Be interesting to see where Robertson plays tonight, been described as a "number 8" but looks like he may be in that 10 slot unless there's a change of shape? Turnbull could be playing there of course

Well, now.

Alnwick - Kpakio, McGuinness, Bagan, Giles - Rinhomota, Robertson, Turnbull - Conte, Colwill, Kanga

Subs: Turner, Lawlor, Gbadehan, MFW, King, Tanner, Evans, Reindorf

I would have preferred King instead of Rino otherwise happy with that on the basis that Ashford must be injured if not even on the bench.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v BRISTOL ROVERS. Match thread

Why is Rinomhota starting ahead of King?

I can only assume it's due to fitness but it's honestly frustrating. Rinomhota isn't good enough for us and should be moved on.

Other than that happy with the side.

I'm assuming Kanga won't play the 90 minutes so Reindorf should get a run-out, that'll be interesting.

I agree that King should be in ahead of Rinomhota otherwise I'm looking forward to watch this City team play which I haven't been able to say about the first team for ages.

Anyone got an assessment of the strength of the Rovers team?
