Septic Peg Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Morning folks. Been a while since you heard from me. But here I am. I know a few people expressed their preference for others to do the MDT and again, I will reiterate that if you wish to volunteer, please message myself or @havanatopia. Cardiff City gave Warnock the boot and replaced him with Neil Harris and tbf, the lad has done well, most recently leapfrogging Preston to sit in a play off spot utilizing a team of our rejects to achieve a 3-1 win. Yep, a homecoming for some today. Lee Tomlin, Aden Flint, Marlon Pack and fan favourite Uncle Albert are all expected to be named in today's squad. Our squad remains similar too. Expect an unchanged squad for us. Will Palmer start?? Finally, some humour for you from the omniscient and omnipresent Roy De Alien... We will tank again. 2-1 Cardiff win. Houghton in??????? COYRS!

maxjak Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Alberts contract has expired.........so he is no longer a Cardiff player. While on the subject of contracts, why has Liam Walsh not been offered a longer term contract? A years extension is insufficient, we really seem to have an ongoing problem with tying players to suitable contracts, ie. Elliason, Baker etc?

pillred Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Sorry to say I'm finding it hard to get exited about todays game apart from wanting to beat Cardiff and hopefully scupper their playoff chances just like I feared the season has again fizzled out to nothing and hands up who is really surprised.

wendyredredrobin Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Always enjoy playing our Severnside rivals, but too far off the playoffs now for the game to be otherwise meaningful. I guess the tombola has been cranked up and we shall know what balls have emerged in a couple of hours. Whoever is selected, I really hope we can show some attacking ambition. Am I right in assuming that for those of us residing overseas, the match is on Sky and therefore won't be on RobinsTV. That's yet another subscription paid where we can't watch the game. Hopefully being shown in a bar, otherwise a stream I suppose. We may be celebrating LJs last game in charge by teatime. I really can't see the point in keeping him for the last few games if we have our sights set on someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that any club wants to tie itself down to any new long-term contracts in the current environment unless they really have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 I think we should start a keep @Septic Peg and @havanatopia campaign. Don’t let others try to take over the match day thread.

Roy DeAlien has a long history on twitter of writing unsubstantiated rumours and regurgitating transfer news. (Read: Complete Bull****) He tweets about general football rumours, but often goes into more detail on Bristol City, so guessing is a City fan and certainly not ITK. Onto today - a massive one for LJ, symbolically against Cardiff and being a derby, a loss will be even harder to stomach. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, clawing back 4 points with 5 games is a big ask. Also, if Derby win, we would still be 5 points + goal difference off 6th place. A win today would be nice, but still leaves us in a weak position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 If Derby lose today, our game represents a huge opportunity for Cardiff. If we lose, Cardiff would have a 4 point cushion from 7th, and would be odds on to make the play offs. Would that opportunity make them tense up? Or fire them up? TBC.
