    Not overly confident after Saturday's debacle. I think we need Wilson to really come good for us to have any chance.

    Last time we were outplayed we had a really good reaction.

    We need another.

    Cardiff City: Smithies; Bacuna, Morrison, Nelson, Bennett; Vaulks, Pack; Whyte, Wilson, Ojo; Glatzel

    Subs: Phillips, Bamba, Benkovic, Cunningham, Bagan, Evans, Patten, Zimba, Harris.


    I hope Pack/Vaulks and Whyte can prove a lot of people wrong. Not filled with confidence, though.

    Bagan at right back and put Bacuna in midfield.

    Pack/Vaulks starting together. Could be a long night. Let's hope Pack has a good one. No dodgy back passes.

    Potential for 5 players to make City debuts

    Keenan Patten is the central midfielder on the bench. He’s an impressive player and he’s the third Patten brother to have been with the Academy. Unfortunately, all of them have had more than their fair share of injuries- really pleased for their dad who I used to chat to at Academy games that one of his boys has made it into a first team squad.

    Has Pack ever had a 'good one', seen him lots now and all he ever does is recieve the ball in acres of space, proceed to turn 360 degrees with the turing circle and speed of an oil tanker, then pass backwards - sideways if we're lucky and he panics.

    Bet the first team wouldn't fancy playing the bench?
