Thread: Starting 11 as it stands

  1. #1

    Starting 11 as it stands

    Lots of options, but I'd go for

    Camp ( only because I've no idea if Etheridge is any good. I'd hope he is as I'm not convinced Camp is as good as he was)

    Morrison
    Manga
    Bamba

    Bennett
    Richards ( Patterson maybe when fit)

    Ralls
    Gunnar
    Hoillett

    Ward
    Zohore

    I guess we need another CM in there instead of Hoillet , but not many options at the moment. Hopefully something which will be dealt with.
    Maybe Pilkington would be a better option?

    Or 4-3-3

    Camp
    2 of Morrison, Bamba, Manga

    Richards, Bennett

    Pilkington Ralls Gunnar

    Hoillet Ken Ward


    Some pretty decent cover with the likes of Peltier, Connolly, Harris, Patterson, Saadi, and Mendez-Laing not in here. That would make a decent bench, with hopefully 2-3 more to add.

    Still have to move a couple out, all gone a bit quiet on No one and Lambert looks like he will cost us, although if he stays and is fit I'd still have him in the bench as he's better cover than Fred as target man cover for Zohore

    Hoillett doesn't produce enough to be in the starting line-up.

    Agree that he needs to be a lot more consistent, but not sure who else to put in who is any better

    We are not going to play our way to promotion are we!

    I'd push the boat out for Sam Gallagher (6'4"), sign that midfielder we were linked with from Belgium Sidy Sarr (6'5") and any other freaks cheap and available and aim to be physically dominant. We've got a few long throw specialists. We could replace Vinces drums with air raid sirens

    Sam Gallagher signed a new long term contract at Southampton yesterday with Southampton so that is not an option unless they are willing to loan him out for the season.

    Don't think Paterson is at Cardiff to be cover.

    I'm very tempted by the notion of three centrebacks, but I expect us to be play with a back four most of the time. Warnock has said a few times that he likes playing with wingers and I'd expect us to have two of them for home games especially, with our full backs also pushing on and a central midfield two providing cover against counter attacks - something like a 4-2-3-1 with attacking full backs.

    Re: Starting 11 as it stands

    Notice not one of you thinks Kadeem Harris should be anywhere near the team !

    Strange, as he has the only real pace out of all the players at Cardiff City.

    I am not saying that I m a great admirer (he needs a better last pass/finish), but just saying that none of you mentioned him.

    I've got Paterson as cover as I don't expect him to be fully fit by the start of the season.

    Once he's sorted he'll be pushing for Richards' spot

    He's literally in 50% of the starting 11s proposed above.

    I see what you're saying, but in Tim's post, it's as if he's an afterthought and the same with the others on re-reading.

    No one puts him in the team or on the bench, they say alternatively Harris, which to me is an afterthought.

    But I take in your point.

    Re: Starting 11 as it stands

    Etheridge
    Manga Morrison Bamba
    Richards Gunnerson Paterson
    Hoilett Ward Harris

    I think this is a reasonable shout for at least a couple of our games this season - with Manga or Bamba popping out into midfield to support Gunnarsson as needed. This needs the front 8 to work their arses off though if they're going to make it work

  18. #18

    Re: Starting 11 as it stands

    I think Morrison will leave once a better offer comes in and a new starting midfield is a really need. However if we had a game tomorrow then

    Camp
    Peltier, Bamba, Manga
    Richards, Gunnerson, Ralls, Bennett
    Ward, Zohore, Harris

    Re: Starting 11 as it stands

    I hope Mendez-Laing gets a chance.

    He's supposed to be an exciting winger. Maybe he'll get a start v Pompey if he's not in the side for the Burton game.

    We should be looking to improve on last season, not be exactly the same.

    Do agree , however Harris and Holiet should be the starters ,however he and on other should provide pressure for the wide positions ,we need them all eleven looking over their shoulders at the bench ,knowing if they fail some is up for it and capable ,and the Warnock will reach them off and play others ,utopia.

    Can see Cardiff City will produce some beautiful passing football with those players...

    Brazil 1970 esque.

    Good thing is no one gives a toss about your opinion.

    The usual 6 points off your useless pile of shit will do for a start
