I just read trott could possibly be a doubt for Saturday due to a tight hamstring

Would be dissapointing but I feel Turner is an adequate replacement

Actually nice to have 2 decent keepers in the books

how is turnbull “out for a while” but then simultaneously in the predicted line up

Chambers was taking the goal kicks for trott.

3-1 city

i think we have the confidence to beat Plymouth who are not high in confidence and form.

Statement home win. 3 or 4 nil.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I fancy Plymouth could pull off a shock here.
They appear to be improving after a nightmare start and it won't go our way every match.
I'll go for a draw, but I fear worse.

Sorry, that was my mistake. Shouldn't have put Turnbull in the predicted team, edited it now.

I do think it’s odd Robertson still not available, now with a hamstring issue.

Hope it’s just bad luck and not him shopping around for a move before the transfer window closes.

Prefer turner to alnwick

City win 2_0 salech colwill

3-1 (Salech Chambers Willock)

I think the winning run comes to an end today, on my way now.

1-1 and we'll have a player sent off.

Osho not in the squad because he didn’t get his international clearance in time!

LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 0 PLYMOUTH ARGYLE (3 mins)

lol defender fell over himself dunno how Salech was penalised

Superb response to Sol Bmamba’s 14 minute memorial

LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 0 PLYMOUTH ARGYLE (15 mins)

A great cross sees the ball go unconverted for the Bluebirds

Not sure what Salech was doing but his was a half-hearted attempt to connect!

LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 0 PLYMOUTH ARGYLE (18 mins)

Fantastic Minutes applause by both sets of fans for Sol Bamba RIP

We're slightly on top at the moment but struggling to find that killer final pass a little.
