It looks like Isaak Davies unlikely to feature for City before the World Cup


Mahlon Romeo and Perry Ng both doubts for Rotherham


Callum Robinson will miss the clash for the hosts after getting sent off against Swansea City last weekend. This will be the first of his three-match ban.

Perry Ng and Mahlon Romeo have both been back training but Mark Hudson remains doubtful over whether either will be available for the Millers clash. Rubin Colwill (hip-flexor) is also a doubt, Ebou Adams (pectoral muscle) is the same, while Isaak Davies (knee) is unlikely to feature before the World Cup.

Jamilu Collins remains a long-term absentee.






CCFC LATEST UPDATE:


Isaak Davies is back in full training

Callum Robinson suspended for 3 games.



Perry Ng looks like he will return after his knock.

So another one to monitor. It’s not too bad. He is on his way back. We will have to see how he progresses in the next day or so.

Rubin Colwill expected to make the bench.



Striker Kion Etete is back and fully fit and score v Colchester



The Opposition's Manager - Matt Taylor

Taylor was appointed Rotherham manager earlier this month, following Paul Warne's departure to take the Derby job.

He was previously in charge of Exeter, where he got promoted from League Two last season after finishing second.

Opposition Dangerous Players

Tom Eaves and Conor Washington are likely to lead their attack

2-1 Bloooobirds as long as we don't get a red card.

2-1 Bloooobirds as long as we don't get a red card.

Surely not 3 games on the trot for a red card, it can’t happen

What about Romeo is he still out

If we lose this then the club has to act quickly on getting a new manager before we are well and truly fucccked

Nice omen their manager have seen our last two games!

We Need A Big Performance

Shane Ferguson is a doubt for Rotherham United’s trip to Cardiff City on Saturday after missing Tuesday evening’s draw at Coventry City.

Forward Chiedozie Ogbene is also unlikely to feature for the Millers, with manager Matt Taylor targeting the game against Burnley next Wednesday for his comeback.

Callum Robinson will miss the clash for the hosts after getting sent off against Swansea City last weekend. This will be the first of his three-match ban.

Cardiff City have lost their last three league matches, all without scoring. The Bluebirds last suffered four defeats in a row without scoring was in September and October 2021 (five in a row).

HARRIS LEADS THE ATTACK PLUS NG IS BACK

Don’t see where the goals are coming from
Neil’s as a full back is career suicide for Hudson unless we are on the front foot all game

Rotherham United XI: Johansson; Peltier, Wood (C), Humphreys; Harding, Wiles, Barlaser, Rathbone, Bramall; Kelly, Washington.

Subs: Vickers, McCart, Norton-Cuffy, Lindsay, Odoffin, High, Eaves.

Two sides who don't strike well doesn't bode well for a good game but if the Bluebirds step it up from the off, this is a game we can win

Goal... no! Offside!

Oh, lovely play from Cardiff. Harris with a great reverse pass to O'Dowda, who returns the favour. Harris hits it low and hard, first time, and Johansson parries into Ojo's path. Ojo taps home but the official flags for offside!

Almost a dream start.

A great move down the left from Harris sees the ball sent across goal. The ball is beaten away and Ojo is on the spot to slide the balk into the net; only for the offside flag to go up

A positive start though and the Bluebirds look 'up' for this game...

LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 0 ROTHERHAM UNITED

Sang delivers a nice cross, but Johansson gathers cleanly, with strikers looking pounce.

Stadium looks so empty

Cardiff break and Sang is played in down the right, but he overhits his cross by some way. Millers can reset with a throw-in.
