gethinO Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'll start this one off then lads. Will be a strange game for me personally as my supported team are playing my home city (I moved to Cardiff last September from North Wales) but I obviously want us to win. I think we'll get our first win of the season here. I'm gonna go 3-1 to the Blues (Mirallas x2, Pienaar) and Campbell for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 It's only right a Welshman should start this weekends game so content with that and only to say I also think we can take three points from this. It's an awkward venue for anyone to visit but we have the capabilities to take a result from this. Only hope the recent Baines and Fellaini business hasn't unsettled the team to any extent. If a third successive draw occurs, it won't be that much of a surprise but I feel we can get maximum points from this.

Mogsy Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) I thought after the west brom game and before their city game we would win, but I think another draw is on the cards, 1-1 Edited August 31, 2013 by mogsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoward18 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) I don't think I would recognize a single name on the Cardiff roster, let alone know anything about their ability. Anyone want to point out a few guys to watch out for? EDIT: Okay, I know Caulkner and Bellamy. Though I couldn't tell you much about either of their games.

thoward18 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 http://theexecutionersbong.wordpress.com/ Well that's a hell of a lot more analysis than I ever could have hoped for. Phenomenal stuff. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 They are going to be another one of those teams that will sit back and make life difficult for us. However they dont have a great defensive record which means we should be able to create some decent chances and hopefully for the first time this season we can actually put them away.

Romey 1878 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Not confident of us winning this tbh, I can actually see our first defeat of the season coming. Matt and Quinn31 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droobie Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'll stick by my predict the result score and say 3-0 to us. I said Mirallas to score, and so will Fellaini and Baines in what 'could' be their last game with us. Stars must be aligned because for once the match is the feature one and not 'viewers choice' which means I can nip down to the local pub to watch the game on the big screen live. My head is telling me that Cardiff are playing with the confidence that we should have. They're on a premier league high at the moment, especially after their City game. We've had three lackluster games so far this season, so I think it's time that the lads step up and give Cardiff a proper EPL welcome. A draw or a loss will really have everyone grumbling about Martinez - a win would be the boost we need - and might be the confidence lift that will get Baines or Fellaini to stay?!

Aidan Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 bore draw. We don't have the confidence to win these games away from home. To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if we finished the season with 38 points from 38 draws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) How saddening to see Osman's name in the starting 11 again. Bet he plays the 90 minutes again as well. Edited August 31, 2013 by Romey 1878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I think we are fairly unlucky not to have a premier league win up under our belts already. Largely dominated the games just not quite putting the chances away (similar to last season really). I think we will also dominate this game. I am going to predict Jelevic to finding his premiership goal scoring touch today. I want to see either Kone or Jelavic on the score sheet - a confidence striker will make up coming games easier. Cardiff will be chomping at the bit to play again after last weeks results, lets hope the come back to earth with a bump. The shock Man City result should help our squad focus on this game, and not go in to it to complacent - I predict we will still be unbeaten this season at the end of the game, and hopefully with a win under our belt. A repeat of last seasons trip to a confident Swansea would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoblue Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Disappointed to see Ossie starting, but here's hoping he has a blinder and proves us all wrong. Going to be a really tough fixture. Need to survive the first 20-25 minutes as they're going to come out flying after big win and having rested most of the squad in mid week. Hope Barkley has enough in the tank to dictate from the middle. 2-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee_in_LA Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Big game, nervous after Cardiff got that huge win against Man City last week. We need to make sure they don't get an early goal, otherwise we might be in trouble. Hoping we can get our first win today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
