The Opposition's Manager - Nigel Pearson

Pearson has been in charge of Bristol City since February 2021.

He has had a number of managerial roles in his career but is probably best known for his second spell in charge at Leicester. He took them to the Premier League and then kept them up with a brilliant run of form at the end of the season. He left that summer but Leicester went on to win the Premier League the following season and many have credited Pearson with laying the foundations for that.


Opposition Dangerous Players

Alex Scott is one of the most promising young players in the Championship in my opinion.

Get yourselves down their Bluebirds

SABRI LAMOUCH: "WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE THE FIREPOWER."


"When you create chances, you need to kill them." "But we didn't score and that's we are the worst attack in the league. We need, absolutely, to work on this situation."

"This is not about bad luck, this is for us to make good and the players to put right."


"You can see why we are the lowest scorers in the league because we need to take more of our chances."

"We need, absolutely, to work on this situation. It's about consistency, during the game and during the season, We "Absolutely, have the firepower." "

"You can't come to places like Norwich, to play the way we played and disturb them if you don't have a minimum quality, We have."

"Just believe, change the mind and be more determined. When you have half a chance you need to score, if not, don't give anything. We can finish the game with a clean sheet."

"But we can't think we are better than what we think."

Is this city team going to be the lowest scoring team in city's history? It doesn't look like we can reach a goal a game unless something of a miracle happens.

I think they'll be unbeaten in 10 games after Saturday. I hope to be wrong but can't really see anything that has changed apart from some more heart and they look happier. 3-1 Carrot Crunchers

I think we will lose as we are simply not good enough,I predict a 1-2 result.

1-0 to Cardiff.....think we have improved and a few players like Kaba and Wickham playing for maybe a longer deal plus McGuiness makes us alot more solid at the back..

Come om Bluebirds !!!!

2 - 0. CW with a brace.

Misery!

Let's hope Not

Sometimes one loss, whoever against, can start a slippery slope TC. Let's hope so.

Sloper Road will be temporarily closed for approximately 20 minutes after the full-time whistle tomorrow.

#CardiffCity fans will be unable to travel along Sloper Road in the direction of Penarth Road during this period.

Apparently - This is the 100th edition of the Severnside derby between CARDIFF CITY & BRISTOL CITY .

C'mon City
BLOOOOOOOOOOOOBIRDS

Bristol City:


Tommy Conway returned to training with the Robins this week, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be risked.

Kai Naismith (calf), Rob Atkinson and Ayman Benarous (ACL) are all out.

What are the odds?

Cardiff City 6/5

Draw 23/10

Bristol City 23/10

Just in town after a busy week and looking forward to this one. I feel the Bluebirds have turned a corner and will heap pressure on those around us with a win today

Both players and support have simply got to be 'up' for this game, so BE LOUD AND BE PROUD!

Cardiff City XI: Allsop; Ng, McGuinness, Kipre; Ojo, Philogene, Sawyers, Ralls (C), Wintle, Kaba, Wickham.

Subs: Alnwick, Romeo, Rinomhota, R.Colwill, Davies, Etete

Ralls very slow, beaten twice

End to end

A looping ball into the box from Philogene lands at the feet of Ralls who brings it down but the chance goes to waste

Down the other end, a shot-turned-cross from Joe Williams is met by Sykes but the Bristol man's header is off target
