 3 points will suffice.
3-1 city, but it will be our hardest game of the season so far.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v PLYMOUTH ARGYLE. Match thread
There are two Gallagher's. Is there a chance that there's a third Colwill?

This one could be a real test, and some indication of just how far we have come. I still think we'll win, but it's not going to easy. So much of our game goes through Rubin Colwill, and man-marking him might stifle this side, but no-one has really tried it yet....

I'm sure they have tried it but it's easier said than done at the moment, particularly with the way we keep our wingers so wide. Peterborough in particular tried to congest the middle and tuck in their full backs and it just left acres of space for Tanner.
VFTN lads were saying in midweek at 1 nil they could hear Flynn telling one of the Cheltenham subs to stay on Rubin. For the second goal i'd say maybe they got the wrong Colwill but then he peeled away into plenty of space as well.
Looking forward to it which is a nice feeling at the moment, i'm sure it will be a tight match mind.

Wimbledon had 7 players around him every time he touched the ball !!! (For those readers who lack a sense of humour, it was 2 or 3 players):hehe:

They love Cleverley, sounds like they are a work in progress but improving.

Most teams will try, but having the wingers on the touchline makes it harder and drags players away from him in the middle.

They are tacky and tasteless. These doctored images ruin truly iconic photos.

Awful, awful, awful.
I don't know how any of the current or original players feel, but I'd hazard a guess that the current players would be quite embarrassed.

Here's hoping the ref is a step up on what we've seen so far. Here's how he prepares for games:
