Apologies but didn't know where to put this so went for this thread.

Enjoy reading other sides forums before we play them and have posted once or twice here before.

Just thought I's give you the low-down.

As you can see our side basically picks itself, except for two places in the midfield, given we are away I suspect Dave Edwards who I presume you know will play and there will be a lot of fluidity from Sako, Dicko and Afobe who are the chief threats.

Sako is one of the best players in the league (on his day!) and Afobe has started excellently well for us and is a good finisher, Dicko is speed and power and to be honest I love watching Wolves players who possess so much pace.

Despite the last two score lines we have been awful at home in front of goal and this is mainly because sides sit deep and we can't utilise this pace to get in behind.

So contrary to what the last two results say, we are probably better set up away as you will be on the front foot and we can counter (If we play Van la Parra he is another lightning quick winger) and can be devastating.

Also the Rotherham game was 5-0 but it should have ended about 7-5, only disgraceful finishing from them made it look a hammering and again against Fulham the stats show an even game, so don't be fooled into thinking we are clicking into some sort of great form, quite simply you will get chances but we now have so many threats that if one or two click we can get goals.

Our last away game was at Norwich and quite simply we lost to the better team, they controlled the game and nullified us, a resounding 2-0 victory.

So yeah dont look at the last two games and take that view, we are an unpredictable side but if you give us space and time to counter we have so much pace we can be brilliant however you will also certainly get chances as our centre midfield are unpredictable.

Another note is that you probably haven't heard of our young RB Iorfa, he just got voted Young Player of the Month for the division and he is someone we have high hopes for and is a big threat from RB as he is another who will run (quickly) all day down the flank although his final ball is not yet consistent enough.

I predict a 2-2 and a lively day.

Finally, I see a lot mentioned about the 2,000 we are bringing as though it's a big deal, do most sides not sell out?
Also I know a lot has gone on between the clubs off the pitch, is it anywhere near like it was at NP?

Cardiff v Wolves
Saturday, February 28, Cardiff City Stadium, 3pm

Likely line-ups
Cardiff (4-4-2): Marshall, Connolly, Manga, Morrison, Ralls, Gunnarsson, Whittingham, Kennedy, Noone, Doyle, Jones

Wolves (4-4-2): Kuszczak, Iorfa, Batth, Steadman, Goldbourne, Price, Edwards, McDonald, Sako, Dicko, Afobe

Team news
Cardiff City: Full-backs Lee Peltier, Scott Malone and Fabio all sat out Tuesday’s win at Wigan. Manager Russell Slade says Peltier, who is suffering with a calf strain, is 50/50 for Saturday, and says Fabio is the closest of the three to a return. Malone will definitely miss the game with the hamstring injury he picked up at Huddersfield and, having kept a clean sheet at the DW Stadium, it seems unlikely the Bluebirds boss will gamble with changes.

Wolves: Defender Scott Goldbourne is suffering with a foot injury but manager Kenny Jackett is expecting him to take his place in the team so he can name and unchanged 11 from the 3-0 win against Fulham in midweek. Striker Bakary Sako has been suffering with a stomach illness this week but is also expected to play.

With Wolves on a confident run, maybe they could underestimate us a little and we could get a shock result today?

3-1 city :shock:

Very attacking bench lets hope we don't get any defensive worries

Back down to earth.

We had most of the possession only to go behind against the run of play.

Then we decide not to play. Then Whittingham gets sent off.

Don't look like getting back into it although Wolves are not going for it which you think they would.

Twice chances cleared off the line.

Frustrating.
