Cardiff City (A) - FA Cup - Pre Match Thread

I’m hoping this is the game where everything we do comes off, it could be carnage, but more like 2-0 to us.

Hopefully I'm talking shit

You have plenty of form.

Why does Ederson need a rest he hardly has anything to do every game.

I agree goalies don't need resting but I think it's more to do with giving both keepers game time. Seems to be the way that people prefer to do that by having a clean divide between league and domestic cups. Not keen on it myself but i get the logic.

He’s not rested. We keep our second keeper in form in case he ever has to step in in the league or CL.

Have a bad feeling we'll field our weakest squad of the season and draw.

I'd like to see a strong line up again, and Ederson back in goal, though I suspect we'll go with Bravo.

I definitely think we should play Ederson in the League Cup Final too, we need a first trophy under Pep.

I think this will be another frustrating game; noisy crowd, opposition up for it and raising their game, probably a team full of giant hoofers too, so our defence will be under pressure especially at set pieces. They're bound to score at least one. I think we'll get away with a draw after one of our big guns digs us out of the shit again (Kun, Kev or Raheem) and we end up with more fixture congestion but still in the cup.

Hopefully I'm talking shit and in reality we batter these by 3 or 4 while still resting a few regulars! Somehow we never seem to get that lucky these days though, like getting Yeovil for example.

you missed out "again"

He doesn't per se, but Bravo needs games
