" Which Club Will Score First On Wednesday ? "

and will it have much significance on the final result.

Currently Cardiff and Coventry share the unwanted statistic of being the clubs who have dropped most points from a winning position, 23 points, in the Championship this season.

So far this season Cardiff are the team top of the statistics for scoring the first goal with 64.8%, Coeventry in comparison have only scored the first goal in 37.8% of thier games. So on past performance Cardiff are likely to score first but if we do will we be able to hold onto the lead.

looking at the performance of both clubs regarding points gained from a losing position Cardiff have gained 6 points from 1 win and 3 draws whilst Coventry have gained 5 points from a losing position from 5 draws.

So statistically if Cardiff score first Coventry will have to do something they haven't done all season and that is win a game from a losing position if we are to take nothing from the game. Even if Coventry score first the statistically we will get back at them and at least get a draw.

In my opinion this is the perfect game to help us out of our current dip, Whitts nearly always scores against Coventry and as we must be favourites to score first Whitts must be the player to bet to get the first goal. Once in front I can see us going on for a comfrortable win, hell even Kenny Millar will get back on the goal scoring scene.

3 - 0 to the Bluebirds and we move on to Birmingham the weekend and you know what I fancy us to get something there as well, but first back to winning ways against Coventry.

I think we will score first and go onto win comfortably.There could be a lot of goals in this game because City and Coventry are also at the top for conceding the most late goals ! Fancy Miller will get some goal scoring form back in this game. :ayatollah:

Gary, I think Cardiff will go for it and score first and go on to win 3 nil,I feel the players know they have to go for this one as from then on it gets harder the games and they badly need this.

If Coventry score first, will the crowd turn on both the manager and team? This certainly won't help as statistics won't keep certain fans happy.

at the moment, we dont look like scoring, i dont think coventry will offer much upfront, im going for either another 0-0 or maybe 1-0 city with a goal from a free kick or corner..
