JOE RALLS / MENDEZ-LAING :" CARDIFF CITY TEAM TODAY "

Sat Dec 14, 2019 2:02 pm

SEAN MORRISON / JOE RALLS RETURN :bluebird:


Neil Harris promised to make changes and that has certainly proved the case.

Sean Morrison replaces Curtis Nelson alongside Aden Flint at centre half as Harris looks to shore up his defence at Elland Road.

While Nelson has certainly not done himself any harm in recent weeks, Harris has opted for experience for this huge Championship clash.

In midfield, there appears to be the return of the midfield three.

Joe Ralls provides a massive boost by coming back into the starting line up, while Will Vaulks makes his first start under Harris and just his second start all season.

They will line up alongside Marlon Pack, while Leandro Bacuna drops to the bench.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Lee Tomlin are both included.

Strong looking line-up. Let's hope Ralls and Morrison are right on it.

Interesting...Madine out, Glatzel on the bench and Whyte on the bench. Good to see our manager putting faith in Tomlin though :thumbright: :ayatollah:

It is a very naive team selection

Believe big Gaz had an issue with his back. The only thing I can say is we look a bit workmanlike in the middle- not too much creativity in there or game changers.

Today feel a bit like when we were in the premier league, just hope for the best and hope it’s all gonna be ok!

We played poor against Barnsley and Barnet. Everyone says we have a big squard, I am therefore happy the manager has made changes.

Wow Morrison, Flint & Pack back as a 3!! Thought these lessons had been learnt!!

If we come away from our penalty area today we're in big trouble!!

Madine out was a bad back ....looks solid but not much creativity in midfield and slow in defence...settle for a point

What an odd selection, why why why. Really hoped we would go for a progressive manager after Warnock.

The club has little or no ambition, as was shown when John Toshack was sold :old:
