A couple of draws tonight will go down very well, Caardiff up against a bogey team for them... Leeds and Villa hot on our heels.... tomorrow wins for Sheff U, Ipswich and Derby WILL MAKE IT A TIGHT FIT AT THE TOP ! Cardiff have lost their last four league matches against Norwich, conceding 11 goals in those matches. The Canaries have never won three consecutive away league matches at Cardiff in their entire league history. Leeds have only lost one of their last nine league games against Aston Villa (W4 D4), a 2-0 defeat at Villa Park in the 2003-04 season, when they were relegated from the Premier League. This is only the third meeting between the sides at Elland Road outside the top flight - both sides have one victory each, Villa winning 3-1 in 1987-88 and Leeds winning 2-0 last season.
that's the weakest Norwich you have played for a number of years top 9 is beginning to settle down! top 2 well they may have a good run up there till mid January now!
Fair play OS, I felt Cardiff were punching way above their weight early on in the season with their good start, but their proving their worth to be there at the moment.
Supcon, at half time I was getting seriously worried. We were getting nowhere and went 1-0 down just before the break. Must admit I thought we'd been rumbled but I should have had more faith. Warnock made 2 changes at half time and transformed the game. Ralls missed his second penalty or it would have been 4-1, and even that scoreline wouldn't reflect how we outplayed them when it mattered in the second half. Usual complaints from yet another continental "super-manager" about the ref and how "unfair" we were - bloody joke.
Good luck against Middlebough this evening guys - let's close this top 6 down and keep the rest of the buggers out.
Bolton seem to have a second wind! Going to be fun to be a team in the bottom 8 soon! bad news for us Reading SEEM TO BE ON FIRE AS WELL
WELL ...what can you say other than it should have been 3! into third place with space to top 6 and 2 losses and 2 wins for Ipswich 3 losses and 3 wins for Leeds or 4 losses and 3 wins and a draw for Middsbro to put us into 7th! next Friday a real cruncher
