I think we'll do fine if we can get a good attacking rhythm going like against Burnley. I think they're a very similar team, but a bit dirtier. Hope Wilf keeps a fairly level head throughout if he plays.

I don't think we'll train very much, just a few tactical sessions and a few training games for sharpness. Hence I don't really see tiredness being an issue.

Indeed, the Cardiff game fills me with uneasy apprehension - it would be just like Palace to come crashing down from the dizzying heights by putting on a totally dysfunctional and inept performance in front of the expectant home crowd. However, if we manage to get three points on Boxing Day, I can see us beating Chelski as well.

This game will not be as easy as anticipated. But that aside it is one that is very winnable and one that we should be taking 3 points from.

We will need composed heads on the day. Warnock as always will have his team fired up and will use every trick in the book to turn the game into a physical battle. Wilf needs keep his head right from the very start right up until the final whistle. Warnock will definetly view him as vulnerable and will make sure he is targeted right from the off.

If we keep our heads and concentrate on our game we will end up with all three points.

Well said, Warnock will certainly know how to needle our players, and park the bus. Most likely outcome is a bore draw, but I hope yore right!

I was there and the current Manchester Utd manager took Wilf off despite him being Cardiff’s biggest threat on the day. Then there was a row involving our current Sporting Director. What a sh1t show modern football is. Glad we’ve got Roy.
