' NEIL WARNOCK READY FOR NEW TEST '
http://www.annisabraham.co.uk/2016/10/2 ... -new-test/
Wigan Athletic at home will be a different test entirely to the previous three games Cardiff City have played under Neil Warnock.
In a lot of ways playing the bigger teams have suited Neil Warnock, fitting his gameplan and underdog mentality perfectly,thats what Warnock thrives on.
Wigan will be a different proposition although they do try and get it down and play, much like Forest, Wednesday and Bristol. They won’t be cavalier but they won’t sit deep and let Cardiff have the ball either.
Its easier to raise your game against bigger clubs like Sheffield Wed and Nottingham Forest and especially against local club Bristol City.
For me this could a tougher test against a side like Wigan,who are struggling in the Championship/fighting for their lives,won't have big support and are not the type of club to get the home fans Cardiff City going.
Wigan have just sacked their manager Gary Caldwell,so will come to us without a manager,many will say that is good news for City and only helps,we will wait and see?

Neil Warnock: Struggling Wigan are Cardiff City's toughest test yet
BBC
Wednesday 26th October 2016
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock believes Saturday's home Championship match against struggling Wigan Athletic will be his toughest test yet.
Warnock made it seven points from nine since taking charge on 5 October when the Bluebirds won at Nottingham Forest.
But despite a trip to Newcastle looming it is the visit of Wigan, who have sacked manager Gary Caldwell, which has the 67-year-old concerned.
"We've got our most difficult game coming up, I think," Warnock said.
"It's not a top of the league game, but it's a very good Championship team. We've got to try to get three points before we go to Newcastle."
Lying just one place off the bottom of the Championship, Caldwell was shown the door after 18 months in charge despite winning the League One title last season.
Cardiff though have been handed a blow ahead of clash with striker Ricky Lambert set to miss out with a badly cut shin.
But since taking charge following the sacking of Paul Trollope, Warnock has overseen an upturn in Cardiff's fortunes with wins over Bristol City and Forest and a draw at home to Sheffield Wednesday lifting the Bluebirds out of the relegation places.
Warnock revealed the secret behind the transformation was a rather simple one.
"I asked them after the Bristol City game, how do you feel tonight in the dressing room?" added the Bluebirds' boss.
"This is what we want to feel. I've come to enjoy myself. I want them to enjoy themselves and they are, you can see they're enjoying themselves.
"It's hard work, but when you come off with three points and satisfaction, it's a good weekend."
