**Official Pre-Match Thread - Palace v City**

Wahey!.......just like being back in the Championship.....two games in a week......... 

I think Malky has to go for it more tomorrow and maybe we'll see a start for Bellamy instead of Cowie. I can't imagine that he will abandon the 4-5-1 just yet, so Campbell to start for me, with maybe a longer run-out for Cornelius if things are going well.

Whitts was well below his best on Wednesday, but has played really well against Palace in the past. He's got to get the set-pieces sorted out.....they should be second nature to him, so I just don't know what was wrong against Stoke.......

.......anyway, time to get firmly behind our boys and I predict a 2 - 0 win........ 

I think it will be another boring game - I think we have only scored in the first half in two games so far this season.

1-0 City - late second half goal from a messy set piece.

Come on Malky - prove us all wrong that you are a clueless when it comes to offensive football.

Tough boring win for City  

What I have seen of Palace so far is that they play an open attacking game, which equally leaves them open to the counter-attack, where we would stuff them, given the right team selection.

Don't know how much Pullis can change things in a week........

Think this is the last time I will predict a Cardiff win unless things change 2-1 Cardiff...Maybe It won't be!

3-1Cardiff, I think we will be too much for palace,

I'd start Wilson in goal.

We're going to batter them. 4 - 1 to City.

I hope so  

I am pretty conservative though and on that basis I'm sticking with a very close, tough win for City in the hope I'm proven wrong and we stuff them!

I woke up feeling rough, and I'm rapidly declining into man flu that's making me want to shrivel up and die in the corner of work. A Cardiff result always affects my mood but this one is now particularly significant - I'm not sure my weakened immune state could take another result like Wednesdays. Basically, my potential death is in Malky's hands.

I thought a point against Stoke was alright...
