This has the potential to be one of the worst games ever. Two poor teams at the moment.

Match facts

• Cardiff City have only one win in their last 10 games vs Birmingham City, with that win coming courtesy of a 1-0 away victory in October 2017.
• The two sides drew in their last Championship meeting back in December of last year, drawing 2-2 at St Andrew’s.
• The Bluebirds have just one win in their previous eight league matches, conceding 12 goals during this period.
• Birmingham have just two wins in their last 12 Championship games, conceding 23 goals in this dire run.

Think you mean Birmingham have only 1 win in 10 against us ;)

Harry Wilson's hat trick last season was a dream then!

Harry Wilson's hat trick last season was a dream then!

One of the best hat tricks as well.

Recent games have been goal fests. We went 27 games against them in the league where there were never any more than 3 goals scored in a game. There's been 26 goals in the last 6 games between us!

A beautiful day to watch football even allowing for what's likely to be on offer. At least it'll be nice to have a couple of pints in the sun.

[tforturton]

They're one of the few clubs that are actually below us - a must-win game, surely? 3-1 to the mighty Blues (I mean CCFC).

I'll be disappointed if we cant beat this shower of shite, perhaps 1 of only 2 or 3 teams worse than us.
2-1 CCFC

I’m probably wrong but I feel like this is the first time I’ve seen Denham and McGuiness in a back 3 together. Interested to see how that back 3 gets on as all should be with us next season.

Anyone else having problems?

Same for me in France. Managed to get it working with VPN to one of the Dark Market countries, but the signal has dropped altogether now.

[TDA]

Came back now it's gone again

[ToTaL ITK]

you're lucky

[PontBlue]

Soft goal again. One ball through the middle. Feels like games in early season again. Also why can't Phillips make an effort to save it. Really annoying when the goalie makes no attempt.

[ToTaL ITK]

two good save there tho

[bluebirdcelt]

you're lucky

Woeful defending (once again) leaving Phillips no chance.
Are we really sure Steve Morison is the man to take things forward for us??

Personally, am not convinced but would be happy to be proved wrong..

[ToTaL ITK]

from our point of view this is rubbish...we get the ball forward then just punt it at goal.I rate Neil so it won't be easy to get one passed him

[PontBlue]

Another rubbish half

[Michael Morris]

Drawback about being shite is that there is a queue at the bar as people rather be under here than out there.

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

Hardly whets the appetite for next season, does it!
