    MATCH DAY POST: Cardiff v The Mighty Blades

    So after the narrow defeat at Middlesbrough on Saturday, we're back on the road with the long trip to Cardiff. Colin's side have started the season in excellent fashion, along with an impressive 3-0 victory over Villa on Saturday. For me this is a tougher game than the one we faced Saturday due the fact that Cardiff seem to have started in excellent form. However they have never in their entire history won their opening 3 league games.....

    Anyway....

    Any team news?

    Unchanged from Saturday?

    Or a slight shuffle of the deck?

    Ched to get some game time in Wales?

    We all know the disappointment of the manner in which we were denied a late equalizer at the weekend, but we can take heart from the fact we remained in the game until the final whistle. Anything similar tonight would be very welcome but Warnock's record against us since he left is excellent. Can't really see beyond a Cardiff win, perhaps 2-1. Really can't see us scoring more than one so if we are to get any positive result it will need an excellent defensive performance to secure it. Not saying to play defensive by any means, I just mean the defence will need to be on top of it's game......

    Anyway safe journey folks, and I hope we get something for the travelling faithful

    Cardiff are expecting to win http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/f...nited-13474038

    I'm going for a 1-0 to Blades with Ched getting the goal,but if they score i expect a hammering along the lines of 4-0.

    once again a point would be a great result wouldnt be suprised if we started with just 1 up front and carruthers or brooks just in behind even if we lose i expect us to stuff the dingles saturday so 6 points from the first 4 games would not be too bad imo

    I think Chris will keep it tight tonight and i am going for 1-1. I would be tempted to start Ched and Clarke with Duffy coming in for Carruthers. Samir and Billy coming on midway through the second half when Cardiff players are tiring.

    Another difficult test for us tonight, especially with the Neil Warnock factor. It will start to show whatwe learned on Saturday,and whether we have enought to change it around. I think we'll do well to get out of Wales with a point, but I think thats what I'm predicting 1-1.

    I'm more worried abart that big bull of a Centre Forward Zohore and the speed of Mendez Laing,than the Colin factor.UTCB

    Our strikers also need to be more clinical with the fewer chances that we'll get in this league as compared with Div1. I thought Clarke was waiting for a written invitation to shoot when he had that clear opportunity against Boro . When he did pulled the trigger it was far too late, the chance had gone.
