Hopefully he’ll be back and that should mean the first double going to Swansea.
All being equal, IMO Swansea are a better side than Cardiff.
If both teams play to their maximum ability on Saturday then 0-2 it will be.

If everybody is fit and we play like we did second half v WBA then I'm confident. The unknown here is the problem, by that I mean the manager.
If he persists with fannying around in our own half I reckon we'll get done 3-0. Cardiff will be up for this and they will close us down very quickly and pepper us with long balls.
Those are our big weaknesses. We are pedestrian going forward but then too slow to recover and we ALWAYS, ALWAYS gift the oppo 2-3 good chances. When we do get forward we are far too often, easily beaten by the long ball because we are also slow getting back.
I've got us down in an accumulator, to win, but I'm operating more in hope than expectation. I have us to win 2-1.
On a side note, BET365 gave me another free fiver on the horses at Donny, left me 20 quid better off. Seems some bookies are mugs. I get a free fiver every week on the EPL.
Does anybody expect that Martin will pick all our players in their best positions? Honestly now, how many of us are confident going into this derby? The best thing about it is we can't have the double done against us.
On an upside, I won't be there so we will have a better chance of winning. My mate, who hasn't missed many of these won't be there either so its probably 3-0 to us  | | | |

This is true and more swans fans are becoming more disillusioned, but an internet poll is just that and I’m certain from the people I know away from these types of platforms that he ‘possibly’ has the majority on his side. |  |

Although the internet is an excellent platform for people to express their views, it is only a specific "type" who post and offer their opinion. This can differ and often does from the majority of supporters. Just because things are posted on a forum it is not necessarily a true reflection, often it is only their opinion, unless it comes from a reliable source. |  | | |

The OP maybe right but Downes is going to have to stay on the pitch to be that influential. I have my doubts that he will. His ‘enthusiasm’ is sometimes a little excessive. |  |

How can anyone be "confident"
We see bizarre selection and players played all over the place. Mtcham ,a terrific skilful but slow player playing wide,Piroe-a ballsout striker playing God Know where and Downes being told to play where he does at CH when we signed a player in the window who is a CH -but apparently he's not good enough.
If Fisher is anything like what he has been ,they will win 3-1 as he will be vulnerable to every corner and free kick they take. This could be a black day for us but I hope it's not.
It's very disappointing not to be on BT or Sky but it shows how our reputations have fallen so quickly. | |

How can anyone be confident when we don't know which swans team will turn up on the day?
The only hope we have is that being a derby the payers will be up for it, although they are mostly not local lads. | | | |

These will be the English ,people many of our fans insult regularly .
Without the English players, we d have a team alright but TNS ain’t what we should be aiming for.
I’m the “ type” of poster that likes wins,success,glory even. Bustard aren’t I.
At least this board won’t be quiet Saturday night. It ll be either…”where are you Martin haters now “ or those of us utterly piddled off with matters as they stand .
Russ will enjoy it all though,no matter the result .
He will lead the mutual hand clapping whist our capital cousins slap their heads . | |

The key to beating Cardiff is scoring more goals than them, if we can manage that i have no doubt we would win the game. | | | |

Best to shoot at goal really and try for one of those goal thingies.
We will have ,Id suggest 70% possession in this game.
That would suggest a 5-0 thrashing -for most teams . | |

Agreed.
Downs is key to not being at the fulcrum if we are to hope for anything against a front-foot Cardiff.
This is the only way Downs is key. Get him out of the 'thinking middle' in a local derby.
Cardiff will blast through a Downs-Grimes pivot.
(Downs simply sweeps deeper behind Grimes - a total non-entity, in so many ways. Play the maximising Grimes-Fulton axis in the mid-space. Simplz, as heck. Fulton and Grimes is a far more effective and efficient duo, with Fults pushing into the 8, even 10 space.
Downs is superfluous in this capacity. Either play him instead of Naughts as sweeper or wide right in place of calamitous Cabango.)
This is the only way Downs is key.
Get League 1 Downs out of the 'thinking middle' in a local derby. | |
