Ahead of our fixture with Cardiff on Tuesday night we caught up with Jordan Jones to get his opinion on Craig Bellamy, Cardiffs chances this season and got his prediction for the result on Tuesday.THE POSH BLOG: The obvious place to start is with Craig Bellamy. What is the feeling like amongst Bluebirds fans now that he has arrived?JORDAN: It has brought a huge buzz to the city, there are Craig Bellamy tops everywhere!THE POSH BLOG: I can David Andrews Jersey imagine. Has there been a noticeable increase in attendances as well?JORDAN: There has been a vast increase. Without Craig the attendance have been about six thousand le s on Saturday.THE POSH BLOG: It hasclearly made a big difference then! I heard an interview with Bellamywhere he saidthat he felt at home at Cardiff and was finally respected. Is that the overall feeling or are some fans still wary of his reputation as a bad-boy?JORDAN: Everyone here loves Bellamys arrival, they dont care about his past because they know he wants to be here and he lives near Dave Jones. Everyone just sees him as a great icon and are glad to see him here.THE POSH BLOG: Naturally, some feel this transfer is a little unfair as Cardiff appear to be spending above themselves after facing such financial difficulties; is this a view you share or is it just jealousy from other clubs?JORDAN: Its jealousy from the other clubs. The board and the management staff have made this transfer because they know we can fund this Mike Vrabel Jersey . The people who criticise this move would obviously jump the chance to have a player of Craigs calibre at their club. If you look at Crystal Palace theyve just came out of administration and theyve just signed Edgar Davids.THE POSH BLOG: Obviously this transfer has gazumped your other additions, which have also been impre sive, what have your initial impre sions been of Dave Jones other transfers? JORDAN: Seyi Olofinjana seems to be the player that we have been mi sing for all these years. Jason Koumas has come to the club again, which started the transfer craze off, and he seems very sharp. Danny Drinkwater seems a great addition and he works well with Seyi in the centre of midfield. I think the addition of Lee Naylor works well as we need defensive players. I feel Dave Jones has made the right signings but I think we could add a Yasir Durant Jersey few more defensive players.THE POSH BLOG: Youre obviously confident about this season then and feel you have a lot of quality within your squad. Who else should Posh fans be wary of on Tuesday night?JORDAN: I dont think that they should really be worried about the squad because they know what theyre up against but I feel there will be a lot of changes to the side.THE POSH BLOG: Oh okay. So youre not expecting your strongest line-up on Tuesday; does this mean Bellamy will Randy Moss Jersey be rested Im sure it will come as a relief to most the home fans if he is?JORDAN: Craig does need to get a few games under his belt but I dont see him playing on Tuesday. It will sort of come as a relief to the Posh fans because he has gelled very quickly and is playing sharply. I think Ro s McCormack will have to step up to the plate though.THE POSH BLOG: After suffering play-off heartache last season are you expecting promotion this year or would you settle with a play-off spot again?JORDAN: I do sense that we can get automatic promotion; every Cardiff fan believes this is our season and I feel this is our year because weve got a great set of players. If we dont get automatic promotion then I definitely think we can go up via the play-offs because we have the best squad in the Championship and we have players to cover near the end of the season to avoid fatigue setting in.THE POSH BLOG: Glad to hear you are expecting another good year. Back to last season again. What were your emotions like at full-time in the dramatic game at London Road?JORDAN: To be fair, I thought it Jalen Mills Jersey was game over at half time because we were playing brilliantly. I felt sick inside when the full time whistle blew but fair-play to the Posh players for keeping faith and ending up with a result.THE POSH BLOG: Finally, whats your prediction for Tuesday night?JORDAN: Ive got a feeling that it will 0-0 after 90 minutes and go to extra time where Ro s McCormack will score in the 115th minute.I would like to thank Jordan for his excellent answers and being very easy arrange this preview with. |
