Mixed emotions and striking concerns - your views on the derby

We asked for your views on Cardiff City as they prepare for Sunday's south Wales derby.

Here are some of the things you told us.

Jon: Worried that we don’t have the creativity pace and goals again this season and as for Sunday am praying that we can somehow get a result!

Mark: I think if Erol [Bulut] plays [Callum] O'Dowda further up field on left, [Chirs] Willock on the right and [Callum] Robinson up front alongside [Wilfried] Kanga, then [Aaron] Ramsey [Alex] Robertson in the middle with the new defence singing, we have a great chance of winning.

Lee: We have played some great football but ultimately two defeats. With the right tactics I think we should be looking to win the game with the quality we have. Time for Rambo (Aaron Ramsey) to step up.

Paul: Cardiff have to bring in a striker before August window closes. I thought that would have been a priority, but Erol Bulut seems too focused on defenders and midfielders. You can have the best defence and midfield in the Championship but if you haven't got someone up front to put ball in net, you're going to struggle. So Sunday's game away to Swansea will be a draw.

Rhiannon: Bulut's tactics are the same. There is no attacking football being played. We conceded seven goals in two games and then we sell our best defender in [Mark] McGuinness. Give [Jak] Alnwick a start - after that performance against Burnley, [Ethan] Horvath does not merit a starting place. I won't be surprised if in December Bulut is sacked or we are in a relegation battle.

Simon: Poor results don't inspire confidence but it really is early days. The performance against Swansea is for me, much more important than the result. I don't subscribe to the 'win ugly' school of thought as usually, it means 'lose often' because the style of football played is rubbish.

Sion: We have made a few signings and a change in style. I believe we will come good. Watching the Burnley documentary and they struggled until the end of August. We could still come good. I hope a different type of game in the derby helps is gel that little bit quicker.

Lyn: Whilst it’s still early days, the minus seven goal difference and lack of a 'seasoned' striker are concerns. The Swansea game has now become even more important (if that is possible). Patience and a bit of luck will be needed this season.
