Cardiff v Villa pre-match thread

[dave.woodhall]

Two games in quick succession, madman owner, supporters with a bit of a reputation. We’ve been here before haven’t we? They’ve got a new manager in the delightful shape of Neil Warnock, of whom every supporter whose club have just lost to his brand of ball-launching says, “We should have had him” until they realise that whatever else he might do he’s still Neil Warnock. He’s made them a bit better, which wasn’t hard, and he’s still as horrible as ever, which was even easier. We came here a couple of years ago when they were making a cameo appearance in the Premier League and our current dealings with them had better last no longer. The transfer window will have been open for 39 hours by kick-off so they’ll probably have no different players to the home match, but you never know. They’ll probably be in blue but again anything’s possible. These foreign owners…

No matter how better they are under Warnock we’ve still got to win this one, for the good of football of nothing else.

Things newfooty fans don’t know – How Neil Warnock is still in employment.

As much as he appears objectionable he always seems to speak well of us does ol' Warnock. Doesn't like Jack, though.

[Comrade Blitz]

1-2

[olaftab]

0-4 and about time too with  Ayew 🎩 trick.

[Dave P]

2-0 win and Ayew to get injured causing a diplomatic storm between AVFC and Ghana.

[damon loves JT]

Fluky, undeserved, squeaky-bum, play-terribly-and-grind-it-out 5-1 win

I love how we continue to pick big scores despite the incontrovertible evidence we never score more than one goal a game.

You're right. 4-1 then

[Tugby Villain]

I've been to 19 away games.  We won two of the first three. The last sixteen have seen 13 losses and 3 draws.

I'm going on Monday.  We'd better bloody win.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

A comfortable 2-0 Villa win.

[Bad English]

1-3. Westwood 4, 13, 64, 67 (og).

Probably why Jack hobbled off last night - wants the day off on Monday as he knows he will get another kicking.

I've been looking at the predictions here and I just can't see where our goals are going to come from.
Probably no Kodjia, probably no Grealish, a tired Jedinak, a left back who can't defend, Gardner possibly coming in who is clearly not up to the job. Sorry to put a downer on things but I just can't see us performing the way we need to, to get a win
