Just win it, get it done and then we could definitely do with the break.

The bad news is we're 15th in the League One current form table.

The good news is Blackpool are 22nd in the League One current form table.

They looked knackered, we will need a good few changes.

Surprised we didn't rotate last night.
Think BBM made a couple of tactical errors.

It's funny though. Posters (not necessarily yourself) were taking the piss trying to guess how many changes he would make. He for once made none and I've since seen some saying he made an error in not rotating.

It's clear he puts a lot of emphasis on the training before the match rather than keeping a settled team and I think overall he has been right.

I've not seen much of blackpool, I'm assuming they will be over the moon with a point and will look to sit in and counter. What changes do you think he will make? Besides Osho of course.

I’m all for Scanlon starting, seeing as we don’t defend too well, we may as well go all out, and Scanlon offers a bit more than Bagan.

Colwill J and play through the middle to Robinson. Watching him, he's often looking for the ball but...it goes out to the wings. Frustrating for him. At Exeter, Robinson looked hesitant to get involved in the warm up. Murphy's style maybe doesn't suit him. A change of style required.

Why would we change our whole style, that has us second in the league, just to accommodate one player?

Does he?

How does he offer more?

I will agree he has more pace, but Bagan has been one of our best performers this season.

Scanlon is highly rated at his club, and I'm sure he will evolve into a top player, but so far I haven't seen anything that puts him ahead of Bagan for the run in for us this season.

I expected the usual rotation and guessed at a team with, I think 4changes. For once he was wrong, although Osho didn't help.
For Saturday
Trott
Ng
Chambers
Fish
Bagan
Colwill J
Winty
Colwill R
Ashford
Robinson
Tanner

Will have a strong bench to bring on as Blackpool tire.

In the minutes he played, Robinson has done very well in this system.

I just think he offers more going forward, he takes throw ins a lot quicker too😀

Re: CARDIFF CITY v BLACKPOOL. Match thread

We just need to win, no drama……
If we win 5 games including the one v Bolton they can’t catch us anyway…..of course we never do things the easy way at ccfc so let’s just have a nice 2-0
