' CARDIFF CITY '

Joe Mason is hoping to start,but will def be on the bench.

Cardiff City have No new injuries

Ben Turner was talked about returning on Saturday but that didn't happen, his quicker than anticipated return from damaged ankle ligaments could mean he's back in the squad.

Federico Macheda and Alex Revell could also return after missing the Reading draw but Kagisho Dikgacoi and Anthony Pilkington aren't as fortunate.

Dikgacoi's insistence that he would return in February or March, certainly this season, isn't looking too likely is it!


' BOLTON '
Bolton will definitely be without Adam Le Fondre as he can't play against us under the terms of his loan. Emile Heskey is likely to come in.

Injury will again keep out Mark Davies with season ending injuries of varying types ruling out Marc Tierney, Max Clayton, Zach Clough and David Wheater.

Preview

Bolton Wanderers Football Club is an English professional football club based in Bolton. The club currently competes in the 2014–15 Championship, having been relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2011–12 season, after finishing 18th.

The club was formed as Christ Church Football Club in 1874, and adopted its current name in 1877. Founder members of the Football League, Bolton have spent the highest number of seasons of any club in the top flight without winning the title (the 2011–12 season was their 73rd, non-consecutive year in the top flight). The closest they have come to the title is third in the First Division on three occasions (1891–92, 1920–21 and 1924–25). As of 2014, the club has spent more seasons in the top division than any other club outside the current Premier League.

Bolton were a successful cup side in the 1920s, winning the FA Cup three times. The club won the cup a fourth time in 1958. A leaner spell followed, reaching a nadir in 1987 when the club spent a season in the Fourth Division. The club regained top-flight status in 1995 after a 15-year absence. In a period of relative success, the club qualified for the UEFA Cup twice, reaching the last 32 in 2005–06 and the last 16 in 2007–08.

The club played at Burnden Park for 102 years from 1895. In 1997 it moved out of town to the Reebok Stadium, named after long-term club sponsor Reebok. The stadium was renamed the Macron Stadium from July 2014 after the club's new sponsor.

3-1.

2-0

4-0

2-1

Alf can't play!

Everything points towards a convincing home win.So I'm going for 0-0!

City have no new injuries

3-1 Mason will score for us!

3-2 City

1-1 bore draw

The sooner this drab season finishes the better

3-0 with Mason getting 1.

The turnaround in mighty quick with the Saturday game at Reading followed up with a return to the Cardiff City Stadium this Easter Monday with Bolton the visitors as we look to maintain our unbeaten run, which we kept going with a last minute equaliser in our 1-1 draw at the Madejski Stadium.

Ben Turner was talked about returning on Saturday but that didn't happen, his quicker than anticipated return from damaged ankle ligaments could mean he's back in the squad.

Federico Macheda and Alex Revell could also return after missing the Reading draw but Kagisho Dikgacoi and Anthony Pilkington aren't as fortunate.

Dikgacoi's insistence that he would return in February or March, certainly this season, isn't looking too likely is it!

Bolton will definitely be without Adam Le Fondre as he can't play against us under the terms of his loan. Emile Heskey is likely to come in.

Injury will again keep out Mark Davies with season ending injuries of varying types ruling out Marc Tierney, Max Clayton, Zach Clough and David Wheater.

The Bluebirds would have something to cheer if we could end the season without another defeat, with us currently four unbeaten. I'll be surprised if we can do this but would be disappointed if we don't at least draw this one on Monday to in some way make up for the 3-0 defeat at the Macron Stadium in November.

1 1 yes bore draw

The sooner this drab season finishes the better

That's how i and many others feel.

1-0 probably score from a set-piece

2-1 City. I hope Russ and Paul have a plan 'B' today as we can't go route one again now that Kenwyn's gone. I thought this would of been the case at Reading but alas I was wrong.
