Saturday January 30th, ko 3:00pm
Match Officials:
Referee: MATTHEW DONOHUE
Assistants: Ian Cooper and Robert Hyde
Fourth Official : Daniel Lamport
Game is live on Cardiff City TV. Co-commentator is ex Millwall player and City's U23 coach Steve Morrison.
Game is not on Sky or Red Button.
We've drawn 6 on the trot against Millwall, already a club record for consecutive draws against the same team.
It isn't the record for consecutive results against the same club, though. We've managed 8 wins in a row against Preston and Wrexham, and lost 8 in a row to Bristol City.
Draw seems a decent bet for Saturday as well. 😀
We haven’t had this ref this season !Quote:

If Flint keeps his place I give up.
Smithies
Ng
Nelson
Morrison
Bagan (Bennett if fit)
Vaulks
Ralls
Wilson
Ojo
Moore
Murphy
1-0 city.
I think Flint is a bit of a favourite of MM so would not be surprised to see him play.Quote:

But sadly, what we are really missing for me, are runners from midfield. None of our central midfielders are good enough or energetic enough to join the attacks which makes us easier to defend against. Unless we buy someone in January I can't see that changing sadly.Quote:

- The last six league matches between Cardiff and Millwall have all ended as a draw – indeed, 13 of the last 18 league matches between the teams have been draws.
- Millwall are looking for their first away league win against Cardiff since February 2005, winning 1-0 with a Danny Dichio penalty.
- In all competitions, Cardiff boss Mick McCarthy has won five of his last six home matches against his former side Millwall (D1), since losing 1-0 in August 2003 with Sunderland.
- Millwall have won just five of their last 36 away league matches in Wales (D18 L13) although they haven’t lost two league matches there in the same season since 1982/83, when they lost to Cardiff and Wrexham; the Lions lost 2-1 to Swansea earlier this season.
- Millwall striker Matt Smith has been directly involved in five goals in six league starts against Cardiff City (4 goals, 1 assist).
He's clearly not a fan of Wilson..
WTF???
Or refreshing not sure😂😂😂😂
Three at the back and a lack of attacking players - another youngster on the bench in the talented Ruben Colwill.
None of our midfielders can take hold of the ball and push forward with it.Quote:

I know Mick described Bacuna as a creative player but to me that's just two attacking players in the starting eleven. Our bench looks intriguing though.Quote:

It looks more like the defence we are used to seeing... one that has been very leaky!!! :yikes:
However, Mick does well against these so even though it looks on paper a nailed on draw, I'm going 2-1 City.
At least we know he is capable of changing things mid-match. May have to again.Quote:

Concerns are lack of movement in the 3 cbs and none that can really take the ball out of defence.
We must have furloughed the groundsmen
Mick has picked a team that will ensure the ball is nowhere near the grass
I think this one will go down with Brazil vs Italy 1970 in the history books
I'm getting my recliner in fully extended position so I'm in line with where the ball is going to be
I still have no idea how this is going to work
Looks like we are going for the clean sheet but surely Wilson should be in the middle of the park. Looks like hit and hoof
Looks like Millwall sticking with 3/5 at the back too.
Ken Zohore and Scott Malone in their starting 11.
5 defenders with no pace
3 midfielders with no pace and who can't pass a ball
1 Giant Centre Forward
and Ojo
Lets hope for set pieces then
When you put it like that it's hard to get excited🤣Quote:
