Russell Slade: " Ross McCormack and Moussa Dembélé "

Fri Apr 08, 2016 5:25 am

Cardiff season continues at Craven Cottage this weekend with the Bluebirds taking on a Fulham side that have won twice in a week to ease relegation fears and are the second-highest scorers in the Championship with 61 goals behind Burnley's 63.



Slade pinpointed the firepower of ex-City star Ross McCormack and Moussa Dembélé in particular as something the Bluebirds would need to keep in check to keep their play-off push going.

Of Slavisa Jokanovic's men, Slade said: "Certainly I think they will be disappointed with the season. They have probably under-achieved looking at it but that can happen sometimes.

"I am sure they will probably learn from that, What they have got is firepower; with the likes of Dembele they have got real threats, can score goals and they are strong at home."



Anthony Pilkington is the Bluebirds' biggest doubt for the trip to Craven Cottage after being substituted against Burnley with a knee problem but there are no other fresh injury concerns.

2 very good strikers most championship clubs would love to have in their side. Hope they fire blanks tomorrow.
