FIVE CHANGES: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TODAY "

Five changes

So Neil Warnock has made five changes from the defeat by Wigan last week, most notably the inclusion of deadline-day signing Marlon Pack. Warnock spoke highly of the midfielder following his acquisition from Bristol City and hopes he will add both bite and leadership in the middle of the park.

Elsewhere, Alex Smithies gets the nod over Joe Day between the sticks, while Callum Paterson is reintroduced in the middle of the park.

Robert Glatzel, as expected, leads the line today, while Gavin Whyte makes his first start for the Bluebirds alongside him in a forward three with Josh Murphy.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing is omitted from the match-day squad all together amid unconfirmed reports of an injury, while there is also a spot on the bench for new boy Isaac Vassell - expect him to play a part in proceedings today.

Glatzel is 6'4 himself. Patterson CAM.

Don't know what Tomlin got to do though

Tomlin is sick apparently about of today's squad

Happy with that, bring it on. Bogle subs Glatzel in the 71st at 2-2 to bang the winner in on 87th minute.

You heard it here first!

City to win 3-1

Must win today

2-0 city with early changes in the second half

Similar kind of line up to last championship campaign. Praying this striker is decent to give us a good chance.

He didn't make the squad for Wigan thought either.

That team looks pretty good to me. I would have gone for that team from players available. Looking forward to seeing Gavin Whyte play. Let's hope they can gel together as a team quite quickly.
I am also pleased that Bogle is in the squad as he offers something a little different. Hopefully there is to be a striker loaned to a doc 1 club it'll be Madine not Bogle)

Interesting to see how new players do, hopefully put more chances away than we have been for a while.

Bacuna £3 mil
Vaulks £3 mil

Is Paterson completely fit?

What does Bogle have to do to get a start?

Bacuna could replace Pelts. You cannot have the CB twins along side the Pelts who is equally slow, we are going to get murdered again sides with pace or through balls.
