About right me thinks^^

Tiny crowd of 5k

Is Bogle cup tied?

Is Bogle cup tied?

no, he can play this Tuesday

Warnock will no doubt rest many of the team that beat Wolves and Warnock is expected to make as many as up to 8 changes.


City 2 Burton 0

Maybe a game for Mark Harris and Cameron Coxe?

Where's Connolly ? Is he injured ?

Yes he is; well was injured, he was due to return back to training back end of last and in his own words was a week or so away. That was last Tuesday.

wasnt going to bother with this one but want to go see what the new striker looks like.


think he might well keep a strong defense out there. might see bennett back? and i assume manga and morrison in the centre.

starts for kennedy ward and bogle for sure, and probably tomlin too.


should be a good game.

good thing is we now have a depth to our squad now , so even if Warnock rests some players (as to be expected) we will still have a very strong team starting against Burton

Is Bogle cup tied?

no, he can play this Tuesday

That's good news. It'll be good to see him in action

The very different Cardiff City TEAM you can expect to see against Burton Albion as fringe players get big chances:


In the wake of Saturday’s thrilling 2-1 victory away to Wolves, Warnock admitted “there will be a lot of changes, absolutely. You can't play like that week in week out with that amount of effort.”



Monday 21st August 2017


There will be at least 7 changes to the Cardiff City team that won away at Wolves.

Brian Murphy will start in goal

Omar Bogle and Danny Ward will also start

' POSSIBLE CARDIFF CITY TEAM '

GK – Brian Murphy

Murphy will surely be handed a second start in this competition after convincing in Cardiff’s first round win over Portsmouth. The Irishman, who provided reliable protection when Warnock was left with few goalkeeping options last year, is an adept and consistent performer, no significant step-down in quality from Neil Etheridge.





RB – Cameron Coxe

The academy product was an unused substitute against Pompey but, with Warnock’s full-back options sparse due to injuries at the moment, the youngster could make his competitive debut. The Welsh starlet will have to take this opportunity with both hands if it comes his way.





CB – Bruno Manga

Such has been the brilliance of Sean Morrison and Sol Bamba in the opening weeks that Manga – considered by some as one of the best centre-backs in the Championship – has struggled for a regular centre-back start, instead playing right-back against Sheffield United and making a couple of substitute appearances.

The Gabon international will look to impress against Burton if he wants to land a starting spot.





CB – Sean Morrison (capt.)

With Sol Bamba likely to be rested as Warnock seeks to protect one of his prized defensive assets from potential injury, it may be Morrison who continues at centre-back, depending on the fitness of Matthew Connolly, who is also pushing for a return.




LB – Jazz Richards

It may be too soon for Joe Bennett to return to the fold, having nursed an injury for the last week and if this is the case, Richards may keep his place from the weekend. The Welshman is more comfortable at right-back but does a superb job filling in on his unfavoured left side.





CM – Stuart O’Keefe

O’Keefe should start on Tuesday night as Warnock looks to hand a rest to midfield linchpins Aaron Gunnarsson and Joe Ralls. The former Crystal Palace midfielder – brought in under Russell Slade – has invariably put in an industrious shift when called upon, and should do so again against Burton.





CM – Greg Halford

Halford should start as Warnock shuffles his pack in a midfield that worked tirelessly to disrupt Wolves on Saturday. The ex-Rotherham man is Warnock’s jack-of-all-trades and filled in at right-back against Portsmouth.

City fans can expect another solid, if not glamorous, display from the man whose extra-time goal sent them into the second round.





RM – Mathew Kennedy

Warnock predicted Kennedy would “tear up” League Two following his loan move to Plymouth last season. Boasting five goals from 17 appearances – and a number of exciting performances – Kennedy confirmed Warnock’s belief.

There is no doubting the ex-Everton man has bags of potential, but he has failed to make a real impact under Warnock and will look to capitalise on any chance he is given. An assist against Portsmouth was a promising start, and indicates his quality, but Kennedy needs to start producing meaningful contributions on a consistent basis if he is to worm his way in Warnock’s plans.






CAM – Lee Tomlin

Lee Tomlin’s guile was evident against Sheffield United, but Warnock's preference to field a flat midfield three against Aston Villa and Sheffield United restricted the No.7 to a place on the benc. But Tomlin should start on Tuesday night and will look to conduct an enterprising front-line and ensure City’s attacking potency continues.






LM – Danny Ward

Were it not for the sensational form of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Ward may well have found himself starting most of Cardiff’s opening fixtures. The £1.6 million signing has looked neat and imaginative on the ball when he has come on from the bench, but like Kennedy, needs to make his mark against Burton to warrant selection in the league.

Mendez-Laing demanded inclusion in the league when he scored against Portsmouth in the last round and the winger has not looked back since, netting four times in three game since — Ward needs a big performance to oust either Mendez or Hoilett on the flanks.






ST – Omar Bogle

Cardiff fans are likely to get a first look at their new signing as Bogle is expected to lead the line. The striker, signed from Wigan, is a lively and energetic forward who can hold the ball up, but also break defensive ranks by running in behind.

His role in the squad is clearly defined, with Warnock stating that he was a “back-up” to Kenneth Zohore, but a goal might make Warnock readjust his plans and indulge in the idea of a front-two on occasions.

3-1 city!

Omar Bogle is in line to make his Cardiff debut at home to Burton in the Carabao Cup.

Bogle, signed from Wigan last week, was an unused substitute at Wolves on Saturday as Cardiff stayed top of the Sky Bet Championship with a fourth successive victory.

Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock is expected to ring the changes against opponents they have already beaten in the league this season.

Anyone know if Bennett's fit?

Cardiff City could chalk up their sixth straight victory of the season against Burton Albion tonight (7.45pm kick off).

After four consecutive wins in the league and a first round Carabao Cup win over Portsmouth (after extra time), Neil Warnock's side will be confident of maintaining their 100 per cent start to the campaign in the cup second round.

Warnock admitted some changes will be inevitable for the clash as new players like Lee Tomlin, Danny Ward and Omar Bogle get game time. Greg Halford and Matty Kennedy are others who may feature.

The Bluebirds were 1-0 victors over Burton in the Championship season opener at the Pirelli Stadium.

Anyone know if Bennett's fit?

Heard he is pretty much there but more likely to be involved from the bench versus QPR on Saturday
