North End travel to Wales on Tuesday night to take on a slowly improving Cardiff side under the leadership of 168 years old Neil Warnock, one thing about Tuesday nights game it won't be a classic given the rather functional football both managers play.
City lost the reverse fixture 3-0 which led to the potting shed for Paul Trollope, if I remember rightly City were rock bottom at the time they are now sixteenth so it just shows that that the old codger Warnock is doing his usual firefighting act.
He has used the transfer market astutely bringing in Bamba, Halford and Hoilett, also keeper McGregor from Hull to fill a position that City have had a few problems with this season.
They have lost their last two games although playing Brighton and Reading and not getting results is no disgrace, they are a solid unit and will be well organised but then again so are we.
They have won three out of the last four home league games although did lose to Fulham in the FA Cup, only drawn twice at home which I think will be the result on Tuesday.
The ground holds 33280 suspect that it will not be a sell out, Vincent Tan is still the owner although these days seems to take a rather lower profilethan he used to do, we have a board level connection with them as the Riddler was on City's board at one ime and he now advises our board.
Don't think we have any new injury worries, should have a new full back in the squad also Cunningham will be back from suspension which is good news because we have been vulnerable at full back in the last two matches.
Personal view give Robinson a break play Horgan who creates more from what I have seen, also maybe time to give Beckford a start.
This game is one for which the majority of North Enders will give a big miss too not me will arrive home at 4am on Wednesday morning the joy of night games!!!!
