		Tough game this, Coventry have started the season well.  I imagine it's unlikely that any of the players missing yesterday will be available

		Wonder if this is the Championship game where we score in the opening forty five minutes for the first time this season?

 I hope it's not the one where a few of us get what we want in regards of a better looking line up and we end up losing, prompting MM to stick Bacuna back in when he's back..

		Doesn't seem a lot in midfield, Vaulks and Pack will have a rough day if they get overrun.  Not sure if Colwill is the type to be in a middle 3 but maybe those who have seen more of him would know.

 Why would he be in a midfield 3?

		Re: COVENTRY CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread 
		Out of all the players with contract expiring this year, so far only Smithies, Brown, Tomlin and Vassell haven't seen first team minutes. 
 
 Long ol' season to go but Mick's having a close look at (almost) everyone.

 I've now seen the lineup as club TV are showing it :thumbup:
 
 Nelson LB, Mozza and Flint CB, Ng RB, Pack sat in front of the defence.
 
 Not sure if pack is playing middle of a back 5 or its a 4 at the back with him sat just ahead, with Bagan Vaulks and Colwill further forward and Harris and Moore up top. A 4132 or a 532.
 
 Or is it likely we are just playing 343?

 I assume,  seems unlike MM to go for two in the middle or any kind of reshape.

 We've played with a midfield 2 for most of Mick's time as manager

 Maybe I just don't see Bacuna as a forward thinking player

		Coventry playing well, very quick on the counter attack.
 
 Cardiff Commentary making my teeth itch already.

		Mozza just now, as the ball comes to him off pack in midfield, has a pass out to his right 10 yards to Ng, turns his body and lumps it 60 yards to the left wing, fair one Kieffer nearly caught it but he was offside.. PLAY THE ****ING SIMPLE BALL IF YOU DON'T POSESS ****ING PASSING SKILLS.
 
 1 nil.

		That was very poor. Everyone in the box, short throw

 There’s an ominous looking difference in pace between the teams.

		Nelson is useless in possession and Vaulks seems to have no idea what's going on most of the time
 
 Other than that, going well

 Vaulks is a ****ing terrible player. Even his long throws are shit.

 Oh definitely, but he "puts himself about" so some love him.  That throw for their goal was f*cking criminal
