I'm expecting a tough game and no trouble from the cardiff fans. I thought Cardiff looked pretty knackered for most of the West Ham game and I hope they are still yet to recover from their Carling Cup exploits. We really need to get the ball wide and get running at them. I'd imagine the Bluebirds will park the bus and try and hit us on the break.

These days Cardiff only have problems when playing Swansea and Bristol City - no hint of any aggro in the away game.

It's actually all about them IMHO. If they are suffering a Cup Final hangover (quite likely I'd have thought) or if we suffer a Final backlash. Cardiff really could be one extreme or the other.
Homophobia and xenophobia.

I really think they are there for the taking. They looked nackered on Sunday vs West Ham and I think our style of play will exploit their weaknesses. Comfortable win, 2 or 3 nill I reckon.

They've already had one game since the cup final.
Their form is pretty poor in 2012... I remember when they were in for Noone they were 3rd or 4th and close to the top two in terms of points, now they're below us. Lost four of their last five. You can maybe put it down to the cup being a distraction but I don't think you can suddenly turn that back on.
Also, in two games against Malky Mackay teams we've had two comfortable wins, Watford in the cup last season and Cardiff away. Maybe they're going to be our new Peterborough?
I think we'll win the game anyway. If we don't, then it's going to be pretty difficult to get into the playoffs imo.

A hangover can certainly last more than one game, in fact, win or lose a Cup Final and it can throw you for the rest of the season.

There won't be no trouble tomorrow night. That element won't travel that far on a Wed's night, getting back home in the early hours and having to pay to get back into taff land, just for a bit of trouble with a club they have no real history with.

Apparently they had only sold 450 tickets as of yesterday.
I would be surprised if they kick off to be honest.

Yes, but can a backlash be delayed?

Yeah, absolutely. In these circumstances, Cardiff could easily have just not had the legs at the weekend, or maybe needed that game to shake it out of their system. I think they are too good to continue their current form, they will click back into top 6 form sooner rather than later. Just hope it's not just yet.
