Match Day Cardiff City V Sheffield Wednesday

[Liam_SWFC]

We go into this game in good form with 5 wins in 7 games on the back of a great away win at Huddersfield on Sunday, confidence should be high heading into this one. However it'll be a tough game as Cardiff have improved a little lately and now Warnock is in charge it will be a closer game, would like 3 points but don't think a draw would be too bad. Expect probably a couple of changes from Saturday maybe Barry Bannan dropping to the bench and Wallace on from the start. Think Fletcher will still be on leave for family matters.

Dropped your two most creative players?

Not often Pudli gets on the score sheet!

Definitely take the point away from home tonight, moves us into the top 6 above Bristol City. Sounds like the free kick Whittingham scored shouldn't have been a free kick, so a bit unlucky there but again we've showed good character to come back and get a point, and my prediction was of course spot on. It's another game though we're we should really have won it with the chances created but we are getting there. Onto a big game at Hillsborough on Saturday against a pretty mediocre QPR.

Enjoyed that, Wednesday one of the better footballing sides in this division which is always good to see. Before the game I'd have taken a draw so happy with the result. Absolute pearler from Whitts to open the scoring, looks like there is still some magic in that left foot of his. Think there may have been a shout for offside in the equaliser but it was chaos in and around the box so very hard to be 100% on it without a replay. Won't get any argument from me that Wednesday more than deserved a draw though.
Forestieri coming on gave Wednesday the extra spark needed to push on and have a go. Was a lot of tippy tappy stuff around the back four and midfield in the first half, without anything really being created.
There is still some work to be done with us, we're still to lightweight in the middle and we need desperately need another option up front. But I more than trust Warnock to sort it out. May well end up being ugly as fuck, but if it means we're competitive i couldn't give a toss.
Though I will say that's twice within a few days I've come away from the ground content with what's gone on. I'm actually starting to enjoy going back down there again!

Finally a massive thanks to the Wednesday fans for the respect with the minutes silence. Something that shouldn't need saying but very few places and people know just how much the whole disaster affected the people of South Wales.

Never in doubt RE Aberfan mate, respect is a massive two way thing. Days after two of my pals died coming back from Coventry in 2006, Corky organized a whip round for the families. You fans and your club remain in my heart. Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear that, no one should ever be going to a football game and never come home. It is times like that where the badge on the shirt doesn't mean a thing.

Also, why don't more teams try this?!
