A tale of 2 teams who changed their manager in the autumn but have experienced contrasting form since.
Steve Morison has been unable to revive the fortunes of Cardiff City and they find themselves 23rd in the current form table, with only Reading taking fewer points in their last 6 games. Starting slowly has been a significant factor in their struggle for form and they have been behind at Half-time in 16 of their 26 games in the Championship so far this season.
On the other hand, Nottingham Forest have improved beyond all recognition under Steve Cooper and have won 4 of their last 6 to give themselves a solid chance of making the playoffs. They have picked up 22 points on the road this season, losing only 3 of their 13 away games and it will be a huge surprise if they don’t leave South Wales with all 3 points on Sunday.
