All four players were talking to the South Wales Evening Post<\/p>\n
Andy Legg –<\/strong> “I’ve got to go with Cardiff because of the firepower they’ve got<\/p>\n “(Jay) Bothroyd and (Darren) Pratley are both huge losses to their teams.<\/p>\n “Pratley’s got a great engine and is always looking to get into the box.<\/p>\n “And Bothroyd’s important for Cardiff because it all comes through him.<\/p>\n “But if you look at Cardiff, they have other people who can come in like (Andy) Keogh.<\/p>\n “Pratley’s not as easy to replace for Swansea, so maybe he’ll be the bigger loss.”<\/p>\n Kevin Nugent –<\/strong> “I don’t know where my loyalties lie<\/p>\n “I’ve been fortunate enough to play for and captain both sides and I’ve never been a badge-kisser.<\/p>\n “I see it being a goalscoring draw, a really interesting game, probably 2-2. Cardiff have the home record and their goals against column is very good.<\/p>\n “That sets them up as marginal favourites, which they can use to their advantage.<\/p>\n “I’ve seen the clubs gradually progressing, and it’s a credit to both sides that they’re where they are now.<\/p>\n “Hopefully, both clubs will get into the\u00a0Premier League.”<\/p>\n Warren Feeney – <\/strong>“It’s a difficult one to call because both teams are flying at the minute<\/p>\n “Cardiff are scoring goals for fun and have probably got a better strike force than half the Premier League.<\/p>\n “Swansea are right behind them and seem to have got a steady team.<\/p>\n “I enjoyed my time at Swansea, but I was with Cardiff for a long time, and I can’t see them getting beaten.<\/p>\n “Swansea will have no fear, but I’m going 3-1 to Cardiff.”<\/p>\n Nigel Stevenson –<\/strong> “Sunday is a game between two in-form sides and I think it’s going to be a draw<\/p>\n “Pratley’s loss is disappointing because he’s a hugely influential player.<\/p>\n “I’ve seen Bothroyd in the derby last season, and he’s also influential for Cardiff.<\/p>\n “But I’m sure (Garry)\u00a0Monk\u00a0and Williams could have kept him under wraps. I’ve been really impressed with them, not just lately but for a number of seasons.<\/p>\n “Swansea cannot give Cardiff too much respect.<\/p>\n “Players will go through their daily routine, they’ll probably get pats on the back in town wishing them well.<\/p>\n “Then when the coach gets near Cardiff they’ll probably be a few butterflies.<\/p>\n “But it’s important to treat it like any other game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All four players were talking to the South Wales Evening Post Andy Legg – “I’ve got to go with Cardiff because of the firepower they’ve got “(Jay) Bothroyd and (Darren) Pratley are both huge losses to their teams. “Pratley’s got a great engine and is always looking to get into the box. “And Bothroyd’s important […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":453,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/453"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17693\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
