Surely we got nothing to lose the way we are playing lately?

If Malky does that I'll run naked round the streets of Cardiff with a red scarf dangling from my knob.

The midfield balance / creativity is the problem not the strikers.

As the song goes. Frazier Campbell will always score goals.

You could tell Frazier was getting a bit pissed off last night, and who could blame him

The amount of times he was making a run expecting the ball to be played to him was unreal our midfield really need to shape up they are too slow with the build up play

Agreed. Absolutely no creativity or pace in midfield. Strikers not an issue. Personally I'd like to see Bellers wide left and Kimbo in there soemwhere. Don't care what anyone says, Whitts looks tommy tucked at the moment.

yea and the amount of times whitts seen him and was to scaired to try it was unreal. he just looked up at him turned to the side and tapped it sideways to someone else. campbell was tamping.

he deems velikonja not strong enough to play championship football but he plays whitts as a deep midfielder who cant tackle for shit and probably weakest strength wise than the rest in midfield, who don't need velikonja to solve our goal problem as Campbell can always score goals but it would be nice for eti to play since hes scored 11 goals in reserves so he must be showing malky he should atleast deserve a chance in first team.

are you the poster who occasionally sees the team train down the vale? :ayatollah: if you are have you seen much of eti and what are you're views on him? from Newcastle game and his little cameo at Bristol and brighton he looked lively but in fa cup he had a stinker but so did the rest of the team that day.

Re: Chuck velikonja in for the next game...

yes chris thats me ....in training he is very quiet ..in fact shy like ...he needs toughening up ...scores regularly for the development team but thats against mainly under 21s imo he would get battered in championship ...look at yesterday cambell was out muscled in the loan striker role and he has more exprerience than eti .....not sure what malkys dossier said about eti but he is not ready :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Etien was bullied out of the FA Cup game with Macclesfield! Way too lightweight in my opinion. Like the above poster said though, what did Malky's dossier say? Surely "not strong enough" would be a major attribute to go against signing a striker?

Campbell is still playing well and doing the right stuff. He just needs the assistance of a fellow striker or a more creative midfield. Whittingham needs to play further up the field. He also needs a rest!

He's not played in the league, you can't judge him on reserve games or playing with youth teams, adrenalin and confidence will lift a player x 100!

After all he was playing in the countries top league side, banging goals in all over the place, even as a substitute, and has international experience which is being hindered at the moment here. He also played in the champions league I think.....

Didn't do such a bad job against premier league Newcastle did he! He deserves a chance.

I don't think we need eti, Campbell was flying yesterday but had no service and was even having to play on the wings because none of the midfield could be bothered chasing loose balls or getting in there

They were all to slow Campbell has pace and nobody can keep pace with him from our midfield

Re: Chuck velikonja in for the next game...

Wed Mar 13, 2013 6:02 pm

eti has played in the league only 2 subs appearance at Bristol and brighton I think

i agree merlin
i remember adam le fondre playing in league two and now he is scoring in the premiership. eti seems to be a natural finisher and should be given a chance to play with quality players around him as when he played against newcastle.

I don't buy all this "he's not physically strong enough" bollocks.

There's plenty of fanny players in the championship and premiership already!
