If I was feeling the pain after the Watford game add the Everton game and I was left with a crippling pain and for the first time in the season my thoughts began to believe relegation was more than a possibility.
Woe is I for being a defeatist but it’s hard not to be with a visit to Wolves tomorrow. Beatable? Yes, but can you we trust this team to remember how to win after shifting eight goals in the last two games while scoring just one in reply. We beat them back in November at the Cardiff City Stadium 2-1 so we will be looking to make this game the second double (home and away wins) for the season.
While Cardiff lost 3-0 mid-week to Everton at Huddersfield, they (Wolves) lost 1-0. A win for Southampton saw Cardiff drop into the bottom three, the relegation zone. There are only ten games left to the end of the season and March will be no walk over with the Wolves game followed by West Ham (home), Brighton (away), and Chelsea (home) there as to be points in these games.
Former football agent Willie McKay who helped his son an agent himself broker the transfer from Nantes to Cardiff claimed in a TV interview Emiliano Sala was "abandoned" by Cardiff City to arrange his own travel back to Nantes, to say goodbye to his teammates. However, screenshots of messages between the player and Cardiff player liaison officer shows far from being “abandoned”. Cardiff arranged a flight to Paris via a commercial flight out of Cardiff Airport only to be informed McKay had arranged a private flight by Sala himself.
At his pre-match press conference manager, Neil Warnock reported there are no major injury’s worries and Oumar Niasse returns after being ineligible to face parent club Everton in midweek and Joe Ralls, who missed the game with a pelvic problem, is fit. Harry Arter and Callum Paterson could both return after being rested in midweek. He expects Victor Camarasa to finally join the squad.
Warnock revealed he held frank talks with his Cardiff players after heavy home defeats to Watford and Everton, and told them to "look in the mirror".
Games that matter this weekend
Saturday
Brighton v Huddersfield (Can the away team do us another favour by winning or at least a draw.)Burnley v Crystal Palace (Both are five points ahead of Cardiff if either win one will still be in catching distant.)Man Utd v Southampton (Hate saying this but come on United.)West Ham v Newcastle (A win for the Londoners would be helpful in the quest for Cardiff’s survival.)Sunday
Fulham v Chelsea (nonsensical really but here, go Chelsea.)
Guess what over on prediction corner no one gives Cardiff a cat’s hell of a chance of beating Wolves – no surprise there. Pundits just love to rub Cardiff face into the mud.
