I don’t know if I can pluck up the courage to watch it

Guess we will, but with no optimism. Following CCFC is like a drug. Just can't kick the habit.

[Gofer Blue]

Better had prepare for a humiliating "double" over us this season again, methinks.

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Right, positives for Sunday:
* Kipre didn't get booked at QPR so isn't suspended
* Hudson played in the fixture so at least understands what it means to us
* Their defence is the 5th worst in the division
* We are due a huge slice of luck after the refereeing decisions in our last 2 games
That's all I can come up with. I tried.

Football is a simple game, pick your best eleven and stop tinkering

Totally agree.

The squad is week. The side at Wigan did a job.

If Romeo is fit.

Allsop Romeo Ng Kipre Nkounkou Ralls Wintle O Dowda Harris Robinson.

I think we might need all 11 for this one!

Not if it means playing Ojo

And Mark Hudson’s brother is one of the linos.

That gives us half a chance!

But their ex manager’s brother has the whistle

[the other bob wilson]

David Prutton predicting a 2-0 win for Swansea while saying we need to "get a move on" and appoint a new manager, thereby proving he does not know our club that well.

[Dave Blue]

I’d settle for 2-0, a moral victory.

[OurManFlint II]

Elis James FOF, both Iwan & Danny both predicted a Swans win (don't need to be a genius on that front), but Danny echoing what most of us are saying, Cardiff needs to show a bit of fight and spirit.
Aside from that, brilliant interview from Mark Evans this week well worth a listen

[UNDERHILL1927]

4-0 Swansea is all I can see. We fight early on, their pressure pays off and then we capitulate. I’d love to be more confident but we’ve got no chance

We have to go at them , close them down and test their defence instead of sitting back like previous games

Agreed mate, we’ve nothing to lose, may as well go down swinging.

Definitely need to press a lot higher and better than last season. If we get at them, and don’t let them play, we have a chance

[Dave Blue]

The headless chicken approach would be better than last year’s stand off.

I think we'll get a goal, their defence can be very suspect at times.
The problem is, I can see them dominating areas of the pitch.
I also see another red, coming from an over zealous Joe Ralls.

4-1

Hope I'm entirely wrong!

If we set up to defend for 90 minutes we'll be asking for trouble by inviting them to attack, I'd sooner we played on the front foot and went for it, than meekly getting picked off, a draw will do
Whatever happens let's hope we have learned from the embarrassment of the last time we played them

[Hilts]

We have to attack and press high.

We forced Blackburn into mistake after mistake and their back 5 really isnt that good.

I think we are going to pull off a win.
