A well deserved 1-0 too. When he's fit I'd replace Grant with O'Dowda

I wonder if we’ll see the best of Grant when ODowda is fit and competing for that position?
He’s shown in the past what a good player he really is, and although he started slowly, he has improved immensely since the first start.
Is it fitness, confidence or just good management from Bulut and his team?
Like Bowler, I look forward to seeing any player returning from injury and adding competition, and it’s going to be interesting watching the fight between the wingers for the shirt especially since Tanners exciting recent performances

As it's Rotherham I'd hope our midfield would contain Colwill or Robinson in the 10 role

Cant see either Robbo or Etete start. I agree though that it would be good if either Robinson or Colwill were slotted into midfield to give us more attacking presence.
Rotherham's biggest threat will be Morrison at corners. Almost guaranteed to score.

Good news. Morrison seems to be injured and wont be playing. Lee Peltier will be though.

I would like to see that also, but I think it will be Siopis, Wintle and Ralls in midfield

Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
Quite impressive that Peltier is still playing such a challenging position regularly in the Championship at 36 - not a knock on him in the slightest (in fact quite the opposite) but a great example of how professionalism, staying in shape and leadership can overcome a lack of ideal attributes. You'd say in terms of full backs the game has been going away from what his strengths are for a good 5-10 years at least.

Let’s hope the players are switched on and it’s not another QPR !!!!

Spanking win Saturday, can't wait to get into the ground , let's hope the Swansea game attendees turn up to make some noise .
I reckon if we replicated that atmosphere every home game we'd be in the play offs.

Well said!
He's a player who knows his limitations and plays within them. A good old-school pro' who has looked after himself well. I see no reason why he won't be playing at least League One level until he's 38.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
We're going to play Wintle in an advanced position instead of using Colwill or Robinson aren't we?
If they're not up to it fitness wise, then they never will be at this rate. Give `em some serious minutes mun.
If Ramsey is out for longer than three weeks then we're going to need a better long term option than pushing Wintle up the field.
In Bulut we trust though because we have scored in more games than every team in the football league pyramid except for one.
Remember when not being able to score in a brothel was a thing?
I don't. I don't go to brothels.
City 2-1 :ayatollah:

Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
Love that Etete gets his chance to start :ayatollah:
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
Wintle is the new Ramsey!
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
Was hoping to see Robinson or Colwill start but wasn't expecting it. Apart from that, looks good.
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
Makes sense to give Etete a start. Has been looking much better recently after a poor start to the season
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
God I love Siopis. Wins the ball back so well so often.
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
Don't like this slow start...as if they think they have a given right to win this.

I think it's just patient build up play and good possession.
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
Yeah, think it's been a very confident start
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
Think this game is meant for Colwill...not too frenetic.

Not actually creating very much are we....

How long does it take to get Tanner on, and colwill….for that matter, we need to get at them

Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
Oof that is an awful cross by Grant.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread
Jacks get another penalty to take the lead, just like a week ago…..:shrug:

Tanner's on mate. Meite went off injured.
