At least Weimann's not playing - he always seems to score against us.
Ralls and Turnbull possibly available.
Got a weird feeling we'll win this one...
Would be happy with a reaction from the players and a point.
Another feeble defeat would be hard to recover from
I haven't.Quote:

Be good to see Turnbull back but if Ralls is involved we are in big trouble.Quote:

In truth couldn't care less who lines up in defence as they're all absolute shit, maybe Bagan aside. I'll go for 3-0 Blackburn, because of course we'll give Ismael his first win.
Horvarth
Ng
Goutas
Fish
O'Dowda
Chambers
Colwill
Alves Robinson Ashford
Salech
We will make a slow start and end up behind before coming back into the game only to concede a sloppy, soft as shit goal to lose it.

If Blackburn could gift us a couple of goals like this one it would be much appreciated

In the first 20 minutes we'll all be saying how much better it is compared with the Luton game (could hardly get worse I suppose).
We'll hit the woodwork (again), have a penalty claim turned down, and come close on a couple of occasions.
The final 15 minutes will see things more evenly matched, but without any goals.
So a first-half where we huffed & puffed without managing to blow the house down.
Second-half we will revert to type and start to look increasingly disjointed, inviting Blackburn on to us.
Blackburn 1 - 0 City
Not sure what's worse, that he keeps getting picked in what is probably the 7th/8th best best league in the world or that an established footballing nation has seen fit to not only call him up but start him at international level.Quote:

Not sure we should be throwing Lawler in
Didn’t we keep a clean sheet against Hull with Bagan playing thereQuote:

Daland's back from injury too...Quote:

- Blackburn Rovers have won three of their last five home league games (D1 L1), with two of those wins coming under John Eustace and one under caretaker manager David Lowe.
- Cardiff City have won only one of their last 20 away league matches (D9 L10), beating Watford 2-1 in December.
I was at our last win there a Friday night if I remember correctly
I sense a degree of negativity towards this coming fixture.Quote:

No, wishful thinking is all that is left.Quote:

"Hard to even see us winning this game"

"We're going to lose, probably 1-2 or 0-2. Won't be watching after the last 2 shitshows."
"We’re now much worse under, it seems, a really poor manager."
"Third game on the spin against a bottom 4 side so we will wrap the 3 points up in a big ribbon for them now."
They clearly don't have much insight about us.
We are NOT the kind of squad that rolls up their sleeves and fights tooth and nail.
