MATCH THREAD “ CARDIFF CITY v MANSFIELD TOWN “ MATCH THREAD

Maybe Lee Tomlin will play


City 3 Mansfield 1

He may well play, but the big question is will he last the 90 minutes

I am trying to motivate myself to go to this one

I’m going with 3 of my brothers, 1 of my daughters and 2 friends. It doesn’t make any difference to me that Warnock will play a half strength team, it’s still Cardiff City to me and that’s all that matters. What annoys me is if we were playing Man City or the like it would be a sell out.

I have missed two home games and two away games this season so I have earned the right to miss this one mate, hope you have a nice day and I have already seen Man City....they are shite

Odds for a 6-1 victory on Skybet....150/1 worth a punt for a fiver could bring in £755, that should cover the Leeds and Sheff Weds trips!

950 tickets Mansfield have sold to their fans

Wasn’t having a pop at you personally, I was talking about it generally and of course it’s up to the individual whether he/she goes to the games but what I am saying is fact as proven in the past when we’ve drawn big teams in the cups and it’s a nightmare for the regular fans that go to most of the games to get tickets.

Mansfield Fan...

Should be an interesting game tomorrow, looks like you are desperate for a win based on the last 4 games and we are bang in form and playing well...We have only lost 1 in 18 in all comps.

Interested to read Cardiff looking to shell out 1mill on Doidge for FGR...not a bad player but wouldn't have thought he was worth that to be honest?! He is a player a lot of Mansfield fans would like to sign in the window but to be honest probably any better than Danny Rose and Kane Hemmings (on loan from Oxford)

Is Warnock likely to go for a strong side or change it? I think we may have an outside chance for a draw if he goes for a second string ....defensively we are strong (versus L2 teams!)

NEIL WARNOCK TODAY. 05/01/18


Warnock is hopeful of extending Liam Feeney’s loan

Warnock has also stated that he is ready to pay big money in this window

Warnock Wants two more additions before Sunderland game


Warnocks vowed to play ‘strongest possible team v Mansfield

Richards could return, but Harris and Connolly are set for a long spell on sidelines

Didn't think you was mate, just saying Man City are shite anyway get yourself a half season ticket should be sorted if we get to the 4th round I just hope for your sake and family sake that they do not play like they did against Burton.....

Have a good day in Cardiff if your making a day of it, if a second string play like they did against Burton, I hope you get a good draw in the 4th round

NEIL WARNOCK: TEAM FOR MANSFIELD

“I’m still going to pick my strongest team, the fittest lads are going to play, because I like the FA Cup and I want to get through.”

“We’ve had a flu symptoms bug but I’m sure we’re going to put a strong side out, it’s just a bit chaotic.”


“I used to call it emergency ward 10, we’re that thin on the ground! We’ve got to get 7 subs and an 11 on the team-sheet. I’m not telling you the players who have got the flu.”

MANSFIELD TOWN FC:

FA CUP: We have sold precisely 1,064 tickets for tomorrow's Emirates FA Cup third round tie @CardiffCityFC. Tickets are now off sale and will not be available to purchase tomorrow from the Cardiff City Stadium (3pm)#COYS!

I wish Cardiff were shite like Man City are
I don’t need a half season ticket mate, I’ve been a season ticket holder for over 25 years
It wouldn’t make a difference to me or my family how City play as we would still be there. Have you decided if you’re going to go yet, I hope you do

Just seen that their a pitch inspection. Is this true? I'll be gutted if its called off as i havent been to see my beloved team since the Hull game.

If it gets called off when do you think its likely to be played?

Ok mate, I can’t find it anywhere else and to be honest I’d be very surprised if there’s a pitch inspection but stranger things have happened. Thanks mate

If it’s on faceshite it must be true

Haven’t heard anything but IMO mate, there’s no chance this will be off.

Not really be difficult for regular fans to get cup tickets in a big draw as the season ticket holders get priority

That’s a strong Cardiff side. I’ve just had a nose on their forum and for a league two side they seem very confident of beating us today.

One poster actually said they’ll win 0-2 and draw a big premier league side next round.

Hope we put 5 past the twats now.

facebook how common

Arguably our best player

At the game and a decent City starting line up with Morrison being a pleasant surprise

Decent start, too, with Zohore looking lively up front. A decent run from Rhys Healey brings a decent save from the Mansfiekd keeper

Healey miscues from 12 yards and the ball ends up goingswuare and cleared away!

City looking lovely though and it's one way traffic at the minute

Much of a crowd there Chris?

Paterson goes down of his own accord holding his knee. Looking initially co corner but he's back on shortly after treatment

City doing well and taking the game to Mansfield. If only we had a little end product...but we're on top as it stands and Neil Warnock on firm with his one-liners aimed at the officials
