High Noon showdown with Neil Warnock at CCS on Sunday. It might be a dead rubber for Cardiff depending on Reading v Wigan on Saturday.
It won't be a dead rubber. We'd love to help relegate the old fossil.Quote:

Match Facts:
- Cardiff City have won eight of their last nine home league games against Huddersfield Town (D1) since losing 2-1 in September 2001.
- Huddersfield Town are looking to complete a league double over Cardiff for the first time since the 1969-70 campaign.
- Cardiff City have won two of their last 14 home league games (D5 L7), and are winless in four at the Cardiff City Stadium (D2 L2).
- After losing three of their first five league games under Neil Warnock this season (W1 D1), Huddersfield Town have lost just one of their last seven (W3 D3).
- Huddersfield boss Neil Warnock has only won two of his last 15 league meetings with Cardiff City (D7 L6) although he did win his last away game against his former club in October 2021 with Middlesbrough.
Got a strange feeling about this one based on our behaviours this season ,win one away, lose one at home .
Let us hope the alleged 25k turn up and support for 90 plus minutes
With o'Dowda out might we see Bagan or maybe another showing for Ralls at wing back? I also note that Adams played an hour for the reserves this week, it would be nice to see him make his debut at some point on Sunday given the terrible luck he's had this season.
If we are safe mathematically tomorrow and seeing as how hes said Bagan should get a contract then he really should play.Quote:

Stream for Reading Wigan if anyone is interested - CHANNEL168 – BigEvents (bigeventz.xyz)
So....Reading 0 Wigan 0 at half time. We are 45 minutes from mathematical safety.
Wigan coming back in the game...no clear cut chances either side. Wigan keeper look decent and decisive....
Phew that was tense. I wonder if that might effect selection. This will be the first game for Lamouchi (and is for a while!)where the pressure is off. It would be nice to see one or two academy players who have done well this year get a look in.Quote:

Would be totally unsportsmanlike to do that, especially as Huddersfield are still in the mix for relegation.Quote:

I expect one or two surprises tomorrow, although the manager will want to win. Simpson is likely to start as we have noone else on the left.
Perhaps Davies will start with Adam's on bench.
We will see.
City will win 2-1
Seems like bowl all but sold out. Very surprised Ninian L5 not opened. Does noone work a CCS over weekends to make decisions?
With our home form, I doubt the league could legitimately say that fielding our ‘full’ side wasn’t throwing the match.Quote:

Surely they'll have to open some of the red stand if tickets are available tomorrow? What does the main bowl hold, 27/28k?
Disappointing to see Bagan in the reserves today - if what Sabri has said about him is remotely true it’s hard to understand him not getting a look in over Simpson in a meaningless game. You could probably say the same for King and maybe Denham too.
At least there’s some chance he will involve Davies I guess, but hardly a ringing endorsement that he will give some of the youngsters a look in if he’s retained.
27 I thinkQuote:

The problem is it doesn't happen very often

Let’s hope the team turn up too. It’s been grim at home.Quote:

We have had a local Derby with a 28 k crowd ....which we should .....and what was going to be a crunch game with Huddersfield....which has seen us sell tickets at half priceQuote:

Which part of that don't you understand ?
Even when we would get big gates in the seventies the next week our crowds would drop by half
You can deny history as much as you like but it's always been our nemesis
It's going to be enjoyable as you say no pressure . Huddersfield can be the ones nail chewing .Quote:

When was the last time we got 28500 for a derby as well. You are in denial and wont accept that City are a well supported club at this level.Quote:

We're in the top half for average attendances, we are objectively well supportedQuote:

“Cardiff City's problem has never been getting big crowds from time to time ......it’s getting them on a regular basis” This is very true, having seen my first game in 52/53 season. For example City beat Spurs 3-2 on a Saturday night in March 61/62 season when Spurs did the double and there were over 50,000, the following home game against Villa and there were less than 12,000
I feel sorry for everyone with BLUETIT when he sees the line up.🤣
