I still think we've got a decent squad. Play-offs definitely attainable add a couple more and the Squad is def top 4

Have we parted with Adam Le Fondre Annis? ...can't say I've seen anything official?

I think the squad is capable of even finishing top 2.

No, not yet.

Rydo, Your prob right

I do think the squad is certainly good enough to get into the top 6. Providing Slade applies the right management and tactics. 4-4-2 plain formation needs to change! I'd love to see this team and formation for Cardiff City this season:

(4-4-2 Diamond):

Starting XI:

GK - David Marshall.
RB - Lee Peltier.
RCB - Bruno Ecuele Manga.
LCB - Ben Turner. (Captain)
LB - Fábio.
CDM - Aron Gunnarsson.
RM - Anthony Pilkington.
LM - Sammy Ameobi.
CAM - Peter Whittingham.
RS - Kenwyne Jones.
LS - Joe Mason.

Substitutes:

GK - Simon Moore.
CB - Sean Morrison.
LB - Declan John.
CDM - Kagisho Dikgacoi.
RM - Matthew Kennedy.
ST - Federico Macheda.
ST - Eoin Doyle.

Anyone agree?

What happened to Nugent?
Is he still a City player?

(4-4-2 Diamond):

Starting XI:

GK - David Marshall.
RB - Lee Peltier.
RCB - Bruno Ecuele Manga.
LCB - Ben Turner. (Captain)
LB - Fábio.
CDM - Aron Gunnarsson.
RM - Anthony Pilkington.
LM - Sammy Ameobi.
CAM - Peter Whittingham.
RS - Kenwyne Jones.
LS - Joe Mason.

Substitutes:

GK - Simon Moore.
CB - Sean Morrison.
LB - Declan John.
CDM - Kagisho Dikgacoi.
RM - Matthew Kennedy.
ST - Federico Macheda.
ST - Eoin Doyle.

Anyone agree?

Think you've got it spot on mate. But would personally swap Noone for Ameobi (if we keep him), pull Whitts back into CM and let Mason play the free-roaming number 10 role just behind Jones. Mason's our best chance of success in my opinion.

Didn't know Noone was a definite goner - in that case I'd go with your exact XI (but 4-4-1-1). Not sure about Cotterill, Slade's just been won over by his couple of wonder goals I reckon. Far from the full package.

if we pick up cotterill for a small fee then thats another good bit of business from slade

As far as I'm concerned the fee wont be small enough.

Despite what is being put out in the Media Slade will not be bringing any big signings in or signings that will demand quite big fees until he gets rid of more players

Sounds like we're selling Slade by the title wonder how much he's worth

Priceless he is to good.

It's a squad that can compete that's for sure.

I'm a bit cautious on the final position but upper table is likely in my opinion. I can't say auto promotion hand-on-heart though and play-offs are such a lottery.

Improvement but maybe not promotion this season. It is positive though.
