After the midweek win against Crystal Palace Bristol City will be looking for back to back home wins but this may prove difficult as Cardiff city have yet to concede in the league so far this season. There is no injury concerns for the Robins but the arrival of Sam Baldock mid week will give Derek McInnes something to think about when selecting his strikers. Malky Mackay has also added to his already fairly strong Cardiff side with the double arrival of QPR's Tommy Smith and Matthew Connolly. They are both thought to be in the squad to face Bristol City at Ashton Gate tomorrow.

Last Time We Met

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17243524
Cardiff City returned to the play-off places after two own goals damaged Bristol City's hopes of survival.​

Fans are reminded the walkway behind the Wedlock will be closed after the game, Although you can wait for it to re open but it could be some time

Shinys Prediction 0-0

 

Sorry it took so long to put up and the quality of the threads will get better as the season goes on

 

I think they will now be known as the Redbirds..

 

wrong, it's dragons.

 

Always the Bluebirds to us .;O)

Comfy win for Cardiff City 2-0 will Bellers and Witts free kick smashing the net .

How many away tickets you given usa this time?
Away in France still and used to luv me trips to Trashton Gate and a KFC outside ...;O)

Good luck to both teams ..............

 

1800 was your allocation and you've sold out

 

Could have sold 5000 no prob ,is that your away ends capacity thn?

 

Wedlock can hold 5,500 we have 1,000 in there so i should imagine the remaining seats are what separates the fans

 

"wrong, it's dragons"

Yeah I know...but I like redbirds.

"Could have sold 5000 no prob"

Yeah, we heard you have no problem 'selling out'

 

The Real reds are a totally different animal to the team Franchise have faced in their previous guise yet they are underestimating us (or should that be their delusions of grandeur). I can see the rejuvinated cidereds' lowering the Malaysian flag with a performance unexpected by our visitors.

BCFC 3- soul sold Franchise 1

Wooly, Taylor, Balders for us, couldn't care less who gets theirs!

U REDS

 

And we seem to be underestimating them, we've had 1 good result against a very poor side, this time we're playing one of the best, a win is unlikely

 

^^^^^^^^^^ This.

We've got a good side Shiney, but we haven't got it together properly just yet. You could be playing us at the right time mate.

Our opener against Huddersfield was a nervy affair, but we got the win. We had a better game against a very good Brighton side and came back with a point. Signs are that the new arrivals are beginning to gel.

If we do click today with the quality we've got in the squad now, you'll be fortunate to get a point.

 

"you'll be fortunate to get a point"

Well, we will see, no excuses if you do lose then....

 

I don't do excuses banksy - I leave that to you. You had to make quite a few all through last season.......

Typical selective quoting from you there mate. You left out the first part of my sentence which puts a whole different slant on what I said.

 

This should be a good game, Wurzels confident after beating a very poor Palarse side, we are starting to get it together, if we get enough ball to Bellers and Whitts it could be over as a contest inside the first 30 mins. Time to douse your false hope i think.

 

i suspect malky will not want us to go all out for the 5-0 or 6-0 but i forsee a resounding win.

bristol are crap and we are probably the best team in the division, its that simple. almost as simple as someone from bristol

 

Let's see what the score is at full time,swamp I think your in for a big shock matey.
We are not the side of last season

 

Neither are we

 

lets see lol, never trash talked before a game so much in my life
