FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 ROTHERHAM UNITED. Match thread

Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UNITED. Match thread

Rotherham are apparently a tough physical side. Previous City teams could have matched that, but I doubt that our current powder puff squad can. Perhaps an opportunity for Etete to start? I know he can’t head a ball, but at 6ft 5ins he may be able to put himself about a bit better than the other option, Harris.

From what I’ve seen of Etete, albeit brief, I’d still say Harris has the nod for whatever role he needed to undertake.

Problem is I think Nkounkou must have a must play clause in his contract so we may have to put up with him for now. I would be tempted to play ODowda at lb and move Nkounkou further forward where he is more dangerous to our opponents defence than to our defence.

I'm with you 100%. I'd put N'k on the wing and just tell him to run at the opposing full backs and try and get in the penalty area, or at least get the ball to City player in or near the penalty area. He's useless as a full back but has occasionally, in fleeting moments, not looked too bad bursting forward with the ball at his feet. Teams are targeting him. If he is still a 'defender' on Saturday, the pessimist in me fears for us.

I really fear for the next few games that Hudson will do a McCarthy and lose a load on the trot. I would not be surprised at a 1-0 loss, but hoping for a 0-0, mirroring the worst game I've seen at CCS, a few years ago.

Can our players remember what it feels like to play with 11?

If you tried to out battle us, we’d just steamroll you. We became unstuck when teams played football against us. Move the ball from side to side, at pace, and we’d get carved open. That’s what we have to do.

No, the 0-0 Rotherham under Slade. Terrible quality

To be fair it’s hard trying to remember all the awful games. There’s been quite a few over the years

0-0 v Brighton in 2015 s the worst I can remember from the fairly recent past - one shot on target from both teams..

Two on target efforts, both from Huddersfield - could well be the winner.

Two on target efforts by City, four by Rotherham - a classic compared to the other games mentioned
