So that’s the midfield sorted, then?

It has taken far too much time, but Cardiff City’s midfield is finally starting to look as if it is fit for purpose in the Championship.
Cardiff dominated Bolton in the engine room area... and how often have we been able to say that against any opposition during the Russell Slade tenure?
The balance looks so much better with Joe Ralls and Aron Gunnarsson in the middle. Young Ralls, energetic and influential, is growing in confidence game by game, while next to him the superb Gunnarsson is a willing carrier who provided a platform going forward.
If Craig Noone was again in and out, grasping for the form we know he is capable, then Anthony Pilkington brought a new dimension. Width of course, but also a forward momentum of his own.
A giant leap forward indeed. Surely Slade needs to stick with this formation?

This is the way forward and Slade knows that.

Slade pretty much said himself that Whitts is not the answer in midfield but Ralls and Gunnar are.

Maybe just maybe if Slade keeps faith with the team we may see more consistent performances and go on unbeaten run And consolidate a top six position?

Bring Kennedy in for Noone and leave it at that Slade. Watt and Jones upfront with Saadi coming back from injury
