Will last years failure in the Playoffs help or hinder us ??

And Forest ???

I suppose each manager could use it to their advantage ????

We will be more used to that pressure than Reading and Swansea, is that a good thing or bad ???

Personally, I think it will be a Cardiff, Forest final, we will win the first leg, and so will Forest.

Then we will win the 2nd and Forest will win or lose by less in the 2nd, you hear it here first

I think it will help us. Agree with you i fancy it will be us against Forest in the Final

Time for the big names to step up to the plate.

I thought it would help us in the league season and until Middlesbrough it looked like it had. I have doubts though. I just think the way this season has gone it's not meant to be. Which I'm devastated about because I was adamant we'd go up in 2nd place.

Experience of the big game build up / atmosphere is only a good thing surely

We have 3 big cup finals over the next 3 weeks

We have the experience ....

We have the big game players ....

And most of all we have the best most passionate fans ...

So come on you mighty bluebirds lets make history together

I think it will most definitely hider us, they remember how gutless they are and what a bunch of failures they have become. Of course they can use that to their advantage and prove everyone wrong but in all honesty they have shown us time after time how perform on the big day, not confident for that reason alone.

DIDNT WE SAY THAT ABOUT, THE LAST 5 GAMES OF THE SEASON ????

We've got the bottler mentality from the last few seasons so i think that play with the players mind. I can see more of the same to be honest.

richard - We have many different players this time around, is Everyone coming to cardiff a gutless bottler? or is there something or someone at the club that is creating something unusual? Anyway, We all know that through the league, Cardiff were one of if not the best when it came to playing against teams in the top half of the table, or top 6 or 7 even, we also have a half tidy record against Reading too......

In my opinion, I think we will see a strong resolute performance at the Madjeski, Defending being one of the things we've worked on - so hoping that we dont conceed is obviously vital, Grabbing a goal or two is just as important - and on our day, with the right backing and mind set - We know we are capable of both! If Reading are behind coming to the CCS then Im sure they will go all out attack - leaving themselves open for huge counters from Bellamy, Burke and Jay! (maybe chops hey?)

Come on CITY!!!!

Come on CITY!!!!

The main culprits of bottlers are still with us namely Jay Bothroyd, biggest shithouse Ive seen wearing a City shirt and I think its a knock on effect when others around can see that certain players just go through the motions. I dont think any bar Bellamy, McNaughton, Heaton(when fit)& Burke would play with their hearts on their sleeves. I cant wait for the day when we off load JB and alike, I dont give a shit that he reads this board. Infact he's just most probably shrug his shoulders

its made me think if blackpool could do us over forest,reading or the jacks could 1 day at a time, and after th boro game i wouldnt bet on us.

Good question.

I have no idea whether it helps or not. if that helps.

We have the experience of the playoffs from last year but to be honest I can't see it being an advantage or disadvantage . But we have experienced players here from the Premiere who have been in massive games before so. Nerves should not be a problem.
For it all comes down to Bellamy aside do these players want it ? And that is where all my doubts lye. The other 3 teams are hungry and willing to die on the pitch to get that final place to the promised land. Can we say the same for those Lads that wear \ borrow those famous shirts.
