UNCHANGED BUT: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TONIGHT "

Unchanged XI. Great News / Smithies returns to the matchday squad

4 Academy players on the bench


Well, that's five games now without new signing Jonny Williams. How bad was that kick on the back of the knee?!

Sheyi Ojo, Joe Ralls and Junior Hoilett are all still absent, which means another very inexperienced bench for City.

Ciaron Brown, Joel Bagan, Tom Sang, Rubin Colwill, Mark Harris and Isaak Davies are all academy products among the replacements. Max Watters, another youngster untested at this level, is among the subs, too.

It is great to see Alex Smithies back, though. He appears to have recovered from his illness.

But Dillon Phillips is preferred between the sticks, a vote of confidence there from Mick McCarthy.

Unchanged XI. Smithies returns to the matchday squad.

No Williams again. Getting silly now. The bench is very weak and we'll run out of steam with playing the same side as Saturday. Take a draw now.

C'mon City 2 nil please

Jonny £50,000 will be on £10,000 a game if this keeps up

Nice nod for Dillon phillips he’s done nothing wrong glad smithies is back up and running strength in depth

Well Gents, our whole bench other than our goalie are all Accademy players or inexperienced due to our small squad and injuries.

The kids need to come on if we are very comfortable and looking good as that will give them great experience

We did' nt bring them on when we where 3 up sat apart from the midfielder with about 2 minutes left
I thought moore could have had a rest and stuck on the new striker

8 unavailable from official club 1st team website incl Sol and Vassell plus Tomlin, Osei, Williams, Ralls, Ojo and Hoilett. Our bench looks very inexperienced.

Spot on; to lose out tonight would have been tough on him and to be fair, Smithies acknowledged that. Goalkeepers Union still going strong at the club...

Was going to say the same. Exciting to see that on the bench. Hope they can make the grade if/when called upon.
