His performances have been better since coming back as well.
Ralls isn't going to play as much, and I think McGuinness is a better option than Wintle as well.
He's never going to be a defensive maestro with skill on the ball, but he does what needs doing.. defending.
Give it to him, hope it's enough for him to stay.
Time for some score predictions.
Cardiff 4-0 Swansea
You saw it here first.
We have to press the **** out of them today. Previous managers have allowed swansea time and space, and that's where they can play around us. Hard work and force them, make them do things quicker, don't give them a chance to think, and get the ****ing fans right on it from the start.
Get stuck into them
They don't like it up em that lot
We don't play a lot of football
They don't like getting dirty
Over 28,000 expected. Guess I better get going. C'mon City, it must be our turn.

Allsop; Ng, McGuinness, Kipre; Philogene, Wintle, Rinomhota, Ralls, O'Dowda; Kaba, Ojo.

Pretty negative midfield.
Mind you, I've disliked his selections before and been wrong.
Etete not in the squad - maybe still carrying the Rotherham knock?
Sawyers and Romeo still jet lagged?
Philogene and O'Dowda as wing backs with Ojo off Kaba?
A grafting midfield to start with not much creativity.
I suppose Sawyers is tired, I'm surprised Wickham isn't starting. I don't see much of a goal threat in that team. We'll see.
Let's hope none of ours get sent off, again. It's going to be a tight one.
