Nathan Blakes prediction for Hull clash
Thursday 14th December 2017
Hull City have got a new manager in Nigel Adkins, who I really like. But tactically he's not in Warnock's league.
Unless Nigel has severely improved in that aspect, Warnock should have the upper hand this Saturday evening.
I remember there was a huge uproar when Adkins was replaced by Mauricio Pochettino at Southampton. People were saying that was a disgrace, but just look at the trajectories of the two managers since.
So despite the new manager bounce — which can fizzle out quickly — I still see Hull as under-strength compared to Cardiff, I believe the Bluebirds will win 3-1.
By the way, if anyone out there wonders why I only ever predict wins... that's because this season Cardiff truly look capable of beating anyone. They won't lose more than eight or 10 games. This is something special.
