Match Day Thread Season 2024 - 2025 - Match # 29 - Derby County Home - Winter Is Coming!

Unfortunately there us a gap to the teams above us again. Only 3 teams within one win of us.
It'll be staying in touch rather than moving on up.

Team news - Cardiff City
Cardiff City: Alnwick; Rinomhota, Goutas, Daland, Ng; Chambers, Ralls (c); Robertson, Willock, Ashford, Robinson

Subs: Horvath, Fish, Giles, Siopis, Colwill, El Ghazi, Meite, Pearce, Salech

 

Very attack minded bench which includes Luke Pearce.

Looks like O'Dowda didn't make it, and I just hope Tanner isn't on there for any reason other than his lack of fitness.

 

No Bagan?? Ng switching sides perhaps?

Good to see Robertson back though.

 

Short on bodies shapes the bench

 

Well there's not many shorter than Siopis.

 

Big game today. With Luton losing at home earlier, a win (any sort of win!) would take us 4 points clear of the trap door.

 

At least Omer won't be able to make defensive changes if we go ahead.

 

At half time and I'm glad you said if and not when.

 

Ah well, it was 0-0 at half time here last time against the jacks......................

 

Unimpressive. Second best to every ball. Can't win a thing in the air up front and Ng struggling at left back.

Early call for Salech maybe.

 

We've only had 1 attempt though.
We have been better 2nd half of late.

 

No changes at the start of the 2nd half.

 

We're suddenly having a lot more possession and attempts on goal.

Time to unleash the big man.

 

Woohoo.
Robbo.

 

Yoohoo, make that two.
El Ghazi.

 

Fish on for Robinson. Noooo.
Few defensive options, and he makes a change.

 

That could prove to be a HUGE 3 points.....

2025 invincibles keep rolling on!!

Oh and I believe only 3 points behind our little cousins who were being touted as playoff chasers/contenders just a few weeks ago

Bravo Omer and the boys

 

Happy match day evening my fellow Bloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobirds.
So we win today and moved up the table.

 

Noticeable that when fish came on for Robinson, our possession dropped off a cliff.
Wish he'd stop making those changes.
We saw against the Swans, when we made like for like or similar changes, we saw things out comfortably. Same against Millwall when behind.
These changes unbalance the side and put us under pressure.

Can't complain about the run we're on though.
