Wycombe are in 9th place but only 3 points from the relegation places, this league is absolute mental this season

I see a comfortable Bluebird win at Wycombe! We are hitting form at the right time, and the loss versus Lincoln seems to have focussed a few minds!

This will be tough. Wycombe have won four of their last five home games, although lost to Plymouth at home recently which was a surprise.

But they've beaten Bolton, Lincoln and Huddersfield at home.

Would take a draw.

But I'll be pleased whatever happens. Said I'd be happy if we were still top after the festive fixtures and we will be.

Sold out for Cardiff fans once again

What was our allocation Annis? Me and my son going. Went to the pre season game and I know that they dont always open the whole end up

Cardiff City have sold out their away allocation for Wycombe Wanderers tomorrow

1,798 bluebird fans will travel to Adams Park for Brian Barry-Murphy’s men

Think this will be tougher than a lot of people think, Wycombe are pretty strong at home theyve already beaten Lincoln Bolton and Huddersfield at there ground this season so a forgon conclusion this game is not we will need to be switched on to get the 3 points here I'm going for a 2-2 draw

We'll be there loud and proud tomorrow Fellow BLUEBIRDS come on CITY!!!

2-3
Bitting fingernails game.

Not a fan of the defence, NG or Kpakio out of position and Osho coming back in who's struggled so far.

3-2 win with a late winner from Callum Robinson

I hope Osho has a good game, but not sure why you wouldn’t play Fish there for this one with Lawlor.

Bluebirds

Let’s keep the faith! BBM will have made changes for a reason and the inclusion of Kpakio, Osho, and Robertson, will add fresh legs during what has been a physically challenging period

Personally, I rate Osho; he just needs to be confident and show his class

LATEST SCORE: WYCOMBE WANDERERS 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (2 mins)

City started well

GOAL! BLUEBIRDS!

WHAT A FINISH FROM CHRIS WILLOCK!

LATEST SCORE: WYCOMBE WANDERERS 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY (5 mins)
Bluebird scorer: Chris Willock, 5 mins

Yes 0-1

Excellent finish

Willock so much better this year than last, seems to be flying under BBM.

City in Total Control

Willock so much better this year than last, seems to be flying under BBM.

100% agree

Robertson needs to be very careful.

Gone a bit quite now

A good start from the Bluebirds, where we have maintained both composure and pressure on the Wycombe defence, before taking full advantage with an excellent goal from Chris Willock

Wycombe have started to come back into the game, but I think it’s more a case of us dropping a gear after going in front

Alex Robertson booked for an innocuous looking ‘foul’ on the Wycombe player, and it looked harsh to me

Wycombe not really troubling Nathan Trott’s goal, and we have plenty in our tank here, if we need to step it up, just as Robertson has a chance at the other end

LATEST SCORE: WYCOMBE WANDERERS 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY (19 mins)
Bluebird scorer: Chris Willock, 5 mins

Robertson shot saved

Joel Colwill really should have been more composed there and scored!

We’re back on the attack though!

LATEST SCORE: WYCOMBE WANDERERS 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY (20 mins)
Bluebird scorer: Chris Willock, 5 mins

Colwill hits the bar with it being easier to score.
