Its not 2 changes its 3

Thats us done for then....

Re: TWO CHANGES / PLUS: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TONIGHT "

Wed Dec 16, 2020 6:08 pm

So the two changes we sort of knew would happen,plus vaulks.

Must say im not convinced with his selection,he needs to give benkovic some game time? Move bacuna back in midfield where he plays so much better and give bagan another shot.
Anyway 2-1 to the city!! C'mon

0-2 to Birmingham with that back 4 again hope I’m wrong

Re: TWO CHANGES / PLUS: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TONIGHT "

Wed Dec 16, 2020 6:11 pm

I’m not going to wait til end of match to criticise. I’d have picked Benkovic and move Nelson to RB with Bacuna in midfield. Not sure about Whyte either.
I’ll be the first to say I was wrong if we win tho :bluescarf:

Bench simply named itself. There are no other bodies available.

Pleased for the kids, but I really think its the starting XI that have to do the job tonight.

The experience on the bench is in defence.

Still hoping for the points, but we might be limited in being able to change things up if things not going to plan. In saying that, youngsters have to be given a chance to shine, so if they get on the pitch, I hope they grasp their chance with both hands.

Unless he’s injured that’s it he’s finished and won’t play for us again

Hopefully on the transfer list for Jan.

Too attack minded for our manager is Murphy

Re: TWO CHANGES / PLUS: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TONIGHT "

Wed Dec 16, 2020 6:34 pm

This is a must win game for Harris especially after last Saturday's performance

Re: TWO CHANGES / PLUS: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TONIGHT "

Wed Dec 16, 2020 6:34 pm

Harris needs to come clean with Benkovic he’s mugging us fans off. The blatantly obvious for all was we needed Baccuna in the middle. Whyte is poor at best even makes Murphy look good and that’s nigh on impossible. Desperate for Neil to turn things around but he’s not seeing what everyone else is crying out for.

Re: TWO CHANGES / PLUS: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TONIGHT "

Lets hope he is being lined up for sale. Far too inconsistent to justify inclusion. He cant be happy here and needs a new club to try to sort himself out.

Re: TWO CHANGES / PLUS: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TONIGHT "

Wed Dec 16, 2020 6:39 pm

I think that’s the best lineup he could have picked I’m optimistic. Whyte will be interesting... always have this feeling he will come good but of course no idea why! He will work hard at least. Is it on red button or do I need to purchase? Just got in from work

Red button fella

I think Murphy would do a job up top or in the no.10 role. That bench doesn't have many attacking options if needed - unless the youngsters can do a job. Seems strange to leave him out unless injured or there's a sale lined up

Could be a good time to give Mark Harris a rest and use him off the bench, if required. He has done well other than the Swansea game but unlike some, I am not a conspiracy theorist on that one

Would like to have seen a change at the back with Benkovic making his City debut with Morrison alongside him and Nelson going to right back rather than Bacuna but Neil Harris seems to like the other things Bacuna has to offer

A win tonight will go a long way to easing Sunday's performance/result and we should be 'up' for this game :ayatollah:

I’m with you mate.
He hasn’t got a lot of options as we seem pretty bare tonight with regards to players available but I’d definitely look to start Benkovic and push Bacuna into midfield even though I think he’s doing a decent job filling in there.
Something doesn’t seem right to me!
