BOURNEMOUTH v CARDIFF CITY. Pre match build up
Now the squad is complete, it's time to start thinking about who might start the season for us. I think the most likely line up is:
Etheridge
Bennett Morrison Bamba Peltier
Manga
Ralls Camarasa
Murphy Reid Hoillett
Subs
Smithies
Cunningham
Paterson
Damour
NML
Zohore
Madine

I'd probably give him the next week to settle in and get to know the squad and go from there.

Re: Cardiff team to face Bournemouth?
Surprised that, so far, nobody thinks Paterson is going to start (somewhere.... anywhere).

Re: Cardiff team to face Bournemouth?
Bamba shouldn't be anywhere near a premier league midfield.

Nope.
Quicker the Spanish chap plays the better
Bournemouth would be ideal game for him , away from home , no home pressure type debut , they play a nice passing game which suits his style, it's sunny down there just like Spain.

Fair. I just fancied trying a 4-2-3-1 and couldn't think of anybody else with no Arter or Gunnar. And Camasaro described as an attacking midfielder.
-
Re: Cardiff team to face Bournemouth?
I'd be very surprised if we didn't start with a back 5, with one of Manga or Bamba stepping into midfield as needed to shield the back 4. Zohore has barely featured during pre-season and I think NW will go with a mobile attack to confuse Bournemouth who'll be setup expecting a target man formation.

Not sure anyone knows his best position yet. My mad plan, for at least one game, would be to play him and Reid as players furthest forward interchanging which acts as striker and which as attacking midfielder.
If he is fit, can see us testing the water in the first game and playing a strong 4-3-3 with Reid, Hoilett and Murphy as front line with Ralls, Patterson and Gunnar behind.

Maybe in for zohore in my line up but with Reid playing as a striker with Patterson behind him.

Re: Cardiff team to face Bournemouth?
Is Gunnarson fit? Forgot all about him. We’ve gone from thin on the ground to overcrowded in midfield in a matter of hours

I’d start Paterson at Right Back
5.4.1
Etheridge
Paterson. Morrison. Bamba. Cunningham. Bennett.
Murphy. Ralls. Reid. Hoilett (Diamond with Reid at front and Ralls the back)
Zohore

That's a good point. We're taking about needing a ride back. Paterson is a right back. Think we've all forgotten that 😁
