One of the biggest games on our calendar, Hopefully an appropriate time to meet them, they're conceding heavily and their websites baying for McCarthy's head.
Does anyone know what the attendance allowance is.?

🤦🏻‍♂️I just realized the game is on Sunday.

looks like we have all of our big guns available - proven and unproven. I wonder who Martin will select.

Huge chance for us to get our season under way. Cardiff bound to be nervous about losing six on the bounce and especially against us. We can only hope that behind the scenes discussions at the Liberty (fcuk Swansea.com) about increasing our firepower have been held with the same intensity as they have on here - and not only intensity but the same level of intelligence.

We can put some daylight between us, them and the bottom of the table and we should do just that if we can translate our possession into goals. It's about time we started doing it and tomorrow would be an ideal time to start. Prediction? I think we're two goals better than them and I'm tempted to go for 2-0. But I'm mindful of the fact that Keifer Moore will be a handful and is likely to score or set up an assist with his aerial power, probably from a set-piece that Cardiff thrive on so much. So I'm throwing caution to the winds and hoping that our strikers will really hit their straps for a 3-1 win.

With Moore as #9, will Martin make the same tactical error that he did against Fulham and play Naughton in that deranged sweeper role. If so, expect a repeat of the Fulham match as Moore will isolate him as the last man and beat him like a rent mule in terms of height, muscle and positioning. And if Cardiff don't recognize this opportunity and lever to their advantage they don't deserve to win.

We need Bennett or Cooper as that CCB. Cabango and Williams either side. Bidwell and Baird as WBs.

With roads closed because of the half marathon in the morning I’ll probably have to get to the Liberty via Gloucester !

Sorry I won't be live on here lads -- I'd have to get up at 4:00am to watch it live! I consider myself a dedicated fan ... but not THAT dedicated. I'll watch it a few hours later on our streaming service DAZN.

Cabango on the bench Manning at CB???

3 in midfield - Downes, Grimes, Smith.

Is Paterson playing as. #10 or up top alongside Piroe.

No Fulton anywhere. Walsh is ahead of Jay … really

whittaker back on the bench.

Martin is running scared of losing …. And we must be playing away from home!?!

If Martin has Naughton between Bennett and Manning then he’s a fool. And we’re going to get hammered down our left side ,,. Just as we did against Luton and Fulham …. And Moore is going to score a hat-trick

Almoat happened last year but they dropped Harris before the match. Who scheduled a derby during a marathon?

Bennett is probably marking Moore. Bennett is tallest. Grumes Downes and Laird are going to have to defend. I think we'll have enough control of midfield to lessen their chances.
