Will Fish and Ryan Wintle will be assessed this afternoon after picking up knocks against Swindon Town ahead of Saturday
Perry NG and Alex Robertson are not ready yet but could be in contention for Luton on Saturday week.
Fish being out is a worry. That leaves up with Chambers and Lawlor, with no-one to really step up as a sub. With Wintle, at least we have King, who is worth giving a start. Daland has basically been told to leave, so that worries me. I guess we call up Debono, Spiers or someone, give him a chance as a sub? I guess we give Tanner another chance, but Robinson and/or Davies might want some game time also.
Trott
Bagan-Lawlor-Chambers-Kpakio
King
Colwill 1 and Colwill 2
Ashford-Salech-Tanner
Bench: Turner, Giles, Debono/Spiers, Turnbull, Nyakuhwa, Robinson, Davies
You'd imagine Daland would be on the bench even if he's leavingQuote:

It says assessed after knocks. Both will probably be available.
What’s this all about? It’s a really odd cover. Have they photoshopped Colwill’s head onto Ledley’s body? If so, why?Quote:

:tea:
Callum Chambers, FA Cup in one hand, fag in another & Trixie on his knee is the one I’m looking forward to.

Well, we had great programme covers last season and we finished bottom of the league - logic implies that we surely have to be going up this season if where we finish is determined by programme cover.Quote:

Trott
Kpakio
Fish (Chambers if Fish is unfit)
Lawlor
Bagan
King
J Colwill
Davies
R Colwill
Robinson
Salech
We have two of the most talented strikers in the division, our defence is pony so would like to see them both starting until the defense is sorted out. Maximise our chance of goals.
I'd be half tempted to give Giles a go tomorrow, Bagan hasn't impressed so far this season.
Bagan was good on Tuesday and he gets stuck in unlike Callumity. Give him a chance to grow into his role.Quote:

Rotherham sold 304 tickets (although Pay On The Gate available tomorrow too).

Home tickets seem to be selling decently well, looks similar to the Peterborough game.Quote:

Rotherham have beaten us once since 2016 and that was a 5-2 bashing.
A very strange concept for sure.Quote:

They haven't won in any of their last 8 visits to Cardiff, just under 27 years since they won away to us.Quote:

Think the weather will affect play. Maybe a laboured game with very few chances and lots of changes of personnel.
I am hoping our stronger squad will out.
1-0 City with a late winner.
Ps make sure you take suncream if going! 🏜
Cardiff City have won six of their last eight league games against Rotherham United (D1 L1), winning this exact fixture 2-0 the last time it was played in September 2023 in the Championship.
Rotherham United have failed to win any of their last eight away league games against Cardiff City (D3 L5), since a 1-0 victory at Ninian Park in August 1998.
Cardiff are unbeaten across their opening two League One games this season (W1 D1), last remaining unbeaten across their opening three league games of a campaign in 2021-22 (W1 D2).
Rotherham have failed to win any of their last 11 away league games against sides from Wales (D4 L7), since a 1-0 win over Wrexham in September 2007.
Have they replaced all our blue seats with red ones?Quote:

At least we're not promoting Malaysia.
Strange pic for a home game
Moaning about programme covers, Jesus Christ just when you thought this message board wasn’t already rife enough with crusty old moaning gits.
Do you not agree that it’s a strange concept?Quote:
