That's our best team so let's see what they can do.
Midfield should be very interesting

It’s probably what we expected in terms of a Cardiff City lineup today, as Harry Arter returns in place of Junior Hoilett - the only change from the side that faced Liverpool last weekend and the same team that beat Fulham 4-2 in Cardiff’s last home game.

It’s interesting that Neil Warnock has no named Kenneth Zohore on his bench. We’re fairly sure that’s not due to an injury.

Leicester make five changes, bringing back experienced players such as Jamie Vardy and Marc Albrighton for an emotional contest today.

The sides look strong, but we’re not sure what kind of game to expect until that whistle goes. There will be plenty of tributes to the late Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha before the game gets under way.

Amazed that IS is not even on the bench

So much for a strong team ffs

Get frustrated that we keep thinking a team with Morrison and Bamba at the centre of our defence makes it a strong team. They were both abysmal today and they with Hoilett who were arguably our three best players last year are almost certainly our worst this season. Morrison was appalling today and should give the captains armband to Gunnarson who looks like he gives a toss and dragged Bruno off the floor after a kick in the chops in injury time to avoid wasting valuable time being treated. Only Gunnar, Bennett, Bruno, Camarasa and Murphy for a brief spell put much effort in today. Etheridge had nothing to do. Looked devoid against a streetwise but otherwise limited team today. Poor substitutions far to late in the game. Need a big improvement next week against a team who are suddenly struggling. Not much in the way of anything positive.
