This is the last NUFC game I get to see this year.

 

The fuckers better win 5-0.

 

Don't you normally come over for a live game?

 

Yeah, but this is the last game I get to see this year period, not just live.

 

I'm joining the Air Force and I'm off to basic training on the 14th :(

Oh man, that's pretty major stuff. Good luck with that and err... enjoy the game?  :smug:

Don't know too much about Cardiff, are they much cop other than Chopra or a bit of a one man band? I'm not worried about that little s****.

 

I've only seen them against Bristol City, but they look a very good team throughout. Their attacking strengths are also our defensive weaknesses. I'm quite worried about this game.

Carroll, Shola, Butt and Gutierrez all definitely out we assuming?

 

Harper

 

Simpson      Taylor      Coloccini      Enrique

 

Barton         Guthrie      Smith       R Taylor

 

Ranger     Lovenkrands

 

The headache here comes with what to do with the wings. We could put Taylor on the right and Lovenkrands down the left - which you could argue would make more sense - but that would mean dropping one of Barton/Guthrie, and not having our (arguably) best striker in midfield.

Theyre doing well but theyre not exactly impenetrable, they just lost to doncaster. Their only notable win is against Bristol city, the other two wins were against sides now in the bottom 5.

 

We should be expected to win, even more so if Lovenkrands is fit.

Same as Crystal Palace for me. Obviously with Ranger in for Ameobi and Loven in for Jonas. So:

 

 

Harper

 

Simpson Colo Taylor Enrique

 

R Taylor Guthrie Smith Nolan Loven

 

Ranger

 

Draw, we'll go one up but get pegged back.

 

Maybe have Barton in for Nolan there.

Ross McCormack has had a lot of praise too, scoring one in two for Cardiff.  Ebanks-Blake had that sort of goal form in similar amount of games.  I guess if they are finishing well they must be creating a decent amount of chances too.

 

I think we have more risk of losing this one than most games given the early form of Cardiff, however believe a draw is likely and I'd take that now.  A win would be a very, very good sign.
