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

[TDAGlobal Superstar]

This one really is the "must-in" game we have all been fearing.......

OGS has hinted the 3 - 5 - 2 formation might be persisted with. Even at home against a team as poor as we have been, I think this is sound reasoning. I can see City winning this one..may be too little too late, but I dread to think what the rest of our season holds if we lose....................

Thought we acquitted ourselves well against Spurs even if they were a little underpar. We're due some luck, a penalty and a win and I will take all three in an optimistic 2-1 to City prediction.

Last time I predicted a 4-0 game it was the Hull game

I've actually got a ticket for today's game

So I wont be contributing to the official match thread as much as I normally would but please make one someone!

[Caldi BlueCaptain of Country]

I'm going to go 3-3, although this is purely for sentimental reasons as Cardiff v Fulham on 28/04/1990 was my first ever game and it ended...3-3! Being just six years of age though, I can't remember any of the game.

[TDAGlobal Superstar]

Hi Caldi, good to see you here again!

Six goals in your first match is pretty memorable, even if you were young. However, I can better that because my first match was City v Middlesbro, May 1966 and City won 5 - 3.

I'd like to see an offensive team today.
Use Zaha and Daehli for their creativity, and give Jones a chance to get the high balls.
Go out and give 'em hell!

Caulker Cala Turner

Fabio Daehli Medel Mutch Zaha

Campbell Jones


With Noone, Kim and John as the prioritized substitutes   

[TDAGlobal Superstar]

Nice thought, but perhaps a bit weak defensively on the left flank!

[Tans TacheNational Legend]

Im hoping we go all out and score an early goal and keep pressing, rather than sitting back in typical city fashion

[f-spotFirst Team Regular]

Nice thought, but perhaps a bit weak defensively on the left flank!

That's true. But with hardworking Medel and Much in the defensive role i think it could work.
I wanna see some goals today. No matter how many goals Fulham score, Cardiff will have 2 more

[Tans TacheNational Legend]

If five at the back is the way forward I don't really ever are Zaha fitting in unless he starts getting involved defensively as well. It's hard for a wingback to be a wingback when he can't trust the left winger to cover him. I'd still say Bellamy left wing, as no one can doubt his ability to track back.
