Cardiff v Chelsea.

The difference will be that assuming they come up they'll go into next season with a squad full of confidence & they'll do ok - unfortunately

And their youngsters will have another years experience. They do concede a lot though so that could be their downfall.

Mid table at best. Davies, colwill, Bagan etc all proved they're not at any higher level. Lawlor on other hand will be in the prem.

I'm not watching the game but just checked the Chelsea team. Very surprised that they've put a team out like that in a quarter final.

We had a right go at city and they had a fair amount of first teamers playing

It's a very similar side, in terms of changes from the league, that City put out against us. Chelsea changed the entire starting 11, while Man City changed 10 (only Bobb kept his place). We also made 8 changes from the Norwich game for City, while I think Cardiff have made 5 from the weekend?

They've played well and look certain to win League One. The test for them will be playing this style of football (the Pep school) at a higher level. Their players are good enough to do it in L1, will be a bigger test for them in the Championship. What's frustrating is their fans were probably saying similar about us when we were storming League 1 under Martinez.

City team far far stronger than Chelsea's here. Agree re. Second para though!

City's second 11 is definitely better than Chelsea's, no argument there.

I’d like to think the Martinez league 1 side of 2007/08 would take this league 1 Cardiff side to the cleaners.

Britton, Bodde, Rangel, Anderson and (most importantly) Scotland? Yeah, I agree with you.
