If we're serious about the play-offs, this is a must-win game. I'm going to 2-0 to City.

Of all the remaining games I'm confident of us smashing the everloving shit out of these the most.
Yes, another big game after the break. Forest have improved in recent months and are all but safe. We should win.
3-0
Mick McCarthy's team talk should be easy, just mention the word scabs, if that's not incentive enough.
Oh a little history lesson on King Arthur of Barnsley and his followers should do the trick....2-0 CityOriginally Posted by elytillidie

Match facts
- Cardiff City have won 10 of their last 12 league meetings with Nottingham Forest (D1 L1).
- Nottingham Forest are looking to win consecutive away league matches against Cardiff for the first time ever, having won 1-0 last season.
- Since Mick McCarthy’s first game in charge, only Norwich and Barnsley (30) have won more Championship points than Cardiff City (29).
- After winning 3-0 against Wycombe in February, Nottingham Forest have scored just five goals in 10 league games and never more than once in a game (W2 D4 L4).
- Cardiff manager Mick McCarthy has won seven of his last nine home league matches against Nottingham Forest (D1 L1).
Morrison not in the squad.
Flint is our captain today. That's quite a turnaround in the space of a few months.
Cardiff City XI: Phillips; Nelson, Flint, Brown; Sang, Vaulks, Pack, Ralls; Bacuna; Wilson, Moore.
Subs: Smithies, Ng, Colwill, Williams, Hoilett, Ojo, Murphy, Watters, Harris.
Morrison still growing skin back on his heel?
Ralls carries on as LWB? Or a back four with Brown as LB?
Aden Flint skippers the side v Forest today in the absence of Sean Morrison. Curtis Nelson lines up alongside Flint in defence with Tom Sang and Ciaron Brown.
Cardiff: Phillips, Sang, Nelson, Flint, Brown, Ralls, Pack, Vaulks, Bacuna, Wilson & Moore.
Interesting. A four at the back or is Ralls at lwb again? Ng not fully fit or has Sang kept the shirt due to his performance at Swansea?
I suspect Ralls will be LWB again. I’m not surprised Morrison is missing looking at the state of his heel in the pictures, it is a loss in both boxes though
Biggest weakness Flint, Nelson and Brown have is passing the ball out from the back so this could end up like the away game against Barnsley on the Rodney Parade'esque pitch - proper ugly stuff.
In some ways I hope they struggle (but City win, obviously) so we don't risk Mick thinking it's a way to go for next season.
Still no sign of Tomlin. There's a surprise.
Morrison is a big loss
Yes, big blow losing Morrison. I assume Ralls at lwb.
Bit nervous now about this one.
I can't stand Lewis Grabban but I can't remember why.
Wilson down.
Wilson up.
Forest score.
Bad Friday
Very poor so far, very much second best so far
