Cardiff City away match thread

[Hocca]

Can’t see the video pass for the game on robins tv, I can only see the monthly video pass any idea why this is?

[Red Army 75]

Looks like we didn’t do to bad at Leeds after all. 3 up home to Huddersfield. 35 minutes gone 

[Jerseybean]

I’ve got a very uncomfortable feeling, based on nothing but gut instinct, that this might just be Nige’s last game as our manager.. If not, I suspect it will happen in the next international break.

With such a small and depleted squad we need tremendous support to get behind the boys today.. I have absolutely no doubt they will give 100% although it may not be enough.  I hope that if we are beaten it is a performance which is a credit to Bristol City FC and the manager. That way it will make it more difficult for NP to be sacked.

After today, things calm down a little, with Sheffield Wednesday at AG next Saturday, followed by QPR away before the international break. With no midweek games, the pressure will be off a little and a few players will hopefully return from injury.

Today it’s going to be about character, commitment, and courage more than anything else on the pitch and the traveling fans can demonstrate all those qualities as much as the players.

Always believe, come on you Reds!

Youd have thought they'd all have the flu jab to prevent an outbreak

Huddersfield lost 0-4 at home to Cardiff midweek, also lost 1-4 at Birmingham recently in amongst a couple of draws and a win.

When they lose, they tend to lose badly.

One of these seasons we're going to get good fortune on the injury front.

Probably the same season we finish top 6

Missed him out (but the way he's been playing he probably would have been benched for this game with a full squad).

Mind you, he usually does well in Cardiff - they hate him over there.

 

Let him have a go up top today-

Nothing to lose!!

If your generally fit and well you don't have a flu jab.. if everyone had jabs we wouldnt fight anything off.Its just unlucky our squad is down to its bare bones.

A number of people saying this. I can't see it myself, unless SL is blaming Nige for the injuries there's no way he'll sack him in these circumstances.....is there?

6 months+ left of the season.

Still time to get a fit squad together and make a fist of it.

Hope you are right, but I can see some warped narrative along the lines of Nige wanted to work with a small squad and look what happened….

You usually sack someone on the back of an unexpected bad defeat.

I don't think anyone will be surprised if we lose today.

Nigel Pearson is a truthful, if at times blunt, individual. He has already told us , several times, his plan . He will quite simply honour his contract, and then consider his options. In my view he will either walk away from football (which he has indicated) or will get a better offer elsewhere as others will have seen how well he has done.

Some of these injuries we are picking up must be down to the small squad. with a small squad, when we have picked up a few injuries  we have no chance to manage the game time of players that are likely to pick up injuries, its a vicious circle.

Spot on.

[Dan Robin]

Worried about this game's outcome and the possible effects on the following ones: assuming that the number of injuries won't decrease... optimistically I think we could lose narrowly today and draw the next two, pessimistically I wouldn't be surprised by a losing streak.

Surely a hard time for this group of players and the manager, and they deserve a lot of support. COYR!

4-0 at HT and they lost at home 4-0 in the week to you know who!

That would be an absolutely pathetic thing for Lansdown to do ahead of two easier games before the break

I can’t see him being sacked anytime soon.

[Henry]

I’m weirdly confident about today. I think Nige is creating a siege mentally. Unfortunately the siege is against a family who want me gone.

The players will absolutely be fighting to keep Pearson in a job.

[tin]

A mate’s just text me to say Conway’s out today as well. We’ll know for sure at 2pm

Would not be if he is dropped to the bench even if fit, looked to be struggling and has been a shadow of the player before injury (except his cameo against Rotherham), would come on as sub and may suit him more not to try and pace himself.

[View from the Dolman]

TC in the video of the players arriving at the ground. 

[Alessandro]

Conway is looking fine in the video arriving at the ground.

Looks like Chinese whispers….

Having the same problem here. But can watch on the Cardiff city website . It’s coming up there. 

[Roger Red Hat]

So, as we speak, the top 4 consists of the 3 relegated teams + Ipswich!

Agreed, but plenty of apparent ITK posters who seem to think SL looking for any excuse to sack NP, sadly.

[elhombrecito]

No Roberts either. Our defence is absolutely decimated.
