Oppos View – Cardiff

A bit about you:

Name:  Lee Davies

Current home town:  Caerphilly (Just outside Cardiff)

Birthplace:  Newport

How long have you supported your team? About 15 years – been a season ticket holder for 10 years

Overview of your club:

Favourite thing about your home ground: Being a new ground this season, it’s hard to say what yet but I guess my seat being on the half way line, right at the back, beneath the TV cameras is a decent spot!

Favourite match played by your team & why:  Barnsley 0 – 1 Cardiff City, FA Cup Semi Final, Wembley, April 2008.  To see my team in an FA Cup Final is something that comes around every 110 years for us, so I count myself lucky!  Only promotion to the Premier League would be up there with this for me…

Favourite player of all time who played for your club: Jason Koumas – had him on loan for a season, majestic.

About our forthcoming match against you:

Your favourite current player in your squad and why? Michael Chopra – when he’s on fire, best goal scorer in the Championship.

Player in your squad we should most fear and why? Chris Burke – tricky old fashioned right winger who gets past the full back and puts the ball in the box.

Player in our squad you most fear and why?  Matty Fryatt – our defence are a bit slow, give him time and space, we will get punished!

Up and coming prospect in your squad?  Adam Matthews – a 17 year old right back.  Been called into the Welsh Senior squad and tipped for a move to a Premier League club like our other youngsters we sold – Robert Earnshaw, Danny Gabbidon, James Collins, Cameron Jerome, Chris Gunter, Aaron Ramsey.

Where do you think you’ll finish this season? 4th

How do you think you’ll do against us? At the Cardiff City Stadium I got to fancy our chances of securing a win, 3-1 to Cardiff.
