    We've signed two strikers but they still have the best striker in the league.

    I worry that if they do turn us over there will be a mass overreaction from our fans. We're playing two promotion candidates either side of a relegation one. Impossible to grasp how good we actually are from that.

    I think the game could go either way. Hopefully we will have a better crowd as 12k against palace was poor. If we can sell out and get behind the team anything is possible.
    I guess it will be interesting to see if the same 11 will start or if he makes changes. Just hope he keeps the formation

    The result is almost irrelevant. Cardiff has lost the respect of the average football fan over their change into Franchise FC. The fans have just laid back and taken it because of a promise of investment to get into the Premier League and as a result the Cardiff Red Dragons won't receive anywhere near the same kind of support going up that the likes of Norwich, Southampton, Swansea, Blackpool and co have received from fans on promotion.

    We may lose to a superior side, but football is on our side and we'll be the team that everyone wants to win. Cardiff sold out and no amount of success will allow them to live that down.

    Saturday will show how far we have come against a decent side in Cardiff.

    Play like we did Tuesday and i believe there will be one winner and that is us.

    Still early days yet lads. The new boys may need time to settle.

    We were great on Tuesday.. but Palace were very poor. I'm always nervous when we play Cardiff and even though I prefer to keep things positive... I'd be happy with a draw on Saturday.

    I am worried that some of our fans will make the age old mistake, of seeing us score more than 2 in a game.. To then believe that weve become world beaters over night. I'm excited by the squad Del is putting together but the club is going through a major re-build.. As fans, we do need to give them time.

    Agree-but the bar was raised Tuesday with a very good and controlled game of football,I really fancy us to do something,I have said on many posts i believe we could be a dark horse.

    A draw would be fine but we should go into the game thinking we will win. We are the home team and have to make AG a place where teams come to play to try and stop us. We've been poor at home for the past 2 seasons.

    Whilst the colour change is hard to take for real Cardiff fans, the fact that they have a seemingly bright future is sonething that many would trade colours for. Not too long ago they were in the same boat as Portsmouth, Plymouth, Port Vale and others and I, for one, would have been upset to see a great club like Cardiff go that way. We can have great banter against them for all manner of reasons but they are and will always be a fine club. Cardiff, as a capital city, deserves a top level team. We just need to strive to be better than them. We also deserve a top levcel team but it has to be earned.

    2-0 to City would do nicely.....
