I’m hoping we have a good turnout for this. I sadly can’t see beyond being outplayed and out-sung for 90 minutes but you never know.

Got my ticket
Not looking forward to it.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
For the last 20 yrs this has always been a game that for some reason we’d always come out on top, a bogey team for them ever since that fine day when they were top of the league. It will be a miracle of similar magnitude if we did it this time I think…..

It would take some doing to surpass that day! For me, it was one of the most (possibly THE most) memorable games in over 40 years of watching City. If you weren't there that night, well......

I'm glad that I wasn't there that night, it would have meant missing the game. :hehe:

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
Wonder whether Cody Drameh will get a game against us. He's only played 2 games so far this season.
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
Can't see us winning this one 2-1. End of a tradition.
They doubled us a few years ago, but that was under Slade, so doesn't count.

For those who are superstitious, Leeds Utd beat West Ham on the 1st January 2002 before their FA cup game against the Bluebirds

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
2 goals from set pieces. 😀

And West Ham are beating them tonight.

Do the rumours that Leeds have bought more tickets than City have any credibility?

Well there are 10,000 Leeds fans coming down from Merthyr :xmashehe:

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
Has the potential to be grim doesn't it.
I feel like I should go, the dark days are all part of it but I really don't think I want to.
It would be quite typical of us to put out our best performance of the season in this when no one is really bothered or believes we will, then next round lose at home to league 2.

Leeds have just shy of 7k as their maximum. There's about 8.5k tickets left for City fans on the website so we've sold about 11k if there aren't any tickets being held back which it doesn't look like.

Looks like about 20k. For us that's a great 3rd round crowd.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
Probably no Robinson or Etete on Sunday. Watters is off to Barnsley. That leaves Harris up front. A chance for James Crole?

No, Crole's off to Torquay on loan.

It’s not really seeing as Leeds are bringing so many.

Are Robinson & Etete injured?

Robinson sickness. Etete slight hamstring strain.

Both described as doubtful in the press conference earlier - Robinson ill, Etete still injured.
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
Whyte doubtful, Kipre probably out as well as confirmation that we’re on a FIFA embargo, so we can’t even bring in free agents.
It never rains but
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
Clarification of the embargo was a bit of a shock. We cannot do loans or free transfers.
That means McGuinness will have to come back and it may be Nelson will have to stay as further cover at the back.😥
We are desperate for Davies and Etete to come good in the second half of the season as we will be unable to sign the striker we desperately need.
In a way it makes it a bit odd that Watters and Crole have been loaned.

I missed the thread about the embargo. No loans or freebies is a disaster. Even if we ship players out?
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
Seems strange to be loaning players out when none can come in.
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
We sent Leeds into a downward spiral 20 years ago, I fear they’ll further send us into a downward spiral of our own.

It is concerning, even if the players are substandard.

Where was this clarified?

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
Hudson confirmed today this is a FIFA embargo, not an EFL one. Quick check of the rules means no transfers in of any kind, frees or loans for 3 windows.
This means quite simply we are fecked unless Hudson gets a tune out of the players who have failed so miserably so far.
IMO this means a new manager, whether its Warnock of anyone else is desperately needed to motivate our team.

That is not great news.
Might be for some kids though.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
Will Leeds have more fans there than us? Never thought I’d see that

Cardiff City 0 Leeds United...

The answer’s in the thread if you read it. Hudson confirmed it in his press conference yesterday.

We dont need any help from Leeds to be on a downward spiral.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread
If it's this bad on the board today, imagine what it'll be like once Leeds have absolutely tamped us.
Most likely Hudson's last game I'd say. That's if the board can find anyone of any note whatsoever who would touch us with a ten foot bargepole.

That’s why I said “further” we certainly don’t need help.
