Let's hope Marshall averages out his performances across the two games this season and has an absolute howler.

I hope Baldock is available to start, also hoping KLL isn't too shattered after playing far more minutes than anticipated on Saturday.

My thoughts are that we were so dominant with the home fixture, that the away game should not hold any fears. However, It rarely works out like that at all. Cardiff more than most seem to be a home team and poor travellers over the years.

I have predicted an Albion bad defeat. I think we will go a goal arrears and let some more in when committing ourselves in a search of an equaliser. Same old story.

They also seem to be predicting that Cardiff will play in Red, so I wouldn't read too much into it.
