That match day excitement is starting to build. I vowed not to get involved in this but can't help myself. In a darkened room behind a tattoo parlour in the latin quarter of deepest Worksop I crossed the palm of Madame Ekaterina with silver, and she said (with a hint of a Glaswegian accent).........2-1 Millers!

nice team-like the look of the right hand side-plenty of pace and some guile.

Cardiff's team isn't too far off what it was last year. They didn't look great then. We know Whittingham and Pilkington are good players and the defender, Manga, is a monster of a man and a real threat from corners. We know Jones is a powerful runner. We ought to be able to give them a decent game at home.

I think first goal is so important. If we get it, get something to build on and defend, I think we can win. If they get it, I think we'll slump.  

We have to start positively, like we did so often last season. Evans is right about us being at our best when on the front foot.

Prediction - bright start, sees Andreu slam a shot from the edge of the box in after 23 minutes. We slump a bit after 38 minutes and end the half a bit ragged, but still holding the lead. They start brightly, have a few corners and make us worry, before the Norwich lads combine to play JCH in and he makes it two. They nick a scruffy goal from poor marking at a corner in the 78th minute, the ref gives them everything, but we hold on. Relief rings round the stadium, belief is rekindled. 

like it

yes i think broadfoot will be straight in as well 

and the use of halford as the target man with jch and derbyshire running at them creating space good idea

DavidR, they might not have looked great last season but they still stuffed us 1-3 at New York mate.

Let's hope they're still not great otherwise they could get six this time.  

Well anyway, they suffered their first defeat of the season on Tuesday at the hands of Hull City, and that was without Revell and Gunnarsson who both remained on the bench.

Hull used a 5-3-2 formation which stifled Cardiff ans it's something that we should use too I.M.O.

Cardiff have had the luxury of being able to field an unchanged starting eleven for the last four games, but it didn't work against Hull on Tuesday so we could see a few changes against us.  

Gunnarsson is the player that I fear but he's out of favour at the moment along with Alex, so let's hope it stays like that, although I doubt it!  

Overall, we've got a decent record against the Bluebirds, and my prediction is a 1 - 0 win for us.
