' Huge week for the City '

Got to get at least 4 points to stop a gap forming between us and the middle of the table. That should set us up in good shape for an away trip to Rotherham, another team down the foot but whop can be so unpredictable.

So Cardiff City have three '6 pointers' potentially on the spin.

They have been better playing away so I am optimistic that with a few changes tomorrow night we can win. (With our luck, it wouldn't surprise me to see Doyle net a last gasp winner off the back of the keeper's head :o .)

Immers should be replaced by Huws. Manga back in as our 2 big central defenders had a poor day at Norwich.

is it time for Amos to start?

Maybe a start for Harris or Noone to feed Lambert?

Plus a bit of luck would not go amiss - 3 away games, 3 times we have thumped the woodwork. :roll:

Also we have to stop conceding goals in the last 5-10 minutes of games. That is 3 in succession now.

We will win tomorrow and build it up with more wins the players get more confident and more familiar with the new style over the coming weeks and months and will challenge for the top six its still very early in the season. :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Ben Wilson in my opinion has to be dropped,def not good enough.

At fault for two goals at Norwich.

Just curious which one apart from the first does he get the blame ?

Wilson positioning was terrible, first goal it went through his legs second he looked like he fell on the floor and last all though it looked an amazing goal he should at least get his finger tips to the ball from a strike that far out. We will miss Marshall more than we know it but that's just my opinion

I was somewhat underwhelmed over Marshall going but after seeing the Norwich goals, I now realise he is going to be a huge loss.

Some pundits reckon a keeper is worth 10 points a season.

Why isn't Amos starting rather than a rookie?

Mind you, if Gounagbe hadn't missed a sitter at B'ham, Immers or Zahora put away decent chances chance v Reading and we had not hit wood 3 times in 3 away games, we may (and really) should have 4-5 more points than we have now.

Our league position is possibly false.

3 games against basement teams will go a long way to establish what this team will do this season.

You have some good points there, I guess if city had won 3-2 then I might not be looking at how bad the goals were we conceded. I would like to see how good or bad Amos is if he gets the chance. Hopefully things will just click into place soon with this new system.
