Cardiff play the game in hand over Bolton so an immediate chance to extend the gap over 3rd place back to 11 points. Lincoln are away at Exeter, also on Tuesday.

Yep, a very big game for us. A win would put us back on track after the disappointment of Lincoln.

Rubin to the bench. He's not bringing enough to the table to warrant other players playing out of position to accommodate him.
Wintle as captain, Willock on the left, Ashford on the right, Kellyman playing through the middle.

Agree and hopefully Ng and Lawlor are good to go as well. They need to start every game going forward if available.

Absolutely massive, win this and we are well on our way again.

Bolton have to be very very consistent over the last 10 matches as it is, let's not give them too much encouragement.

Why all Rubin negativity?

Why all Rubin negativity?

You must be new to the forum. After any negative result then Rubin usually becomes the scapegoat. Even in victory a number of users will still try and pick faults with him.

He has been played out of position himself.

Yesterday he was stifled against a very good Lincoln side. As were the rest of our attacking players.

Last week against Doncaster, his first start since November, he got an assist and 3 key passes.

Trott makes me nervous . He was incredible first half of the season but his confidence going for corners and crosses is low. Is it too
risky to rest him ?

[PontBlue]

Re: BARNSLEY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

I was thinking the same, his levels have dropped off significantly since the beginning of the season where he looked unbeatable. Either his confidence is shot which could be linked to the Leyton Orient goal or he knows he won't be dropped as we don't even bother putting a sub keeper on the bench.

I find this staggering. Watching the game yesterday I felt he was more or less our only hope of unlocking them.

Agreed but sadly he was way too deep. Some lovely flicks, particularly the one that put Wintle into space but we needed Rubin way more advanced than he was.

Is that down to Rubin or BBM?

I don’t know what BBM told him. If he told him to stay up top then it’s Rubin’s fault, if not BBM should shoulder the blame.

Re: BARNSLEY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

No doubt in my mind that BBM got the team wrong. Colwill R is not a centre forward and should either played in place of Colwill J, or been benched.
My team for Tuesday, some rotation, but also back to 2 wingers.(Kellyman is not one)
Trott
Ng
Chambers
Lawlor
Scanlon
Robertson
Wintle
Colwill R
Ashford
Kellyman
Willock
