2-0 CITY !!!

I know it won't happen but I'd like to see bbm name the same 11 from yesterday we just looked on it for the whole game

Wycombe are a funny side,frustrating to watch,3 points please cardiff.

I have selected a Cardiff win, but it may not be easy like at Exeter.
Recent results for Wycombe are quite decent and they could prove a stubborn side to beat.
We need to start on the front foot and continue throughout to ensure the victory
And please, no silly defensive errors.

Osho and Lawlor are ball playing centre backs and I’d much prefer watching this than some of our past players like Ben Turner who’s first thought was to welly it up the pitch regardless.

Mistakes will happen occasionally with this type of football but I think it’s great.

Totally agree, no secret that I'm a big fan of Osho. We all know that Lawlor is a huge talent.

Like you said, mistakes happen but we play better when of these two or both play because of their passing and ball carrying abilities.

Osho was brilliant Saturday his ball through the lines to Ashford for rubins second goal was ridiculous, I'd like to see him and Lawlor play the last 9 games now if possible

Wycombe Wanderers have Sold 250 Tickets for tomorrow night / But they can pay on the night

I was ' nt saying to hoof it I like all 3 players but my heart skips a beat when defenders try to be Messi and goalkeepers they have the confidence to twist and turn but I am more used to it this season than any other in the last 10 years.

Night games difficult for me and wasn't going to go but will be there tomorrow.

I expect a tight game, don't forget that Wycombe went 2-0 up at Bolton before losing.

But a win here and on Saturday would almost guarantee promotion in my opinion.

Good to hear you’ll be there, Ned

Let’s hope you go home with another 3 points in your back pocket!

Wycombe Wanderers manager Michael Duff believes a visit to Cardiff City is as tough as it gets in League One, but wants his side to find a way on Tuesday night.

Cardiff sit second in the League One table, still in contention for automatic promotion, coming off a 4-0 victory over Exeter on Saturday, which leaves them four points behind leaders Lincoln City, while playoff-chasing Wycombe Wanderers occupy ninth in the standings.

The Bluebirds’ home form has been impressive this season, suffering only three defeats in front of their own fans, and the Welsh side have claimed six wins from their last eight home matchesWycombe arrive on the back of two consecutive defeats, most recently a 2-1 loss to Luton Town at Adams Park on Saturday, and will be eager to halt the slide, knowing a strong performance against Barry-Murphy’s side is essential to get back on track and close the three-point gap to the top six.

Duff highlighted the upcoming trip to Cardiff as one of the toughest tests of the season, citing the club’s stature and the intimidating size of their stadium.He also pointed to the Bluebirds’ commanding win over the Grecians, signalling that his side will need to raise their game or find other ways to match their opponents.

Wycombe defender Anders Hagelskjaer is set to miss the rest of the season after suffering an injury in last month’s win over Burton Albion.

Duff is hopeful that Dan Casey can return within a month from the hamstring injury he sustained in the defeat to Bolton earlier this month.

Junior Quitirna is pushing for a starting berth after coming off the bench to net a late consolation goal in Saturday’s defeat to Luton.

Only Lincoln amongst our closest rivals have an overly tough match tonight, so we need to take advantage of Wycombe and keep the gap to Bolton and Bradford, whilst (hopefully) gaining on Lincoln
