The club's highest-ever league finish was second in the top flight in 1906–07. They were FA Cup runners-up in 1909, and won the Welsh Cup in 1934 despite being an English team.

For me this is an easy win. MM third game and we already look like champion league contenders so this I predict will be 3-1 to us. Right man right time right job it all fits.

Bluebirds by 2

This will be the first game mick has had against a team that wants to play on the floor so I reckon mick will do them. Milwall and Barnsley wanted to battle us and launch it long but Bristol will want to play. I reckon we’ll bully them. 2-0

I have a cousin in Bristol (a massive wurzel fan) and Ive just had a text asking for predictions, he seems to think Brizzle are in the frame for an easy win. Pressure mounting on Brizzle from the fans they are or rather were expecting minimum top 6 finish if not auto promotion

Cannot pick your family. Unfortunately work with a load of carrot crunchers. All fools

We’ve become that boring it’s not even on Sky, that really does say a lot of things.

I’d be happy with a draw at the carrot crunchers burrow but obviously I hope we do them worzels as to me they’re our real rivals and not those peg sellers down west

2-2

Cardiff 2-1

We are still conceding goals, if it’s not one player making a mistake it’s another!

2-0 loss I’m afraid.

3-1 Cardiff Moore, Wilson, Morrison

Can't see us winning this one.. we will prob have Bristol and Swansea do the double over us this year

C'mon Baz, why so optimistic?

I'm going for a minimum of at least a 2 clear goal win for us in both games
