Probably 3 of our better performances have come against our local rivals so perhaps my pessimism about Bristol Saturday is unfounded.
Come on you Bluebirds!!
From Riza today:
Robertson out with a hamstring injury but hopefully back for Plymouth.
Daland has had 8 stitches in his shin and is still out.
Ramsey and Meite available.
Tanner out with a broken foot.
Best case scenario for Daland that, was worried that there'd be a lot more damage from how it looked. Thank God Meite is back... surely now with other options out wide and up front he's nowhere close to the squad?
He has to start, if he gets injured again so be it but if he's fit he simply has to play.Quote:

A Cardiff City player has a hamstring injury, I am stunnedQuote:

I wouldn't mind this, I would be tempted to keep Robinson in instead of Salech thoughQuote:

Robinson can play anywhere in the front four, personally I think he’ll have more impact playing behind a CF
Colwill pulled Stoke apart and when he came on at Portsmouth soon had to drop back from a 10, to another unfamiliar role
He deserves a start on Saturday as a 10, and Salech should get the chance to show what he can do from the start
As I said, personally after that pathetic performance on Tuesday, I’d shake it up a bit, no one should be guaranteed a starting place after two shit league performances in my view
But each to their own
Salech is going to have to earn his stripes from the bench. You cannot drop or accommodate our best player. Salech might have to play up front with Robinson in a 2 but Robinson has to play there, he's the only player that scoresQuote:

The joint third top scorer in the league has to start against Bristol city, that's all i'm saying. Salech can be introduced and earn his way in like any other player ha to do, unless they're proven. Colwill didn't pull stoke apart, i don't think anyone has said that, he did well enough though, and capped it off with two goals, the first an excellent finish. He did pretty well against Portsmouth for 30 minutes, nothing spectacular, but well enough (in my opinion) to maybe get a start on Saturday. Oddly enough, i'm the only person on here who has said as much (Before you) We shall see.Quote:
