" He must start for Cardiff City "

Ameobi must start

By Steve Tucker

Sunday 9th August 2015

It has hardly been a scintillating summer of signings at Cardiff, but the big arrival of course has been Sammy Ameobi on loan from Newcastle.

We have been told the guy is class and should excel at Championship level, so why did Russell Slade start the match with him on the bench? What on earth was the point of that?

To sign Ameobi and fail to have the confidence in him on the opening day seems strange. Look, it’s no point saying Ameobi doesn’t fit into Slade’s current thinking, you make the team fit around Ameobi and set up to bring the best out of him.

Anyway, forget out on the wing anyway, keeping things simple, bring Ameobi in to play at number 10 with Joe Mason.

Alex Revell, who was bizarrely favoured from the off here, was easily one of the weakest links in the Bluebirds’ side and again appeared not to be of the standard required up front for Cardiff.

He isn't quite match fit yet that's why.

Play him in the cup. Should then be firing on all cylinders at QPR.

He will need to do a lot more than he did when he came on yesterday, didn't look up for it, very lazy, work rate didn't match the rest of the side, reminded me of a skinny version of Kenwyne.

Looks like another jet lazy and do trick now and then

I thought he looked a bit lazy and said to my boy I hope he's not going to be a kenwyn or a Zaha. Hopefully will try to prove a point. Another load of crap reporting

He has to play,or will go back to Newcastle ...was that not part of the deal ???

Been told by who he's class? I thought the majority of Newcastle fans said he's useless?
