Another lame "bust up" rumour.

I think rumours like that, which have been started purely by attention seekers on forums, should be put together earlier. Those of us who can smell the bull should challenge any poster who first comes up with all this rubbish. These people are not 'supporters'.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the best fullback from the football league slowly get his chance in this side. He could be a steal at £1.3m

Another player taking loads of flack unbelievably is Cornelius. I hope that Malky takes the Kimbo approach with him and beds him in very slowly. Even maybe getting match sharpness in the development side.

Really stupid, making an obvious rumour up to why he hasn't been on the bench or first team when it isn't even close to it.

Brayford is most likely carrying an injury and doesn't want to risk it yet so got a run out v Accrington just to get going.

The other thing I've been thinking is Dando, Malky is very OCD when it comes to our shape without the ball. For all the flack the Connolly has been getting, I think he has shown very good positional sense in the opening three games. As have all the back four. Coming from Derby where they perhaps they set up differently, it would I'm sure take time to educate Brayford as to how Malky wants CCFC to play.

A player like Gary Medel was ready to be cut and pasted into the Cardiff line up, especially when we otherwise lacked a holding role specialist anyway. John Brayford is a player who has fought his way up from the lower leagues but as yet has no experience at the top level. Connolly grew up with Arsenal and QPR and is settled with Cardiff having been one of our top goal scorers last year (with a mighty 5!). Brayford should have to earn his right to put Matthew out of the side and I reckon he will as he is a player with great potential I reckon. Bed him in when he is ready.

Actually a lot of sense in this and I agree. Also the french fella should start now in front of Connolly.

I'm wondering where is Cathy going to play? He's going to be a great bench player initially because of his versatility. I also have a sneaky suspicion he may end up deputising in the holding role when El Pitpul is suspended. Though that is a guess as I haven't seen the dude play...

Oh and that's right - I've christened him Cathy because like f**k am I gonna remember that name!!
