Liam Liam Liam O Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I'd settle for not losing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 2-1 win I think, with Loven I reckon we'll have a bit of pace upfront which is something we've maybe missed a bit. If Shola's back, great, him and Loven could tear them up, if not Carroll would do a similar job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 This I can see being oneofthe mostdifficult matches this year,after they missed out last season and seeing the start they'veAde this season they are one of my favorites to go up. I'd settle for any draw although think we'll come through maybe 2 - 1 winners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I think we might get beat, the first half will be crucial IMO and whether we can look after Chopra (assuming he's not injured). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Probably the only team we've faced so far who actually pose a threat to the opposition's goal... Chopra will be itching for a goal but I still think we can take this one if we play as well as we have been. A draw would be more than acceptable, there's plenty of rubbish in this league we can get our wins off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Can't see us winning this one tbh, they are a good side and our luck has to run out somewhere. 2-0 them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yep, I think we'll be losing this one. They'll create far more chances than Leicester did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisjraby Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 If we win this then I genuinely think we can beat anyone. Cardiff and West Brom have been the top performers so far and we managed to hold our own against WBA (thanks to Krul especially), and if we manage to beat Cardiff on their own ground, I can't see any other teams really giving us a good go.

If Shola's back, great, him and Loven could tear them up, if not Carroll would do a similar job. Lovenkrands wont be fit in time. I reckon he'll probably start on the bench. We should be able to get 20 minutes out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Now Im not saying Chopra is a bad player, far from it at this level. But we will more than likely be playing against him with the same back four as last, and we certainly didn't fear him then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Cardiff are one of the better teams in the Championship and going there will be tough, I will be happy with a draw, but given our start we can win there. Their crowd will be up for this one, it will be their 1st big match at the new stadium. I assume we will travel well to Cardiff so the atmosophere should be top quality. Being a Swansea boy would give me even extra pleasure in seeing the Toon beat Cardiff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Cardiff fans saying we have sold out our 2000 ticket allocation, and that the game itself is nearly a sell out. Really tough game like, our most difficult yet, expecting Hughton to go 4-5-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe_next_year Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 i think this actually might be easier than some of our last few games, cardiff seem to me to be alot less physical than the likes of sheffield wed and leister and we've done well against teams that actually try to play fooball such as reading. 2-0 win.

Nobody Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Don't see any reason why McLovelypants shouldn't be fit for this. It's a week and a half away and he's been doing pre season training. Have we got any other players except for Coloccini who's away on International duties? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sheff Utd will be there or thereabouts, they're a good side albeit a bit one dimensional. And we can't really foget about the smogs either, still many decent players there although thankfully much weakened after the deaprture of Tuncay and Huth. And having to keep Alves! Bristo City as well will be up there, they keep gradually building each year. There's a few good teams who'll challenge us I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really tough game like, our most difficult yet, expecting Hughton to go 4-5-1. I rang the box office today and there are a small number to go on public sale tomorrow. She wouldn't say how many but thought they'd be gone fairly soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a week and a half away and he's been doing pre season training. Have we got any other players except for Coloccini who's away on International duties? He said he is 'running fit' and not 'match fit'. On the basis that our lads were meant to be 'match fit' for the first game and have had 6 matches since then, he'll be doing well to get up to that level.

We'll probably stick with 4-5-1 anyway so he'll be on the bench i would have thought. Mind you, he was far from match fit when we got him back in January and made a pretty immediate impact, so i've got faith he'll get up to speed pretty quickly.
