Bad feeling about this one, could see us getting a bit of a hiding. Hopefully Ng is back, with Pack and Bacuna back in the team as well.
City 0 - 3 Watford
I've seen Watford a few times on the telly lately and they've been nothing special. We beat them remember a few weeks ago.Not sure that they can cope with our 'giants', up top or in defence.Quote:

Watford are ordinary. Either a narrow Cardiff win or 1-1Quote:

Regarding Osei-Tutu: "We are not planning on him playing yet, though. He has got two under-23s games first."
Cardiff's under-23s play against QPR on March 16 before facing Birmingham City on March 22. So, by that logic, it appears as though he will miss not only the clash with Watford this weekend, but also the Stoke City game and the South Wales derby with Swansea City on March 20.

Watford are shit, We're not losing this. 2-0 to city with Moore tearing them a new one and not even looking that bothered about it.
I too have a bad feeling.Quote:

I cannot believe he's still working!

Yes, MM made it clear in his presser that Brown would be left back.Quote:

Well this can be a first real opportunity for a lot of us to see what Brown is all about. He'll have been training for the left wing back role all week and hopefully we will be a bit more balanced than we were against Huddersfield
I'm going for a score-draw. Hopefully.
I'm usually wrong, so I'll go for 1-3
My head is telling me similar. Hope we are wrong.Quote:

Watford dont concede many, but dont score a lot either(touch wood). If they win it will be by the odd goal, but I am quietly confident we will not lose.Quote:

1-1

Match facts
- This is the first meeting between Cardiff and Watford at the Cardiff City Stadium since February 2019 in the Premier League, a 5-1 win for the Hornets.
- Watford are looking to win three consecutive away league matches against Cardiff for the first time since September 2007.
- Cardiff are unbeaten in their last 11 league matches – all under Mick McCarthy – their best run since a 13-game stretch between January and April 2018 during their last Championship promotion-winning season.
- Only Norwich City (33) have won more Championship points since Xisco Muñoz’s first game in charge on Boxing Day than Watford (32).
- Cardiff’s Mick McCarthy last faced Watford in 2014-15 with Ipswich, completing a league double over the Hornets.
Sounds like if Mark E Smith was the lead singer of Bronski BeatQuote:

Just watching Swansea game. Wind is going to have a big influence on our match. We will need to get our crosses right though.
Do we want to win today? Or let Watford win and dent the jacks hopes of promotion? :shrug:
No way do I want anything other than a Bluebirds win.Quote:

Subs: Smithies, Sang, Bacuna, Pack, Williams, Hoilett, Ojo, Watters, Harris.
Watford: Bachmann; Femenia, Troost-Ekong, Sierralta, Masina; Hughes, Chalobah, Zinckernagel; Sarr, Pedro, Sema.
Subs: Foster, Ngakia, Lazaar, Wilmot, Cathcart, Sanchez, Hungbo, Gray, Success.
Bit surprised Ralls starts. Team looked better when Pack came on.
Glad Ng is back, I think he was badly missed, would prefer Pack to Ralls though, he’s more likely to find Murphy with accuracy than Ralls. I’m still of the opinion that Murphy can shine with the right service.
Ralls is a strange one, looked rusty and poor against Huddersfield
Hopefully the break will have helped some of our tired players
Interesting to see how brown performs, seems more of a CB to me, we need that width from that side, I'd have liked Hoilett but let's wait and see, great to see him get a chance at the same time.
