Over Watford all about Everton now

Over Watford, you just have to after a 5-1 defeat is not easy to take but there is always another game until the last game of the season when the reckoning is tallied up. Fingers crossed our season doesn’t end in relegation but if the team continue to play like Friday night it will, come on boys.

When I saw the team for the Watford game on social media I posted a simple message “Interesting”, I just felt uneasy with the line-up and it turned out I was right to be apprehensive. But it’s now Everton today and hopefully a better score line basically a win.

Everton have had a calamitous run and their manager is under a lot of pressure with only one win in the last five games where Cardiff have won two games. In November, they were 1-0 winners (Everton) at Goodison Park but have not won in Cardiff in the league since 1930/31 may it continue tomorrow night.

At his pre-match conference Cardiff boss, Neil Warnock expressed his frustration over Victor Camarasa situation. The Cardiff City medical team passed him fit 10 days ago according to Warnock while his own medical team disagree and the on-loan midfielder could still miss the Everton clash. Aron Gunnarsson is expected to return, while Lee Peltier and Bobby Reid will be checked after illness. On loan striker, Oumar Niasse is ineligible to face his parent club Everton leaving the possibility of Kenneth Zohore making his first start in five months.

Our mini league at the wrong end of the Premier League has seen changes … Palace, Burnley and Newcastle all won at the weekend and have extended their points lead over Cardiff making it more important to get something out of today's game. Cardiff, Southampton, and Huddersfield all lost while Brighton didn’t play and have themselves a game in hand.

The mid-week games that matter to us as a club

Tues … Huddersfield v Wolves (Huddersfield are technically relegated no one believes they will get out of the bottom three but still a Wolves win would be good.)

Tues … Leicester v Brighton (We need a Leicester win with Brighton having a game in hand and two points ahead of us.)

Tues … Newcastle v Burnley (Must be a draw just to keep in touch was them.)

Wed … Southampton v Fulham (Fulham win would be helpful just to keep us out of the bottom three.)

Wed … Palace v Man Utd (I expect a United win.)
