Is Sawyers available? Have nothing against him but if he gets on the pitch before Joel Colwill...

I think it would be harsh on Colwill to come into this game chasing shadows after getting zero minutes. It’s frustrating he hasn’t had minutes previously,

Southampton must be rubbing their hands with glee given the City handing them the game with all their supposed injuries. Their rivals at the top of the table won’t be so happy.

Why do you keep questioning the validity of injuries? Do you think Cardiff are for some reason colluding with a Russell Martin managed Southampton to give them 3 points?

I just think some of our sick note players need to “man up”. Having competed in fairly high class athletics from a teenager until I was about 45, I have plenty of experience of managing my injuries and carrying on training and racing through minor niggles in over 800 competitive events. With all the medical help our players receive, this shouldn’t be too difficult for them.

Totally agree. A few on here have questioned his effort in matches but as a season ticket holder who has missed just a couple of home games this season, I've never seen him put anything other than 100% into his game.

I'm sure this will get ridiculed, but a few weeks ago me and the boy went to the family fun day and they went through a few training moves for an hour before the players all decided to sign autographs.

One "game" involved a 1 vs the goal keeper, then each side added a player until it went to something like 5v5. Robinson was the only player who hit the target virtually every time, scored most or forced the keeper into good saves. Diedhiou and Meite were also involved and both could barely hit the target, not just those but virtually everyone else.

Yes, I know it was a relaxed session and there was hardly any sort of sharp focus, so I'm not using this to assassinate any of the others playing, but it was very noticeable that Robinson was by far the best finisher during that session.

Why should they risk further injury in an end of season game?

If they're not fit, they're not fit. If you've competed in any kind of sport you'll know how hard it is to compete if you aren't at it physically

It's also Bulut's squad to use as he sees fit, even if they're not injured he can play whoever he likes. Besides, given recent performances and how we played at St Mary's there's a fair chance the reserves will put up more of a fight against Southampton.

I’ve noticed this in warm ups. The difference with seeing Wales players finish was stark. City put most of their shots in row z.
