' RUSSELL SLADE HAS A PROBLEM '

A Nice Problem

And he Says viewtopic.php?f=2&t=162679

Who will Slade select up front?
Kenwyne Jones will be the main man in attack, while Joe Mason works cleverly off him.

Jones is in fine form having scored twice in the last two matches, Cardiff have won both.

Kenwyne Jones is the man of the moment at Cardiff City





And who will play at the back?

Matt Connolly and Sean Morrison have teamed up at centre-back in all five Cardiff Championship matches so far and they remain unbeaten.

Bruno Manga played twice for Gabon last week so will be fit to play but he's not expected back in camp until Friday morning, so might be rested for Hull on Tuesday night.

David Marshall has added to Cardiff's defensive strength, since his return from suspension, and he will be happy to be back in South Wales after a disappointing international window with Scotland.

What about midfield?
Aron Gunnarsson was suffering with a groin strain before heading off for the excitement of international duty with Iceland.

The midfield warrior was captain as his country beat the mighty Holland, then qualified for their first ever tournament a few days later.

Aron Gunnarsson says he never dreamt Iceland would qualify for a major tournament

But he'll have plenty of time to calm down as Slade sticks with Kagisho Dikgacoi, Peter Whittingham and Joe Ralls across the middle.



Fabio is expected to keep his place

We must avoid the Whittingham, Gunnerson axis in midfield, it just doesn't work

What about the new striker Saadi, will he be playing?

Saadi not fit, which leaves us short of striking options on the bench with Doyle gone.

Revell and Ameobi it is.


From the pre-match interview with Slade it sounds like he does not plan to change a winning team - so won't bring Bruno or Malone back in yet.

Why do I have the feeling he will be another we wont see very much of.

We still have options though with Jones, Mason, Revell and Ameobi, are they good enough? im unsure

Declan John hasn't been mentioned in a while. Think he needs another loan spell.

Definitely agree to keep the same starting XI for this game as we're unbeaten!

Sadly, Slade is not interested in him, so Declan should go out on loan

Yeah bit of a shame really, especially being our only Welsh player. Where do you think his best position is? Of course, with Fábio and Malone already ahead of him at left back, it must be hard for him to get into the starting XI.

Slade will never change a winning team.

And rightly so, Declan will leave now I imagine which is a shame but if Malone and fabio keep performing no way back
