Can't afford any complacency today. After all, they did finish above us last season. And we mustn't be sucked in by them lowering their own expectations. Hope we get off to a blistering start that keeps the home crowd loud and proud. For you Bluebirds going to the game, please give them a shout for me. Bloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobirds
Cardiff City XI: Alnwick; Ng, Goutas, McGuinness, O'Dowda; Wintle, Adams; Bowler, Ramsey, Grant; Ugbo. Subs: Luthra, Simpson, Romeo, Collins, Rinomhota, Tanner, Robinson, R. Colwill, Etete.
Watch out for Andre Dozzell. Blink and you’ll miss him as he’s never anywhere near the ball. Armstrong starts for us- lethal pace and strong but not sure he’s actually a footballer.
Forget the near salvation of a point, City were terrible for 70 minutes. Too many players had bad games - O Dowda, Grant, Wintle. It’s just like last season at home - they need to learn how to start a game. Even though we gifted them 2 goals, QPR deserved to win,a draw would have just papered over the cracks.
Is it me or is this new rule not working? - where the players are just getting away with time wasting - not getting booked? Especially their keeper!! I’m not really sure what Wintle brings to the team? Everytime he seems to have the ball he’s always looking for players which slows the tempo of the game? O’Dowda - got absolutely kippered in the LB position! Don’t think this is his position! On a positive note - I feel Tanner & Colwill did well when they came on!!
Without being cheeky, can I just say thank you very much, that was a totally unexpected 3 points. Hopefully for you just a blip, because if we finish above you again this season that could be very scary indeed.
