[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Louie Barry's a doubt for Hull.

[Rjk]

Annoyingly, Hull have a pretty decent away record. The 8th best in the division.
And we have the 2nd worst home record in the division.

[The Lone Gunman]

Come on Jimmy, you've missed a trick there.

Cardiff are unbeaten at home this year.

[jon1959]

Cardiff are unbeaten in their last five home league games .

Enough of your crazed positivity.

Whatever happened to negative and miserable?

Cardiff can't defend (even when we have defenders available on two legs with a pulse). Hull are on a high.

It has to be a 1 -3 loss and a melt down! Doesn't it.......?

[Hilts]

I dont get the happy with a point talk.

We have to start winning. It's a team on the same amount of points as us and we are at home.

Let's attack Salech Ashford Alves Colwill possibly Ramsey and hopefully Robinson as an option as well.

Straight at them positively from the off.

We really need a win and if we play on the front foot we should get all 3.

Keep your stubs everybody, you'll need them after we beat Villa

My brother-in-law has kept all Hull ticket stubs over the last decade, home and away. You just never know...

[Rjk]

I wonder if we will go back to 4 at the back or persist with the 3

[jon1959]

I wonder if we will go back to 4 at the back or persist with the 3

My guess is that will depend on who is available - not a decision about the best formation to beat Hull.

There is every chance that all the back three (and the goalkeeper) from the Plymouth game will be out.

Alnwick, Bagan and possibly Ng injured and Goutas suspended.

Maybe Daland and Chambers will be back, maybe not.

[the other bob wilson]

Louie Barry's a doubt for Hull.

He’s out.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Maybe Daland and Chambers will be back, maybe not.

I thought Riza said Daland was out for 2 weeks, might be wrong

[Canton Kev]

I wonder if we will go back to 4 at the back or persist with the 3

Have we got 4 defenders available to play a back 4?

[bobh]

I wonder if we will go back to 4 at the back or persist with the 3

We might have to go with a back 2... or one

[Former Labour leader]

Not making a guesx at our team. Could be anything.
We certainly need a performance as Hull are doing very well away.
Not a must win game, but a win would go a long way to ensuring our survival.
I think, hope Hull are due a poor performance.
2-1 Cardiff

[ninian opinian]

Listening to the CCFC phone in earlier, someone mentioned Horvath broke his finger in the warm up on Saturday. It doesn’t rain it pours.

[Former Labour leader]

Horvarth was on bench for the game. If he'd been In jured in warm up wouldn't he have been replaced by Turner?

[Dave Blue]

Calm down. This is a CCFC message board. Everyone will be happy with 0-0 and playing the under 5s at Villa.

[LA Bluebird]

Horvarth was on bench for the game. If he'd been In jured in warm up wouldn't he have been replaced by Turner?

Is it standard practice to take a third keeper to away games and can you add/remove players from a gameday squad that late? Genuinely no idea on both counts.

[Rjk]

Have we gone 4-4-2?

[Hilts]

Have we gone 4-4-2?

No.

[ninian opinian]

Always one missing who we never thought would be. No Alves.
