areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 This will be a real test of our top-six credentials today. I'm expecting a real battle from start to end, but hopefully the likes of Forestieri, Bannan and Lee are able to get on the ball and cause some real problems to Cardiff's backline, whilst we avoid giving away silly free kicks around our area. I'd love a victory today after our draws with Blackburn and Derby, so I'll err on the side of positivity and go with a 2-1 Owls win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since59owe Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Off to watch Gateshead host Stocksbridge Park Steels today but will be checking in on here to see how we are doing. Epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Cardiff are no great shakes. Drawn a lot I think, also poo poo defensively. I'm gonna go for a 3-1 win. Nuhiu, Hutchinson, Bannan. 6th best defence in division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Another excellent start to the whole matchday process - thanks Pauli. My predictions have not been much cop so far this season; had they been correct we would have cliched automatic promotion already. Still now's not the time to change my approach as confidence and optimism will be required today CCFC 1 - SWFC 3: Wallace( 23mins), Bannan (48), Hooper( 88) Good to hear that CC has no injuries to worry about The odds of your 1-3 and those scorers is 5000/1 (true, or fact as Rafa would say). Spookily, they are the same odds you can get on Vincent Tan winning the Best Dressed Man of the Year Award. Coincidence or not, I'm on the phone to Paddy Power.

Holmowl Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I stopped reading when you put Bannan as a goalscorer Strange thing...Hooper 5/2 to score, which given his record (elsewhere sadly) makes sense. He scores roughly one in 3. Barry scores one in fifty (really, look it up) but his odds today are only 17/2, which is one goal every 9 matches. Anyway, sorry Pauli for this tangent, now back on message... Head says 2-1 Cardiff. Heart says 6-0 Owls So I'm sticking with my 2-2. And FO I politely disagree with you. Cardiff away is not a "must win". Draw a really good result today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 6th best defence in division. And have drawn the same number of games as us. Other than that though, they're crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Had a dream last night that Hooper was on the goal line with the ball, and instead of shooting he chose to pass backwards...ballsing everything up. Tony Pulis was also our manager and asked for my advice on how to win. Was all quite bizzare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Don't end it there, what was your tactical insight? I said something about we needed to keep the ball more and stop rushing. Then walked back to my seat, and there was loads of scaffolding around. So when Hooper was on the goal line and chose to turn around and pass back out to the edge of the area, instead of tapping it in, I repeatedly punched part of the scaffolding. Like I said. Very bizarre. I also had a dream that ALL of my bets won today.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 And FO I politely disagree with you. Cardiff away is not a "must win". Draw a really good result today. Stand by what I said. Brighton was a good point. Derby was a good point. Reading, at the time, was a good point. Hull was a good point. We do need to be beating the likes of Cardiff though IF we fancy ourselves as play off contenders...especially today considering how tight it is points wise. We need to start beating the better teams in this league. Out of the top 12 we've only beaten Brentford..... A points a point and it's better than losing. But I think this is an incredibly important game & will stand us in good stead for the festive fixture pile up IF we come away with a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree, but still not a "must win".More a "would be a real bonus that keeps us in the hunt win". But not a very catchy cliche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) I'm going to ask the girls what the score will be. They always know everything about everything. Girls, what will the score be please? I'll be putting a bet on shortly. Don't let me down now. Thank you. xxx ;0) Edited December 12, 2015 by theowlsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 My dream last night said Palmer was injured just before KO, Nuhiu started, we went one down quite quickly. But we won 4-2! Nuhiu and Fessi bagging 2 each I love your optimism Nuhiu scoring twice in the same month I can go for that. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Guest timrud Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I love your optimism Nuhiu scoring twice in the same month I can go for that. The most amazing thing about his second goal was that he was off the pitch fixing his shirt (next to the goal), a wild shot came in that was going wide and he stuck his leg out and span it back into the net. I have some odd dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
