I hope we put in a performance and get a result that us fans deserve, although I fear that another defeat will just intensify the fan unrest. However, after the debacle on Saturday, I am not confident at all.
For me this could be last chance saloon, and I just hope he buys a winning round.

Inevitable defeat. Not even worth £10 on TTV. I work with Cardiff fans and I’ve pre-warned them they are a playing a League One standard team and their two centre backs will never have an easier game marking Madine.

Just about everyone must fancy playing us at the moment, still loads of injuries, well out of form, just turn up and gather in three points. Far from confident we can pull out a surprise and I'd quite happily take a point now, or a postponement

Upside is a result will come at some point, so why not tomorrow, even if staring at the north face?

It is. 100%.
Probably one camera and a bloke doing comms from his kids bedroom in Maidstone though.

Is it worth watching? I’m not sure. The question is how many Cardiff will score. You try and accept defeat before kick off so you can handle the disappointment better.
Appleton out.

I can't remember when I've been so apprehensive about the result before a game. Something has to change soon.

Why doesn't he give Poveda a start and rest big Gaz and put Lavery in the middle?
I can't see him changing Maxwell, he had a good game last week.

Suppose it depends on Cardiff, I know last year they were a land of giants, if so you kinda need to play Gaz if he's 70%+.
I'd definitely start Poveda though.
I actually think we'll win this, I'll go 2-1 pool.

Not really. I just know what to expect. It’s not hard is it.

I will definitely watch it. I just have to prepare mentally to accept the inevitable. It will start with the team sheet where Appleton will once again be the only manager in the world who thinks Madine is a lone striker

We should be beating teams like these.

Hope he plays a 442 - Jerry & Gaz up top. Patino, Dougall, Poveda, and presumably Carey across the middle.

Keep the 433 that we have been playing all season maybe Poveda for Lavery that's about it we don't have many options especially in central midfield so that last thing we should be doing is making it weaker by playing 2 there

Need a win to ditch Cardiff back in the mire. With Wigan and Hull unlikely to win over the weekend it will be a start of the climb. Of course battering Hull on Boxing day will help the cause further.

Fair - but I'd stop the wide midfield lads pushing up too much, in phases ... and get 4 back in line asap.

Get a grip. We’ve had a lot of crap periods during the last 50 years, but I (and I’m sure the majority of fans) have never had such a defeatist attitude. It’s hardly as if Cardiff are worldbeaters.

Should we? Next to bottom ,out of form and lots of injuries. I HOPE we win which is very different but any impartial observer wouldn`t be backing us.

Dan Grimshaw is back in goal due to Chris Maxwell picking up an injury. That’s now nine players that are unavailable. Pool otherwise unchanged. TEAM: Grimshaw, Connolly, Williams, Husband, Garbutt, Dougall, Patino, Carey, Lavery, Yates, Madine

As predicted.Any thoughts on the team?
Can't see too many changes because we haven't really got many options but could today be the day we see the return of Grimmy?

He’s sticking with his ‘aggressive, attacking, positive’ football keeping basically the same team that didn’t have a shot against a crap team last week. Genius.

Here now. Very quiet. I just hope the players turn up. Really need something from this game
