My Team For Tomorrow

Based on recent performances and results this is what I would go with tomorrow:

4-2-3-1:

Marshall
McNaughton, Connolly, Barnett, Taylor
Cowie, McPhail
Conway, Kim, Bellamy
Campbell.

Subs: Lewis, Nugent, Whittingham, Noone, Helguson, Gestede, Mason.

Now I know pretty much everyone will disagree with me, however I feel our team just needs changing for a game or two. Players like Gunnarsson and Whittingham have played every game since December and need resting. By bringing in Cowie and McPhail you've got a very experienced midfielder who can pick a pass out from anywhere on the pitch and who can control the pace of the game. Then in Cowie we've got a player who will run all day long and do the hard work so McPhail can play his game.

I'd start Kim in a more CAM role, giving him the chance to dictate the play and in the position he can be very dangerous on the edge of the box. He had a great game against Blackpool on the wing, however I feel he would put in an even better performance playing in a central role.

Depending how the game goes I would bring on Noone, Gestede and Mason for Conway, Bellamy and Campbell. Now obviously should McPhail start his fitness will be a problem so Gunnarsson would then come on, however should he be okay I would bring Noone on as on the counter he will tear the defence apart and create chance after chance. Mason for Bellamy on the wing as he hasn't had the chances this year which is a real shame as last year he was on of our best players and deserves more games. Again he is quite speedy so can get up the pitch to support Gestede and also has a good eye for goal. I would then bring on Gestede for Campbell as on Tuesday he cam on and made a real impact. Won every header and held the ball up well bringing others into the game which is just what we needed.

Going for a 3-1 City win. Bluebirds!!!

I understand we've had a little dip in form lately but changing it that much is far too drastic.

I think we need to keep doing what we've been doing just with a little more speed and tempo, when we play at a quicker pace teams find it hard to live with us, the first 20 minutes against Leicester we were on the front foot winning free kicks and corners which is where we have been most dangerous all season. Hopefully Barnett will be cleared to play, that will give us a bit more confidence at the back alongside connolly who can bring the ball out of defence and get us going. I would also bring KimBo in, I really rate the guy takes pressure off us whenever he's on the ball, rarely wastes possession and gives us an extra creative edge, bring Kev in at right back and Bellers back up front and we're sorted.

Bellamy, Smith, Noone, Lappin, Nugent, Lewis, Gestede

Campbell.

Same as this but Mutch instead of Cowie for me. Been wanting this 4-3-3/ 4-5-1 lineup with bellers and noone since we signed Noone. Really think it could work. i like Mutch, big and strong. More of a ball winner than Cowie but can see you want his energy in the side

Not my Pick, Malky's...

Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Giles Coke has been ruled out of the game with a foot injury but should recover in a couple of weeks.

Defender Reda Johnson made his return to action last weekend and could be involved once again.

Cardiff will be without first choice centre-backs Mark Hudson and Ben Turner who both have ankle injuries.

Matthew Connolly and Ben Nugent could link-up in the heart of the visitors' defence again.

I dont think whitts will get dropped. my team would be

Marshall
Kev, Connolly,Barnett, Taylor
Gunnarsson
Kimbo Whits Noone
Bellamy
Campbell

my preffered line up.... dj hates a packed midfield... and will almost certainly go 4-4-2.
