Forest V Cardiff City Match Thread

Perhaps a more apt title for this match thread could be 'Forest versus Colin'.

I will always retain the glorious memory of Colin going into meltdown during that never to be forgotten 4-7 thrashing that Forest handed out at Elland Rd.

"Nottingham Forest's Garath McCleary struck four times as Leeds conceded seven goals at home for the first time.
Robert Snodgrass put Leeds ahead with an early penalty but Forest hit back with goals from Adlene Guedioura, McCleary and Dexter Blackstock."

His time at Leeds has to be numbered amongst his failures, along with Crystal Palace although he previously saved them from relegation.

To be fair to Neil Warnock he must be numbered amongst a select group of managers who almost guarantee success at this level.

His first real success was taking Notts County from the Third to the First Division.
Other notable achievements were with Sheffield United and QPR, taking both clubs into the Premiership.

Now at Cardiff City Colin is proving once again that his magic wand is still charged with Fairy Dust, moving them from concrete loaded relegation candidates to promotion contenders.


Bluebirds Boss, Neil Warnock, praised his side’s endeavour and work ethic following Tuesday night’s fantastic win at Oakwell.

The 1-0 victory over Barnsley lifted the Bluebirds back into the second automatic promotion spot, following Sheffield United’s defeat at home to Fulham.
“I didn’t enjoy the first half with the wind behind us, we were almost a bit too comfortable at times," said Neil.

“But we had some words at half time and I thought we were much better from the kick off in the second half.

“In these conditions, on a blowy Tuesday night in Yorkshire, you have to grind it out – and I told the lads that. They worked really hard and the goal came in the final ten minutes."

Callum Paterson's 83rd minute strike - his first in Cardiff City colours - secured a 1-0 away victory over Barnsley.

Neil Warnock made two changes from Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Brentford, as Aron Gunnarsson came into the starting eleven, and the newly recruited Rolf Feltscher was named amongst the substitutes.

Although Lee Camp is on Cardiff's books, the first choices G/K is Neil Etheridge [25].

Along with Lee Camp, Greg Halford has also followed Neil Warnock from Rotherham to South Wales.

Greg became Cardiff City's first signing of the January 2017 transfer window, as he joined from Rotherham United on a contract running until the summer of 2018.


Cardiff City completed the season-long loan signing of Craig Bryson[21] from Derby County on deadline day of the summer 2017 transfer window.
Bryson is a box to box midfielder, whose loan has created much angst amongst the sheep.

Cardiff's leading goal scorers are;

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing 5 goals, 4 assists

David Junior Hoilett 4 goals, 5 assists

Joe Ralls 4 goals, 1 assist.

Cardiff have also signed Omar Bogle, who hasn't found his feet yet in the Championship with 2 goals so far, from 5 appearances and 2 starts.
