We need a win v West Ham. Hope Warwick does not change team too much. Needs to be settled between now and end of season.
I am not expecting many changes, although Warnock'so comments today suggest that Murphy will at least cone back in the squad.
I don't think we played too badly v Wolves at times. The first goal will be crucial. Am not optimistic but you never know. WHam are not world beaters
Hopefully!
Stats:
- Cardiff have lost all three of their Premier League meetings with West Ham by a two-goal margin, losing the reverse fixture 3-1 in December.
- West Ham have won their last seven meetings with Cardiff in all competitions, scoring at least twice each time and conceding just three goals. They last had a longer winning run against an opponent between 1989-2000 vs Watford (9 games).
- Cardiff have lost their last three Premier League games by an aggregate score of 10-1, with two home defeats included in that run (5-1 vs Watford, 3-0 vs Everton).
- West Ham have only won one of their last eight Premier League away games against sides starting the day in the relegation zone (D4 L3), beating Fulham 2-0 in December.
- West Ham have won two of their last three Premier League games (L1), having won just one of their previous seven beforehand (D3 L3).
- Away from home, West Ham have lost four of their last five in the Premier League (D1), failing to score in each defeat.
- Cardiff have scored just seven first-half goals in Premier League games this season, a league-low. They've scored a league-high ratio 72 per cent of their goals after half-time in the competition this season (18/25).
- West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini's first ever Premier League defeat was away at Cardiff in August 2013 with Manchester City - he's won his last two against the Bluebirds since that defeat.
Just coming into Port Talbot. Train running late. Don't want to miss start and City's 2nd minute goal.

Have faith
Underwhelmed by that line up
Hoilett shouldn't be starting at this level but the rest of the team is OK. Can't think of anything else Neil can try at this point
Get in!
we're passing the ball.... wtf!
Doing very well so far. I hope Arter can manage to keep a cap on, it now that he already has a yellow.
The more this game progresses, the more I'm concerned about Arter.
Those long throws of Gunnarsson, please, please, please can we try to vary them?
Great first half. Well done boys
i think we'll get a point.
