LAWRO/MERSON/NORWICH FANS ~ WHAT ARE THEY SAYING??

Mark Lawrenson Predictions
Cardiff played well in their defeat by Manchester United on Tuesday, but only up to a point. Their problem was that they created very few chances.
The Bluebirds played with only one up front at Old Trafford. I am not sure if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be more attacking at home, but he should be.
He has brought a few players into the club since taking charge and I have also been impressed lately by Craig Noone and Jordon Mutch.
Norwich got a good point against Newcastle in their last game, although the Magpies battered them.
Cardiff could play one or both of new signings Kenwyne Jones and Wilfried Zaha but, however they do it, they need to give Fraizer Campbell some support up front.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Paul Merson Predictions
Cardiff have had two tough games against Man United and Man City and were always going to be in the bottom three by the time this game came along. Now they have to win and for me, if they don't win, I think it's goodbye. I would go that far because if they end up five or six points behind they won't have three wins on the trot in them. I like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's signings; Kenwyne Jones, for me, hasn't really proved himself over a distance of time, but if you can get him going for six or seven games he could keep you up. I think this is a game they will have targeted and I think they'll win.
PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0

I know it's too early too predict this weekend, but Just been looking at the as it stands table. Cardiff rock bottom will know they have to win otherwise they will get cut adrift. Even a win might not take them out of the bottom 3 and if they can't beat us, who are poor away from home at this moment,they deserve to go down.

A point would be fine

Every game is Huge. A point would be great. Lose and the daggers will be out again. Sad really that people cannot enjoy the ride.

Well, with our attacking prowess, our thirst for goals, a point is probably the best we can hope for.
Unless Cardiff score of course and then it's more than likely going to be nil points.

We really must not go to Cardiff and play for a draw. If we have to settle for a point then fine its not a bad result but this is one of our most winnable games remaining and we should be looking to try and win it. They will be bang up for this so if we sit off them and invite pressure onto ourselves we will be asking for trouble.

Bellamy and Zaha, looks like we will be up against these 2 on Saturday..... tricky players.
bellamy made his comeback this week vs manure and then zaha

Whilst I rate Bellamy, his ability to affect games is waning as time goes by, and I really think Zaha is struggling to adapt to the Premiership.
It'll be a tough game, Cardiff need teh points, and being at home they will expect to win.
Realistically a point will be a far better result for us, than it will be for them.

Zaha can cause damage as he is super quick but little end product and a bad attitude. That said he has a point to prove and we might live to regret it. Talent is there if raw

Wont know how they're going to play with these additions
Zaha, Fabio, Kenwyne Jones, Magnus Wolff Eikrem, Mats Moller Daehli and Jo Inge Berget
Well they wont know each other!!!

Massive respect to the norwich posts - true and pretty unbiased to be fair
If westham or sunderland wernt our biggest fixtures of the season - this one surly is
We dont look like we have a run of three wins in us as stated above. The next four games are the best opportunity we are going to have to get out of the bottom three and we really need to start it off with a big win.

Merson only one with common sense in terms knowing the circumstances and the previous games we had.
