Halford starts v Fulham. Huws and Richards also in starting XI
Murphy, Richards, Bamba, Bennet, Halford, Morrison, Ralls, Huws, Harris, Pilkington & Lambert
Wilson, Peltier, Noone, Connolly, O’Keefe, Zohore, Harris
Academy player Mark Harris on the bench
We've put out quite a strong team
Hopefully Mark Harris comes on and gets some gametime
Stronger line up than i thought would be.
Fulham: Bettinelli, Fredericks, Odoi, McDonald, Cairney, Ream, Johansen, Sigurdsson, Piazon, Aluko, Sessegnon
Subs: Button, Malone, Edun, Adeniran, Jozabed, Humphrys, Smith
Looking forward to this - a chance to see some of our squad step out of the shadows.
Hope Richards is fit and up for it.
Just getting ready to leave the house for the game. I am hoping Mark Harris comes on at some stage. Fingers x for a good performance and in the hat for round 4.
Spedger
Just been informed we're expecting 6-7,000.
No Chris Martin for Fulham. He wants to leave.
Fulham make three changes from their last game. Malone is on the bench.
City make 5 changes.
All sections of the ground open but Canton, Bob and Family stand partitioned into about 2 blocks.
Must admit I expected more reserves to be playing.
Random question - where's that winger we signed from Everton, Kennedy? Is he out on loan at the moment?
Kennedy isn't out on loan.Originally Posted by celticknight
I think he was injured for a while running up to mid December because one of his tweets at the bottom of the page back then said he had done his first full training session in a while.
Well done to the 200 that showed up today
Ah, probably still crocked then. I was thinking if he couldn't make the bench today then he must've seriously regressed.
Yes
Great deflection. Cardiff 1-0 Fulham. Pilkington 8 mins
1 - 1 . Bennett struggling and beaten too easily to allow cross into box.

Bennett beaten again. Fulham in complete control so far.
37 mins played
Possession: Cardiff 22% - Fulham 78%
That Fulham right winger is very quick and a good player. He caused Reading similar problems.
Bamba is holding us together
When are the 15,000 locked outside gonna be let in?
