MATCHWATCH : Cardiff City (a) sponsored double header

Delightful as ever

Why are you piping up? You agree with him do you? He is on here frequently talking rubbish, he shouldn't not be called out on it same way I or you are.

I don’t agree with him but everyone’s opinion is valid one way or another, doesn’t give you the authority to undermine what he’s saying

I’ll get my coat.

Rumoured to be lining up with a back three/five tonight

Having reflected, I'm torn on sticking or twisting with the shape. I'd definitely mix the XI ups bit though. Probably go with one of:

Cabral
Gunter, Morrison, Moore, Blackett
Adam, Pele, Swift
Olise, Meite, Baldock
Sticking with the same sort of shape as we currently have, though that would be a bit harsh on Ejaria and Obita

Or switch it up with

Cabral
Gunter, Morrison, Moore, Blackett
Meite, Rinomhota, Swift, Obita
Baldock, Puscas

Harsh on Pele, Olise, Adam and Ejaria and a bit generous to Rino and Puscas.

I genuinely think Rino is the better balanced player for a two man midfielder than Pele though. He breaks forward better whilst still doing well defensively.

In a 4-4-2 I personally think the only combo that could work is Pele and Rino. I have strong doubts over starting Swift or Adam in a 4-4-2 as one of the central midfielders

Obviously it isn’t the most creative duo in the world, but neither were Legs and Karacan tbf

We don't have McAnuff and Kebe though. As a former critic of Swift I think he's done enough to his defensive game. Adam less sure, but Ejaria or Olise are also options, though more with Pele than Rino.

[URZZZZ]

Didn't realise Cardiff have only lost twice under Harris in 16 games

They do seem to draw a lot though, but it's gonna be a really tricky evening for us. Unlike Millwall (A), we simply have to stop the crosses coming in. Similarly, we have to limit set pieces as much as possible, whether they're shooting range (Tomlin) or crossing range (all their lumps), also including throw ins

Thank you!

We'll be using different drivers and different coaches from that mercy mission, please rest assured.

[Royals and Racers]

3 changes
In McIntyre and Meite and Baldock
out Blackett, Puscas and Olise

Happy to be proven wrong, but...

No Adam again? Why?

Gone to two up top, great, but why then drop Puscas when we know he can only play in a two?

60 minutes Baldock, 20 Puscas is my guess

[Zip]

That seems a sensible side. It recognises the aerial from Cardiff by playing three centre backs and the need to play two strikers in the absence of Joao.

[URZZZZ]

So he says he feels guilty for leaving Olise out after his decent performance at Forest, then leaves him out anyway two games later

Don’t need both Blackett and Richards on the bench IMO

Who's playing the other 10 minutes? No wonder I keep sliding down the Prediction Table with those maths!

Think he is trying to match their physicality - understandable to rest him for this one - hopefully he’ll be back for our next one

Yes agree about Blackett and Richards. Would have had Olise ahead of one of them. It really highlights our lack of wingers.

Probably because Puscas hasn't actually looked very good, whilst Meite and Baldock have both scored goals more recently and put in more overall work

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Given the route one/stoneage stuff they played on Sat I'm pleased we've played the extra defender.
