FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 1 BARNSLEY

[Michael Morris]

Saturday August 7th, ko 3pm.

At the time of starting this thread we are waiting for exact ticketing details (for home and away fans) and confirmation of match officials.

Cardiff could potentially allow all seats to be sold. Barnsley have requested 1513 tickets.

It's a first competitive game in charge for new Barnsley manager Markus Schopp.

The starting line up v Newport on Saturday offers a clue as to the likely team for the Barnsley fixture

Cardiff City: Smithies, Ng, Morrison, Flint, Nelson, Bagan, Ralls, Pack, Giles, Bacuna, Collins.

We've still not seen any pre-season action from Kieffer Moore, but he has been spotted at the stadium and has been pictured in training.

Really looking forward to getting back down there.

All seats available would be great.

Me neither, gagging to get back down for a real game. Will be the first time I think a lot of us have felt proper normality for a long long time

Are we back to 3 from 7 in terms of subs?

Cardiff City will include a special homage to the late Peter Whittingham on Saturday ahead of the first league game supporters have been allowed to attend since the club legend died.

The club has asked for all supporters to send in photographs of loved ones to display on the big screen before kick-off against Barnsley at Cardiff City Stadium, accompanied by a minute's silence.

It is understood the tribute will culminate in a video of Whittingham's iconic goal against Barnsley back in March 2011, a stunning strike which saw him volley the ball into the top corner from 30 yards.

A crowd-surfing banner of Whitts will also be present for supporters to pass along in the stands. Said banner will then sit at the top of the Canton Stand permanently.

Cardiff have also confirmed to WalesOnline that they are committed to playing a Peter Whittingham tribute match next year. The opponents for that game are yet to be confirmed but discussions are ongoing.

I had said I wasn't going to go for a bit, to see how things pan out, but then friends of mine got tickets and decided to get mine. Might get a season ticket as well. The taste of watered down lager in a plastic cup will never have tasted better!

They'll miss Alex Mowatt and Daryl Dike, but I think theyll still be strong. The entire squad is very young, but now has a decent amount of experience for their age and they should be improving with that.
Theyve signed 3 strikers in the summer it seems, so if one of those starts banging them in I tihnk they could well be up there again.

Outside chance that Kiefer Moore might make the bench for Barnsley - but Lee Tomlin, Isaac Vassell, Rubin Colwill, Isaak Davies and Kieron Evans all ruled out.

Once again Mick is saying that Moore and Colwill (and Bacuna and Ng) had Covid - not just isolating as contacts.

No serious transfer interest in Moore. Excellent news!

Ok we're losing this one.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v BARNSLEY. Match thread

I reckon Moore will be on the bench - we seem pretty short of strikers.
