Cardiff City could make a bit of history tonight if they beat visitors Sheffield United by winning their first three opening league games. I was shocked reading about this unwanted stain on the clubs history and I hope it is brushed aside tonight.
I woke up this morning looked at the ceiling and wished it was May and the season was over and we were top of the League but that soon drifted away and it was back to reality we were top of the League with a long way to go.
It was a great weekend with a win over the much-fancied Aston Villa who the pundits and the national media have installed as favourites for promotion. The win was in front of owner Vincent Tan, his first game in Cardiff for a number of years. The fans gave him a good reception the bad blood from the rebrand is slowly decreasing.
On the possibility of selling the club he made it clear, the club will listen to offers but there is no rush to sell. He also believes Warlock is the manager to take the Bluebirds back to the Premier League even with a restricted budget.
Although after such a win the negativity was soon back with the coals raked over the £10.5m for Andreas Cornelius transfer in the manager ship of Malky Mackay who Tan as a number of issues with. Once again, old wounds opened, sides taken again, and social media the battleground.
Cardiff manager Neil Warlock could make changes despite the impressive 3-0 victory over Aston Villa, Saturday. He could decide to start Striker Lee Tomlin who was among the substitutes against Villa and maybe use £1.6million signing Danny Ward. In defence Bruno Manga, could get the nod for a run out to night instead of Sol Bamba who could be rested ahead of next Saturday's appointment at Molineux with an at present unbeaten Wolves.
There is a transfer rumour that Warnock is interesting in signing Watford’s out-of-favour midfielder Ben Watson although the reports suggest the Bluebirds are not alone in their interest. If one is coming in one could be going out Fulham have made an offer for Cardiff City full-back Joe Bennett, according to some press outlets.
So tonight all fingers crossed for another Aston Villa type performance with the same outcome. Three points and top of the League, which would top off the night.
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has no new injury concerns ahead of the trip to the Cardiff City Stadium. After opening the season with a 1-0 win over Brentford at the weekend they lost by the same score to Middlesbrough and their goal was scored by former Bluebird favourite Rudy Gestede.
