Match Thread #9: Cardiff City vs Bradford City Saturday 20th September 2025 3:00pm

I see we have propelled ourselves into 2nd position now in the away form table, together with the 2 away cup wins, its great to see the turnaround of our away form.

 

Injuries / suspensions.

 

Just got back...


..from the off-licence.
I think I deserve a couple of beers after 101 minutes of cheering on a terrific game of football from my armchair.

Seriously though, well done to all those who made the journey and made a lot of noise backing the mighty Bantams, you're a credit to the club.

The last 2 games have been brilliant football and the manager and players are the talk of game at the moment.
You don't need £Millions at this level to succeed, you need belief and desire and it shows.

We will have a bad run at some point and we need to back them through it. We'll come good again.

I said to anyone who asked me at the start of the season I would be happy just to finish safe in this league for a couple of seasons and build a side capable of challenging for the play-off 2 or 3 years down the line.
After our start I said I'd settle for mid table, I haven't changed that opinion but the team are definitely exceeding all our expectations. What I'm saying is, I hope our base don't start panicking if we lose a couple on the trot, don't be like that lot down the road who are in full whingy-whiny meltdown mode because they are 5th in the division.

 

Potentially ourselves?

 

Agree with all of that bantamdave - just one thing to note......Power is now on four league bookings, hope he can control it before he gets a one match ban!

 

Are you the only gay in the village?

 

Yes I was made aware of that during the game. Inevitably he will serve a suspension but at this moment in time I have so much belief in GA that he will have a cunning plan up his sleeve

 

Alexander scoffed when Raynor mentioned the away form. He said it’s something like 1 defeat in 8 which isn’t as bad as I thought it was.

 

He just gets it/us
A refreshing change from the likes of Grayson,Hopkin,Adams in our recent history.
He has a drive for us like Parkinson did but with a personality

 

I said last week his signing compared to say £3m Taylor at the Dogs was outstanding . Hump has no chance on Swannies current form.

 

Scary times

 

Quote of the century here from GA:

"Go balls out every game" fecking love this attitude.

 

Absolutely superb today City, first half in particular , this season/year just keeps getting better and better every week. Today’s result has proper put a spring in my step before my night shift tonight!!
CTID

 

I know what you mean! We have gone from a fairly mediocre 2nd divison side to top of league 1 stroking the arse of Sheffield United.

 

Just no injuries, please. That's all I mainly want from the match!

 

Season 2011-12 was scary, this is much more fun

 

Aye we saw how we crumbled last season when missing key players.

Thankfully this squad is equipped to cover injuries but 2 or 3 key ones like last term and we may come back down to earth.

 

Another honest Cardiff fan review…. Just compare them to the self entitled tossers last week?

 

Sums it up. We are here to compete! Lots of noise about a relegation fight this term. I dont believe for 1 second GA and those above him were here to make up the numbers. We are far better than that.

 

The last two performances have been absolutely fantastic. Their goal way we’ve played at 2-0 has been the most pleasing thing after the first two 2-0 games where we conceded and went into our shells.
