GET THE BALL DOWN

Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:46 pm

Against Sheffield Wednesday as they are a team of tall players.

9 of their expected starting 11 are over 6'1" so we surely must get the ball down and play it on the deck.

Set pieces could be an issue but if we play the ball on the deck I am sure we will win the game.

Lets send DJ home from this part of the world with a resounding City victory :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Sheff wed are piss poor but DJ is bitter so he will rally his troops to give us a difficult game i reckon.

dont think size matters. we have three big guys going up for corners and with whitts' accuracy i can still see us scoring.


We should win however we play, because we are a better team.

We've been great at set pieces this season so I'm not too worried.
With players like Kim Bo, Whitts, Gunnarsson, Mutch in midfield, we really can split there defense apart.

Good job Turner isn't starting if we need to keep it on the floor :lol: :lol:

I was more concerned about them scoring from set pieces, hopefully we will play around them :ayatollah:

A lot of games we have struggled in, we havent been playing the ball on the ground.
This happened in the 2nd half of the Derby game Last week.
Hopefully we keep the ball on the ground tomorrow and I can see us having 3 points, although i dont think it will be an easy game. :ayatollah:

Hopefully we won't miss Nooney too much tomorrow. I think if we really go at Sheff Weds and take the game to them, we can score quite a few goals! :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Cardiff City 3-2 Sheffield Wednesday

Whittingham 2 and Helguson

Bothroyd and Johnson (probably from bench)

:ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Turner, Connolly, Hudson, nugent, mutch, are all over 6ft.
And Helguson can out jump any 6ft player and still get an accurate header away!
That's half our team over 6ft also.
Doesn't bother me that much as we've already defeated some pretty physical big sides at the CCS.

You are right though, against any team we should be looking to play fast attacking football to feet. :ayatollah:
