    Doris had this down for a reversal, but how can you predict against city after the display on Saturday...can they carry it on for this match? I once saw SU score six against us at NP back in the day, Tony Woodward ran us ragged that day...he's not playing, so going for a draw!

    (Courtesy of BBC Sport)
    Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock may start Lee Tomlin against Sheffield United as the Championship leaders aim for three wins out of three.

    The attacker was among the Bluebirds' substitutes in their 3-0 win against Aston Villa on Saturday.

    Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has no new injury concerns ahead of the trip to South Wales.

    The Blades' 20-game unbeaten run was ended with defeat by Middlesbrough, their first loss since January.

    Match facts
    • Cardiff have only managed a victory in one of their last five Championship home games against Sheffield United (D2 L2), with the last two meetings ending 1-1.
    • However, the Welsh outfit have only lost one of their last eight league encounters against the Blades (W3 D4).
    • Neil Warnock is set to meet his former club Sheffield United for the eighth time since he left them in 2007; he's lost only one of those seven meetings (W3 D3), a 2-0 defeat as Crystal Palace manager in December 2009.
    • Cardiff have won both of their opening two games to a league season for the first time since 2011-12 - the Bluebirds have never won their first three games of a league season in their entire history.
    • Sheffield United's Billy Sharp has scored just 12 goals in his 61 Championship appearances since the start of 2013-14 - this compared to 51 goals in 90 League One appearances over the last two seasons.

    There was a young dude from Aber,
    who said if I see Doris, "I'll grab 'er,
    I'll show her my inch, my inch and a 'alf,
    If she shows me her ticket...I'll 'ave 'er!

    Would agree. United were a much tougher prospect than Villa were. Wilder had them well drilled and they did the basics unlike Villa. Thought we were lucky in the end to keep a clean sheet. Reassuringly that was all quelled once the Swiss Army Knife was brought on.

    The keeper looks alright if prone to a gaff. Sol Bamba for the most unorthodox defending possible? Think Jazz needs to up his game if he wants a place in the team, if Sheffield had better wingers they probably would have been able to exploit his poor defending (Although he did improve in the 2nd half) Liked the look of Lee the Wurzel <ok>

    Different game to Villa but the same result in the end. Not so fluid last night but right on the money when it counted. Tomlin looked good and will get better.

    No easy games in this division but in all honesty I think we've played 3 poor teams so far - and that includes Villa who I thought were crap. The fact remains you can do no more than beat them, and beat them we did.

    Next up Wolves will be a real tester. One thing we know is Warnock's teams won't roll over. I suspect they maybe more frightened than us about losing their 100% record, and that could well be in our favour. Respect for the opposition is not the same as fear of them - I doubt City fear anyone at the moment.
