    Brum struggling lately after a good start. Haven't won any of their last 4 home games and lost there to both Huddersfield and Charlton on their own patch this past month so you'd think we should get a result.

    Trouble is when I look at a fixture I tend to look the managers involved. No doubt in my mind that Rowatt can get the best out of what he's got and back him to turn a bad run around at some point - it could be tonight. I said much the same about McCarthy before the Ipswich game when they were ****e at the time and had dropped into the bottom half - we scraped a draw across there. He's got them firing again and they've gone above us - I wouldn't be surprised if the same doesn't happen tonight with Brum.

    Better managers than Slade in this division wont go up this year - Mowatt may be one of them and if so should be a serious target for Tan.

    City's players must be knackered after that goal fest in the CCS mud.

    It is a typical Championship fixture where each result is a distinct possibility.

    I just don't know what to expect TBH. I recall going up there in our promotion season on NYD, and saw a terrible game of football which City won with a very streaky goal by Mason. I would take the same again!

    I don't know if has even mentioned before regarding the Brentford game. The second goal was conceded following a corner, the corner was awarded, and before it was taken, Cardiff amazingly made a substation, o golden rule broken surely? I read this today from Slade

    "We conceded from a set-play which is unlike us on Tuesday evening, I think we’ve only conceded four all season from set-pieces, but we conceded from a corner"

    WTF? :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Not being picky, well I am really, but their first goal was from a corner where Gunnar, not Peltier as I said in a previous post, lost his man. Morrison was off their pace for their second.

    However wtf is a valid comment anyway.

    Great Pink Floyd lyric. Malone in for Fabio. Not sure of that as Fabs had Gray in his pocket last time we played them. Time will tell.

    suppose the guys who travelled might say 'wish you were here' because they have 'high hopes'. And 'one of these days' we'll hold on to a 2-0 lead.
    I'm sure we could go on. They produced some great lyrics.

    not a good time to concede. We seem to have had the better of the game so far as well.

    One of theses days we might get a decision. Referee needs to get on his 'bike' and set the controls for the heart of the sun. He looks like a scarecrow.

    lol.

    63% possession and we're losing.

    Given we're losing with 80 mins gone, wouldn't you expect the manager to change something? Use a sub maybe?

    Two poor teams in a very poor league.
    If these are the 7th and 8th best teams in the division it must be a weak league.

    Jones was awful. No control and couldn't be bothered to chase the second ball.
