Not had a Saturday home game since 15th Feb!
feel we'll scrape a 2-1 win
Does anyone know why Callum Robinson wasn't in the Ireland squad for the recent internationals? Is he injured again or was he dropped?
Pretty sure he was not selected. CO’D was but then pulled out.Quote:

Isn’t he managing a chronic injury - one that keeps flaring up?Quote:

No idea, although that probably applies to at least 50% of the squad. :hehe:Quote:

Sheffield Wednesday have been dealt yet another defensive availability blow, as manager Danny Röhl has revealed Max Lowe will not feature again for the Owls this season.
Lowe, 27, joined Wednesday in a controversial move from Sheffield United in the summer and has made 34 Championship appearances this season across the backline.
Owls supporters have been eagerly awaiting an injury update on the left sided defender, after he was substituted on the 39th minute of the Steel City Derby preceding the international break.
If you don’t currently have a retro shirt, visit the SuperStore or shop online via cardiffcityfcstore.com. In-stock, they currently have our 1987 (H), 1991 (A), 1994 (A), 1991 (H) & 1988 (H) shirts!Quote:

I hope Riza has got the profile right?
Not sure if we’re going to play the box system today, will he go for the double Pivot? or a low block?
If they have all been through the protocols and are on the grass, apart from those who are in the building will we play a high press with intensity or just use our physicality?
So many questions and with all the coaching jargon it’s no wonder most of our lot look confused
Here’s an idea, how about we just get it out to the wingers as quickly as possible and now that we have a real centre forward instead of a false 9???
Get into the box as quickly as possible.
It really is a simple game

There's the dreaded rail replacement bus between central and grangetown today
That's walkable, shirley?Quote:

Cardiff City XI: Horvath; Ng, Fish, Bagan, O'Dowda; Mannsverk, Chambers; Davies, Ashford, Alves; Salech.
Subs: Turner, Daland, Goutas, Turnbull, Colwill, Robertson, El Ghazi, Tanner, Meite.

424????🤣
Very attacking lineup, Ashford as the 10? With a 4 man defense with Bagan at CB. Glad to see we are going for it but can't help feeling he's trying to give us whiplash with all the chopping and changing of formations, styles and players.
Luton 1 up at Hull btw, would be a pretty bad result. Need a draw there.
Maybe Alves at 10?Quote:

Definitely shit or bust time.
Hope our defence can hold out against Patto. Not sure they can. Need at least 2 to win again.
We need a win. Running out of games. Draw is of little use.Quote:

It looks like Riza doesn't trust Goutas or Daland much.
Maybe easing them back in, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a Fish-Bagan partnership to the end of the season. A bit like Heath-Robinson?
Youth and pace up front behind Salach. Could be inspired....?
& I was thinking Davies as the 10. He’s obviously got us thinking. Ashford, Davies & Alves to interchangeQuote:

It looks a line up to me which you'd set up with if a goal down with 10 minutes to go.
Anything could happen.
I see they've picked Lowe who always seems to do well against us
For me Alves is the most out and out wide player of the 3, Ashford/Davies a bit more inside forward who can play up front if needed, but entirely possible I'm way off. I hope if he does have this grand plan of them interchanging he's done it in training and it doesn't look like total shit.
Probably thinking a draw is no good for Blackburn either and they will come at us from the off. Plenty of pace to catch them on the break if they do, but probably not a lot of service for Salech most of the afternoon.
That would probably be the more realistic scenario tbfQuote:
