' CITY MAIN PLAYER MAJOR DOUBT AGAINST IPSWICH '

Fri Oct 30, 2015 11:32 am

Kagisho Dikgacoi has been a mainstay in Slade's side this year, starting every Championship match this season

30/10/15

Walesonline

Cardiff City midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi is a major doubt for Saturday's Championship clash with Ipswich after limping off with a hamstring injury on Monday night.

The 30-year-old has started every league game for the Bluebirds this season after the majority of his first term at the club was hampered by injury.

He came off after 51 minutes of the 0-0 draw against Bristol City on Monday night and is now in serious danger of missing out on this weekend's trip to Portman Road.

"We’ve got one or two niggles as a result of the game or training, we will know more today," said Cardiff City boss Russell Slade.

"Dikgacoi is a doubt with a hamstring."

Hopefully Gunner has shaken off his rustiness and will put in a performance. Well I live in hope.

Whitts and Gunnar in the middle again then.

Which didn't work last season.

And which hasn't worked this season.

I would like to see Joe Ralls start in the centre and perhaps Pilkington and Noone on the wings. Actually I'd like Noone and Ameobi to start on the wings but Ameobi seems incapable of lasting a whole game.

I think they have as I'm sure Gunnar has replaced Dikgacoi a few times - I might be wrong though. :old:

Anyway, it certainly never worked last season and it was only when Whitts was suspended that the centre midfield looked as if it could compete.

ah well 10 minutes left of a game hardly counts as whitts and gunnar "not working" together.

i reckon they will be fine, though personally i would keep whitts left and play ralls in the middle.

Ralls in the middle with either Gunnar or O'Keefe and keep whitts wide thought his link up play and deliveries has been superb. Noone need to deliver better ball. Hopefully mason and maybe Pilkington or ameobi start up top. Revell not good enough and Mason needs to do more to stay in also.

Ralls in the middle!

Hope he plays 5 across the middle if that is the case. Whitts and Gunnarson will get over run.

Kennedy Whitts Gunnarson ralls Pilkington
