Cardiff's Kenwyne Jones targets derby win over Swansea, hero status - and a place in history

Kenwyne Jones is ready to pile more misery on his Cardiff side's arch-rivals Swansea.

New signing Jones has fitted in as quickly as his surname would suggest in the Welsh capital, after scoring on his debut for the Bluebirds last week as they beat relegation rivals Norwich.

Netting in an away victory in Saturday's South Wales derby at the Liberty Stadium too would make him an instant hero with the fans.

Former Stoke striker Jones said: “We will analyse where we can penetrate Swansea’s weaknesses. That’s what you do for every game but it is a bit more special for the club and fans because it is a derby.”

Cardiff won the reverse fixture in November and can make history by completing the first home-and-away double of the 27 seasons the pair have spent in the same division since this rivalry began in 1929.

But Jones insists three points are more important than bragging rights as both teams fight for Premier League survival.

He said: “We know a derby match is important for the fans but three points are the priority. Games against other teams in bottom half are important so we need to keep our heads and play the football we can to win the game.

“The table can look daunting when you’re in this position so we have to win to keep pace with the teams around us.

“We have to play everyone in the bottom half so it’s important for us to build the confidence from last week’s win over Norwich and believe we can get points from them.”

You know what...I have a funny feeling Jones is going to be a nightmare for Chico.

West Ham showed last week how much a big striker can cause havoc against them, hopefully he can do the same

Watched him last week and he worked his arse off for us .As the op said he is what we have been missing for years and last weeks game 2nd half was probably the most exciting football the Bluebirds have played since DJ. Cant wait for him to give Chico a huge nightmare. :ole: :thumbup:
