We need 3 wins and 2 draws to essentially secure promotion. (86 points, enough to secure promotion in 4/5 of the past seasons and last year was quite a high scoring championship with three teams pushing each other at the top. This year it's us in front with three teams pushing each other. Behind.

But if we secure Promotion essentially in the next 7 games, that leaves two games. If that's the case, Malky may want to continue to pick the best XI maybe bar Bellamy, Hudson etc who he can afford to leave out. To get the title. Giving Etien Velikonja no real game time.

When was the last time a Cardiff no.9 failed to get a single goal in any competition for Cardiff?

Yeah, I reckon he would be worth a crack. I would like to see him playing up top at home in a 4-4-2 with Helguson. I think the two players would compliment each other in a big man/little man combination.

Last game or 2, got to be worth at least putting him on the bench and bringing him on for 20 mins or half hour. Could even start a game depending on how many we have free at the end. I'd like to see what he can do.

What Bout today would it be worth him having a crack from the bench today?

If we get promoted the job is still not done, the title should be our goal. :malky:

I agree, I believe he should've been given a chance this season but I don't think we should make any changes until the job is fully done

We should play our best team every week no matter what. I hope we can shake off this 'bottlers' tag and finish as champions. Would be great to have some silverware. :malky:

Am I the only one to believe that Malky may be saving Etien, along with Kim, for the Premier League?

Both would struggle with the physical side of things if they were playing in the Championship week-in, week-out.

Yes, that isn't an excuse to have not played Eti for the vast majority of the season, but I wouldn't rule it out...
