Jon Dahl Tomasson

"Last season we had great joy in the cup and we want to win each game, but we also need to rotate. Some players need rest and some players need minutes.

It’s exactly how we did it last season, but we want to get a great result and make it a magical evening."

As usual with the League Cup this season it seems, no video streams available and it won’t be covered on Radio Wales, I’ve paid £2.50 for the audio coverage on the club website this morning, just like I did against Birmingham.

Re: BLACKBURN ROVERS v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

We appear to have talen a nursery to Blackburn

Matt Turner, Fagan-Walcott, Giles, Campbell, Joel Colwill, Beecher, Twose, Crole and Ashford of the youth teams make up the bench

Re: BLACKBURN ROVERS v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Weakened teams from both sides, however, it is worth noting that Blackburn's bench is mainly made up of first 11 players whereas ours is academy players.

I'd be interested to know how many senior Cardiff City appearances our substitutes have, must be a max of 10 combined!

Re: BLACKBURN ROVERS v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

That's a good line-up...and subs apart from Campbell.

I’m chuffed with that.

Strong enough to win it with the XI and the ones that will be coming on are the youth with little risk (Mickey Mouse cup)

I think Ashford might be getting a game if Bulut wants to introduce some experience off the bench
