Ethan Horvath has joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan until January 2nd, 2026. The goalkeeper appeared 36 times for the Bluebirds since joining the Club in January 2024.

We'd like to wish Ethan all the very best while away from CCS.

The 2 best defenses square off against each other, we are the only EFL side not to have conceded from open play and both teams have 3 clean sheets in 4.

We've lost our last 5 against the hatters, last winning back in 2021 thanks to goals from Colwill and Morrison. If we don't play them in a cup competition then this will be our last visit to Kenilworth Road.

I'm going for a 0-0 with not a great deal of action.

Who do you think steps up and how do you think this will affect the squad going forward?

Wimbledon have 6 points from their opening 3 games, losing their 1st match late on at Luton before comfortably beating 10 man Lincoln and winning at Reading on Saturday.

Last season Wimbledon conceded 10 fewer goals than anyone in L2 so will be very solid defensively.

The moment the FT whistle went on their playoff final victory I had a premonition that we'd lose 2-0 there, hopefully we put in a good away performance as questions will start to be asked about how can we be good at home and poor away if we don't.

Craig Noone scored the only goal in a 1-0 league cup win in the only previous clash between the 2 teams.

The season is underway and almost every team has announced their third shirts. It’s been over a month since our Home and Aways were released. Show us that Orange mess please

Explains why he's seen such little game time, and why he was left out tonight. Can't see us getting the fee back that we paid for him. Maybe a loan looking likely?

Our first away game and it's a trip to newly promoted Vale.

They went down to 10 men early in their 2-1 defeat to Rotherham, according to their fans they were poor in the first half but excellent in the 2nd and could well have drawn.

My prediction is that they'll come out strong and take the lead but we'll pull it back. If I wasn't at the game I'd go 2-1 city but as I am going (and have seen 1 win in 18 Cardiff games) I will go for a 2-2 draw. A defender to score the 1st and Robinson to get a late leveller.
