Cardiff promoted. Who stays?

Impossible dream but just imagine we were promoted...

Who in this current squad deserves a place?

Manager and his team included?

Ridiculous I know but just because it ain't happening.

Smithies
Moore
Morrison
Wilson
Benkovic - (On reputation)
Tomlin - (if fit)


I wouldnt trust any of the others at the moment

Nobody,let’s be honest here,nothing to do with today’s display,most have played in the premier,and would have been snapped up,once we were relegated,our top performers were harter and camarasa,neither were able to start at other clubs since

Smithies and that's it ..new team new manager

The majority of the team will remain as they would be the core of the team so like Morrison Nelson Smithies etc. The only player who should leave are Murphy Hoilett Cunningham Whyte (Who Will Leave In January) And Flint. Then I would like us to bring in 2 wingers a midfielder a striker and a defender.

With previous experience of seeing the club not doing much business, I'd say most of them rather than some of them

We have a decent squad right now and that's part of this season's frustrations

Exactly how I feel looking at squad talent in every position yet still frustrating could do better as teacher said

The midfield is our downfall...not strong enough or creative...give ball away too often...often never win second balls
i think our defence might do better with a better and more pacey midfield in front of them
Our forwards might fair better as well....

Smithies, Wilson and Moore

Other than that no one. We have a decent top end championship squad and a lower leagues manager. Much the same as the same as three seasons ago ,but with a elite championship manager.

KEEP Smithies - More than good enough to be #1, no point spending money for moneys sake especially with a potential smaller budget than most around.

KEEP Philips - Decent back up to #1 Smithies.

KEEP Morrison - Has shown that he can be a colossus at the back. Prone to a few mistakes and a few missed chances but where else are we going to get a player of his calibre if we went straight back down?

KEEP Benkovic - Purely on merit alone I'd say. £13mill Croatian international.

KEEP Wilson - Clearly has the abilities but needs team mates closer/similar capabilities to really shine.

KEEP Moore - Obvious choice.

KEEP Ojo - Slightly more of an odd choice but I feel like he can take his man on and put in a few decent crosses. Who was the last winger that we could say that about? Hoilett = Aging. Murphy = Doesn't want to know. Whyte = Not getting a look in.

KEEP Osei-Tutu - Probably the biggest risk but he's young and got a lot to prove. Could be a good asset.

I realise Ive chosen 4 loan players but we've probably got more chance of signing the 4 than actually getting to the Prem
