Rotherham VS Cardiff Match Day Thread

[Tans TacheNational Legend]

City Sold 670 so far

Cardiff City will start with the same side that has started the last 4 games

City players still out Kiko Macheda, Ben Turner and Idriss Saadi.
Ben Turner (ankle) and Federico Macheda (back) are still out but are expected back in training within a few weeks.

Bruno Manga has been in agony and has injections to treat shoulder ligament damage.
Manga continues to see a specialist,but despite this is expected to be at least on the bench v Rotherham tomorrow.

Last season's Player of the Year, Bruno Ecuele Manga, is on standby if the Englishman fails to pass a fitness test, while Scott Malone, Craig Noone and Sammy Ameobi will all be desperate for a start

Likely Line Ups

Rotherham United: Lee Camp; Lewis Buxton, Danny Collins, Farrend Rawson, Joe Mattock; Chris Maguire, Lee Frecklington (capt), Richard Smallwood, Joe Newell; Johnson Clarke-Harris, Matt Derbyshire.

Cardiff City: David Marshall (capt); Lee Peltier, Sean Morrison, Matt Connolly, Fabio; Anthony Pilkington, Kagisho Dikgacoi, Peter Whittingham, Joe Ralls; Joe Mason, Kenwyne Jones.

Anyway im going for a Cardiff win - 3-1 IF we lose.... slade can pack his bags and f**k off

If City don't win this game, then questions will be asked about how serious the club is about gaining promotion, or at least how capable the management is of mounting a challenge.

3-1 Rotherham

And the Club is not serious about promotion.

I think we're destined to be mid table this season. So, a draw for me.

So, that sounded interesting. We appeared to be in control without anything happening until  the 40 minute mark when Marshall reacted to Matt Derbyshire flicking him in the back of the head by kicking out at him. Straight red, possible further ban for violent conduct and Rotherham convert to make it 1-0. Three minutes later Fabio is tugged down in the other box, the referee books the wrong player but Whittingham converts to make it 1-1 into half time.

I love football.

Marshall really irresponsible for the second time in just a few games.

[Tyrion TannisterGlobal Superstar]

I was abou to say he appears to have one massive c*ck up a season recently. A couple of pointless sending offs these last two seasons, and that silly pass back that he picked up in our winning championship season near the end. Now, as you say, he's had two this season already.

He lost us this match. Sickening way to lose in the end - a deflection from a cross in the 90th minute - but we if we still had eleven men I think we would of run them ragged. The decision to lose Mason and not Ameobi during the red card was highlighted too as a curious one.

He may have been instrumental in this defeat, but the team and manager as a whole are just not good enough to be a top 10 side.
Check out the next few games and you'll see there won't be many points gained.

My belief is that the players are good enough to be top six at the end of the season, but molding them into a team good enough to do that is probably beyond the present management structure and that is what is so frustrating.

[Tyrion TannisterGlobal Superstar]

I think on our day we MAY be a top 6 side, but we're definetely a top ten. The last two results have demonstrated the level to which we have been riding out luck recently however. It's exactly as I said, we were doing well but couldn't actually figure out why - now we've crashed with a bang.

I feel disappointed at the result losing to a team who r shite, (we always lose to teams who r on losing streaks) Marshall being a div and lashing out but saying that there player was just at fault for grabbing Marshall,

Next up Charlton and they say things come in threes so I'm expecting a loss
