Bluebirds boss Russell Slade looks set to turn to the 10 outfield players who featured in the wins against Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield

Kenwyne Jones and Anthony Pilkington are expected to return to the Cardiff City team to face Charlton.

Manager Russell Slade is expected to revert to the XI that made a superb start to the Championship season and saw them second after six games.




Striker Jones and winger Pilkington both starred in the early season run but were left out at Rotherham last weekend as Newcastle loanee Sammy Ameobi and Craig Noone were given their shot.

Are you expecting a win against Charlton?
YES
NO


As the Addicks come to town, Slade is set to call on the same 10 outfield who won against Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield in the season's opening weeks.

The only change will be David Marshall, who is banned for two games after his red card at Rotherham. Simon Moore will replace him, as he did at the start of this season.



The form of Fabio is currently keeping Scott Malone out, while the likes of Bruno Manga and Aaron Gunnarsson are waiting patiently for their chance to impress.

Ben Turner (ankle) and Federico Macheda (back) are both recovering after surgery, although they will be ruled out for some time yet, while French centre-forward Idriss Saadi is being given time to adjust to playing in a new country.

Saadi is not injured, but needs to lift his fitness levels to those needed for Championship football.

He will be in contention after the next international break when the Bluebirds go to Preston on Saturday, October 17.




Charlton have gone five matches without a win, scoring four goals and conceding 12. They crashed out of the Capital One Cup in a 4-1 defeat against Crystal Palace and coach Guy Luzon said: “We need to move on from this, focus on the league and increase our levels of performance to bring a (positive) result against Cardiff.

“That is a very important game for us and we will do everything to take the points.”



Cardiff City team (probable, v Charlton) 4-4-1-1

Simon Moore; Lee Peltier, Sean Morrison (capt), Matt Connolly, Fabio

Anthony Pilkington, Kagisho Dikgacoi, Peter Whittingham, Joe Ralls

Joe Mason; Kenwyne Jones

If true, it would be a predictable selection from a very predictable manager

If true, it would be a predictable selection from a very predictable manager

To go with your predictable shit statements then
By the way what would your team be against Charlton ,let's have it before not after the game

Lets keep that team from now on.

I make it a point never to select the team or predict the score, I leave that to the anoraks on here

why is it a shit statement....because you don't agree?

Lets face it both should not have been taken out at rotherham anyway. I like ameobi but we only as sub.

i'd like to see ameobi given a go up top with jones
