MATCH THREAD “ CARDIFF CITY v BRISTOL CITY “ MATCH THREAD

Team News

Bristol City will remain without long-term absentees: Jens Hegeler, Callum O’Dowda, Eros Pisano and Ivan Lulic, although Gary O’Neil’s return to competitive football is close after playing 70 minutes in an u23s fixture last Friday against Cardiff City but is unexpected to feature this weekend.

Midfielder Marlon Pack will miss the game also after picking his tenth yellow card in the last game and as result, is suspended for this Sunday’s game.

Neil Warnock injury update:

"Sean Morrison is not as bad as first thought and could play on Sunday"

“ Callum Paterson isn’t training yet,” revealed Warnock.

"I don’t know if he’ll be okay for Sunday or not.

“He will definitely be okay for Brentford, I think. It’s not a serious thing, the bruising’s just come out and It’s just a matter of pain threshold for him, nothing serious, it’s his ankle. I don’t know about that until tomorrow.”

Emergency ward 10 , as Warnock labelled his team’s injury situation, is starting to look a little busier and at the worst possible time as Cardiff continue their resurgence from a disastrous winter period.

However, there is some good news with Gary Madine and Craig Bryson coming through substitute appearances against Ipswich without any relapses.


And long-term absentee Aron Gunnarsson is taking his first steps towards recovery ahead of his scheduled return in April, though Lee Peltier replaces him in the treatment room.

“Gunnarsson was training on the grass yesterday,” revealed the veteran boss.

“We’re pleased with his progress, which is another plus. Bryson has reported no after effects, neither has Gary Madine. They’re getting on alright. Peltier is out for a month, a minimum of a month.”

If we win it will take a collapse bigger than Preston year to miss out on playoffs,? as be 13points clear of 7th place

3-1 ccFc I hate Bristol city more than the jacks (just)

I think a win tomorrow will almost secure a play off place. Fifteen points is a lot to claw back when there are only twelve games left. Nothing guaranteed, but three points will be a big step towards securing a play off place at the very least.

Those two tables really confused me until I realised Sunderland scored a late late equaliser!

This from the bbc sums the game up so far.

YELLOW CARD

Cardiff City 0-0 Bristol City

Cardiff midfielder Greg Halford picks up a booking for a rather poor challenge on Joe Bryan, catching the wide man on the shit.

As expected the Wurzels are going for it. Hope we catch them out.

Yes Zohore

Yes Zohore

Caught them out Annis

1-0 FT so everyone breath a sigh of relief. It is what we deserved.

I doubted NW's selection today - never again!!

After this revenge result against the wurzels and the way we are grinding out clean sheet winning results and the kind of results our rivals are achieving at the moment - Derby can't buy a win, Villa erratic and Wolves hitting what seems to be a real glitch - I believe automatic is on the cards and 1st place may not yet be beyond us!! Yes - Fulham are playing well but our fate is well and truly in our hands - let's enjoy the ride and get down the CCS and give NW and his team the support their SUPREME efforts deserve!

In Warnock and the boys we trust!!

Huge win today .

How far up the arse did Halford kick him?
