What's wrong with big Ken?
Who would be play My upfront there?
From Wales Online:
What a surprise...
Well, not the Cardiff City team any of us expected. This is what we know about the players not in the team...
- McGregor is out with an ankle injury
- Brian Murphy has gone home for personal family circumstances
- Zohore and Declan John are both ill
Well, injuries and illness have perhaps forced Neil Warnock’s hand, but there is indeed a first Cardiff City league start for young Mark Harris, lining up in midfield alongside Aron Gunnarsson and Joe Ralls. Allan McGregor has turned his ankle, with Brian Murphy ruled out too so Ben Amos joins Harris as the two biggest surprises of the Cardiff team. Otherwise, it’s PIlkington for Zohore and Connolly for Peltier, with Craig Noone preferred on the wing to Junior Hoilett. This is probably as big a day for Noone as any other Bluebirds player.
It’ll be good to see a few of these fringe players in action, especially if your name is Neil Warnock.

Hope to see meite get a run-out for 15 mins at the end too. I've heard mixed things.
Fred G nowhere to be seen - says it all.
Be interested to see how Amos gets on, very much doubt we will be keeping him next year, and he's not exactly a fan favourite...
Radio Wales commentator saying M Harris playing up front??!!
Hope they do better than I think they will
Seems like it's another token appearance on the bench for Lambert. Has that bloke got the energy to even stand up?
75 minutes played and neither team has had a shot on target, according to the BBC stats.
Lambert and Meite on.
Someone could make a killing with that tee shirt!
And no shots on target after 81 minutes.
It's unfortunate The Lone Gunman has abandoned this message board because he's possibly the only person who might know the last time, if there was a previous occasion, when the team went an entire game without getting a goal attempt on target.
There was a pigeon asleep in the goal Cardiff were attacking at one stage.
I kid you not.

Manga was excellent. He made one mistake late on but other than that was head and shoulders above the rest. Kadeem Harris was noticeably poor.
