Kenwyne Jones to miss Championship opener with either Sammy Ameobi or Alex Revell starting against Fulham

Russell Slade must now decide on whether to partner Ameobi or Revell with Joe Mason in the first game of the season this weekend

Revell & Ameobi on wing - simple

That's a blow. Still our best striker.

Not so unless you want us to go backwards and play hoof ball
Mason and ameobi for me
Jones and revell on bench if we need to change it last 20 minutes :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

Got a funny feeling that Jones will be messed around like last year. Top scorer and left on the bench and then loaned out. I think that the club are desperately trying to offload him even though he is our best striker!

Why is he out? And why is everyone now putting Doyle way down the list when 3 weeks ago most were saying he should start with Mason?

Right....so lets get the picture here....Kenwyne Jones on £37K a week misses first game of season....

This is not a blow....this is a piss take.....soon as we get rid of this guy the better.....absolutely no good to us what so ever.

That's a blow, still feel he's our best option up front.

This would be my team :thumbright:

Why is he out?

Only a day or so ago he was "in contention" for the first game of the season?

I know we're paying him too much Annis, but it looks like we're stuck with him now. You can't deny he's our best striker when he's at his best though.

Although I'll admit his work-rate needs to improve.

Not guna be a popular decision, but I think revel would benefit mason more in kenwyns absence. I can't see amoebi and mason clicking together up front with their styles, I'd rather see revel start and we then have plenty of options to change things up with some good attacking players on the bench.

Good lol.

He's only good to come on if we are backs to the wall to rustle a few feathers.
Can't hit a cows ass with a banjo and touch isn't great not the quality you would desire to bang in 20 and make a creative contribution.

Ok maybe I'm a bit harsh.
I just don't think he is a main striker the dynamics with jones aren't consistent enough on the field

Re: " CARDIFF CITY STRIKER TO MISS CHAMPIONSHIP OPENER "

Doyle to always start ahead of Revell,in my opinion of course

Exactly, FFS he only just back from an international tournament and a 2 week holiday...how can he possibly be not be fit and raring to go!!!!!!
He's taking the piss and we are paying him to do it

surely you mean 37k not 50k
and in fact going on what youve been saying on here in the past
we save his 5k appearance money and 5k a goal he gets
plus with him starting we would quickly get back into last years tactics of hoof ball
not sure what exactly some fans want
actually I dont think some fans know what they want
theres an awful lot of contradictions going on at the moment :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

Re: " CARDIFF CITY STRIKER TO MISS CHAMPIONSHIP OPENER "

I agree with you all boys. He's away playing in the sunshine for his country and scoring goals against poor opposition and then for the first game of the season to play for his club side who pay him wages of approximately 50K he is not playing. Bloody ridiculous.. In the real world if you do not work you don't get paid- so why the hell is he? :twisted:

Everyone wanks off over kenwynne jones making out he is some sort of goal machine or like robert lewandawski of the championship, HE SCORED 12 GOALS IN 45 APPEARANCES, hardly clinical is it, and a poor record if you ask me, he is lazy and about as mobile as a tortoise. Dont get why people think hes so good give someone else a chance

Repeating the mistakes of Malky Mackays recruitment policy, isn't going to change anything, your like a broken record mun :lol:

Re: " CARDIFF CITY STRIKER TO MISS CHAMPIONSHIP OPENER "

Personally i'd like to see Mason and Doyle up front or Mason up top on his own with whitts played behind him.

Few players missing for the first game of the season. Its a shame not to have a fully fit squad.

Even with the guys who are out, i think we have a great chance of victory though.

Re: " CARDIFF CITY STRIKER TO MISS CHAMPIONSHIP OPENER "

According to WOL he has a slight muscle strain & Slade doesn't want to risk him.
What that has to do with his wages or some idiot even bringing Malky Mackay into it?
Pathetic.
