I am feeling extra positive today

I couldn’t care less about possession. Meaningless stat.

Cardiff can have as much possession as they like as long as we score when we have the ball and stop them scoring at the other end.

Really? I thought you could not concede when you have the ball, resulting in the percentage chance of the opposition scoring reducing drastically?

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

I see everyone is quiet today.

The calm before the storm if we lose tomorrow  :)

Most of the time it’s around 50:50 or 40:60, or at most 70:30 and bears little relation to the result. 

More importantly, we don’t play a possession game under Sabri.

At the moment we don’t win under sabri, we don’t score under sabri and we don’t keep clean sheets under sabri.

Dreading the starting line up to be fair. Hoping there are signs of a more attacking intent rather than defending from the start.

At the moment no, but we amassed 70 points and our best finish in a decade playing that way so I’m more than happy for him to persist with it. The new signings should make a difference.

Hope to see:

Ameobi starting ( ahead of DaCosta )
Loic Mbe Soh in the squad ( highly unlikely )
Sow starting ( ahead of Yates )
A more experienced right back ( preferably Darikwa [ or Christie? ] )

Chances of my wishes being granted? Zero.

[ozzyten10]

Has Christie even signed?

[ThePromisedLand]

Has Christie even signed?

Don’t think so Ozzy - hence me hedging my bets.

Apparantly had his medical last night
