So many good things can come out of a Cardiff win today.
Three points (obviously), a record run of defeats for the wurzels, potentially put Lee Johnston on the verge of getting the boot, will put us above them in the table, would mean back to back league wins for us since I can't remember when (start of last season maybe?), set us up for next weeks game at home v Burton.
On the other hand with so much at stake are we likely to **** it up?
Connolly, Gunnarsson, Whittingham and Zohore all back in the team today.

That side is good enough although I would have played Tomlin but he'll likely come on.
Arriving here first thing I'm met with is scores of Police vans. Be nice if you behave this time. I am sat right by the away end for the game.

Anyone's guess whether that line up is 3/5 at the back or if Bamba is in midfield again - letting Gunnar push further forward.
Not much pace apart from Zohore (and maybe Bennett, although he looked leaden against Fulham). Harris and Hoilett 2nd half?
Is this game on tele?
Very attack minded bench. Guess our Mr Utility Man has got every defensive position covered!
It sounds end to end
That Kenneth Zohore is an awful awful football player
As opposed to Tamara Abraham?
We are crud. 1-00
