I think we'll see some consistency and see the same team start against Cardiff that took to the field against PNE. Would prefer to see Vipotnik start but think he'll go with Cullen starting as a local boy who knows what a derby means.

I'm also predicting a pretty fiery affair with at least 1 red card but another solid 3-0 win for the Swans!!

yes i womder what if changes Luke will make.
I suspect he will start with the team that started v Preston but maybe switch Cullen for Vip.
Maybe sqitch Naughton for Key which migh address those issues ypu mention on the right and Naughts was very influential in last years home derby


Don't think he will play Naughton instead of Key, just think Key and Tymon are trying too hard instead of doing the simple things, I think they are being asked a lot, getting up and down the pitch against better teams they need to concentrate on their defending.Against Cardiff especially if they want to counter attack as has been touch on,happy to see Key start.

im with you i sort of expect the same staring line up as against Preston.
But did wonder if Luke might Tinker to add some experience for this BIG game.
If we go all put as we did Saturday i think we will be fine....I am worried about overconfidence given they have uet to win a league game...and form means nothing in a derby but heres hoping for another win

For balance, we beat them every time we played them under Martin. No one had done the double before he cane here, as you well know.

I do think Williams will prove to be a better manager for us though.

When he completely eradicates suicide ball and walking football , I ll join his fan club.
Cardiff game is one we can fully use to move it on up.

Just for balance.

We all know a few posters on either side of this particular subject whose views are a little bit myopic.

If Vetch is pointing out he beat 10 men, it’s only fair to say we beat Cardiff every time he managed us against them, when no one else has ever managed it twice in a season.

It’s also fair to say he couldn’t get us near those levels week in week out and his football was often boring and ultimately unsuccessful.

It’s not about fan clubs. It’s about looking at things without an agenda.

my 10 man reference was related to Last Saturday when Southampton failed to get a resukt against 10 men ....in fact it was nil nil toll the sending off.
In fairness to Rusty he achieved what other manager hasnin our history with the doube doube...but 4 matched out of 92 didnt do it for me.
Im sure Luke will be a good manager for us I like hoe he handles himself in pressers and i think he is very tactility aware and open to others suggestions

Not long now I would take a draw at the very worst but as long as the ref doesn't give a mad card or goal and we stay alert at the back no attempted silly passes we are heavy fav with the bookies. Cardiff nearly 3/1.

We will win and go top 6, Cardiff will be nailed to the bottom of the league and go into a spin and sack their manager. It will be an afternoon and evening to savour.

Although I’m extremely confident for this game, Vigaroux does worry me a bit. Not that I think he’s a bad keeper, he just has a tendency to overplay when he just needs to lump it clear.

He will get caught doing that now and then. I hope we don’t gift them a goal, I can’t see them creating much themselves bar set pieces.

I’m terrified when our keepers do this
Howeve,and I might be wrong,Larry is far less culpable in this regard especially compared with the Fish .
His distribution is actually better than Rushworth’swho often found touch. Larry seems to have better control and find Tymon most of the time.

He will be fine for us .

I’ve said before it’s about attitude and application. Cut the suicide at the back,do the basics of defending and move forward . Even with the squad ,as it is now,we have players who !I believe,can cause real problems for the opposition . However, we must really look after Zan . He is going to be crucial . If he doesn’t score ,who will,on a regular basis .

I want the capital cousins crushed under foot and humiliated . Nothing less .

No he doesn’t do it half as much as Fisher, is bigger and on early impressions just looks a better keeper.

No issues with his distribution either. He looks up and when it’s on, accurately chips balls out to our right wing. When he lumps it, he keeps it in play.

He just has that cockiness that makes him try to dribble round pressing attackers now and again. He’ll get caught, I just hope it’s not Sunday.

I’ve got a feeling it may come too soon for Zan to get 90. He’ll certainly play though. We’ve always had a talisman up front, we clearly missed that last season.
