[Football] Cardiff

[albionfan37]

Personally, I think the winner of that game stays up. I can see Cardiff getting seven points from Burnley, Fulham and Palace.

No chance will they get anything at Burnley by the time they play Fulham they’ll already be down or at least unable to catch us

I can’t tell who will get the last relegation slot, all the games seem to be so different.
Heartened by the Wembley display, but will we play like that for the next few games, I doubt it.
Both Cardiff and Stains blow hot and cold though Stains look to have quite improved.
I can see us staying up, but by the skin of our teeth and in 17th spot.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

If we play the Wembley way we will be fine, the Saints way we will be deep.......

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I just think that a similar pattern of performance next year may not afford us that chance. We have to get it right this summer otherwise I think we will start of in the favoured bottom three.

I agree.

Our season is now a 1 match season against Cardiff winner takes all

Our season is now a 1 match season against Cardiff winner takes all

It’s really not though...

 

[Sorrel]

We will stay up if we deserve to. Cardiff could do really well from now to the end of the season and still not stay up.

We are going to be one of the favourites for relegation next year if we do stay up.

In 2019 our performances and points have not matched up. We have had very good performances with no points and some average performances that got us points. Overall I think we deserve to have more points than we do have at this stage in the season, but thats the way it goes. I think we are better than we were last season, and deserve to stay up, but that is no guarantee until we get the necessary points.

 

[BN41Albion]

We've been fortunate. Last year we survived because we deserved to. This year I feel it is simply because there are three worse teams.

We haven't survived yet!!!

 

[Icy Gull]

I did and see 4 points

If I was looking at our fixtures as an opposition fan I’d say we’ll get 9 points....but I know we won’t

 

[BensGrandad]

Burnley know that if they dont lose next week they will be safe so our aim has got to be minimum 4 points from the Bournemouth and Cardiff games.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Away to Burnley is a really tough game for Cardiff as after that Burnley have got Chelsea away, Man City home, Everton away and Arsenal home so Burnley are going to be massively up for it as that is realistically their only chance of getting more points and ensuring they’re safe.

I can’t see Cardiff getting anything there.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Oh yes, I agree that we have enough to stay up. I just think that a similar pattern of performance next year may not afford us that chance. We have to get it right this summer otherwise I think we will start of in the favoured bottom three.

I comfort myself with the thought that Watford were pretty crap last season and amongst the favourites to go down this time. With a good summer, we will hopefully be able to haul things around next season.

Personally I think we have more chance of getting three points from the Bournemouth game, than we do from the Cardiff one. Bournemouth have nothing left to play for, save local bragging rights and the ignominy of losting to their south coast rivals, whilst for Cardiff can't afford to lose at any cost.

Warnock will have his players all fired up for the game. They will play ultra defensively, get eleven men behind the ball, time waste, get into the referee's ear, moan at every decision given against them, and generally try to frustrate the hell out of us. All things l'm afraid that a Neil Warnock side are very capable of doing.

It's going to a long night, and not a game l'm looking forward to.

This is true and why next week (Bmuff) is a must win, or at very least a must not lose.

If we get a point v Bmuff and Cardiff win next week then beat us, we still have the G/D but will be tight.

If we get a point v Bmuff and Cardiff lose next week then I still think we have sufficient margin.

The one thing we need to avoid at all costs is losing to Cardiff, and even if we only take a single point from the Bournemouth game we may still be ok. With that five point gap, we just need to match their results. Who knows? we could even end up surviving with the points total that we have now. Would like a few more though just to be on the safe side!

I would agree with you but what really irks me as I like Neil Warnock as a manager but when he was ranting about the Chelsea goals he conveniently forgot that against us their first was a foul and the 2nd by Bamba was offside, but that was ok and all in the game

I would go as far as saying that, away from the game Neil Warnock is probably quite a knowledgable and genial bloke. Let's face it too, that if he had Cardiff playing open attacking football, they would almost certainly have gone the same way as Huddersfield and Fulham by now..

He is simply doing all that he can to keep his club in the Premier League the best way that he possibly can. Horrible to watch l know, but can he really be blamed for that?

 

[Se20]

If Cardiff avoid defeat against Burnley and you, I can see them beating Fulham and us .
Bournemouth are on the beach, so there’s the 3 points you need.
Damn those 6 points we gave you .

Agreed.

And we also have the safety net of the Newcastle game as well - in which a win would probably see us safe anyway.

And it's about time we beat Bournemouth on home pitch.
