WOW 4 CHANGES: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TODAY "

Exciting


Four changes to the starting XI - Smithies, NG, @joshmurphy65 & @harrywilson_ come in!


Important to note that Jordi Osei-Tutu returns to the bench! We were led to believe he had to play another under-23s game before he had anymore involvement, but he has come straight back in among the replacements. Great to see him back

STILL NO LEE TOMLIN / STILL NOT FIT.

Ralls for Pack, otherwise cant complain

I’d keep Ralls on bench but otherwise I agree.

Vaulks and Pack again

Bacuna correctly dropped from match day line up after his last 2 performances as well.

I also think that Phillips is unlucky. Maybe Smithes is the more vocal without Morrison there.

Alex Smithies replaces Dillon Phillips in goal, while Perry Ng finally returns to the back line in place of Joe Ralls at left back.

Harry Wilson returns in place of Leandro Bacuna, who is o ut of the squad all together. We can only presume that is an injury.

Josh Murphy comes in instead of Jonny Williams, too, for a far more attacking-looking side to what we have seen since the international break.

STILL NO LEE TOMLIN / STILL NOT FIT / SHOCKING

A positive selection. It has the feeling of our last chance and McCarthy is going for it. Vauks should have been dropped. Awful last week

STILL NO LEE TOMLIN / STILL NOT FIT / SHOCKING

It is shocking Annis, especially considering LT was awarded an extension to his contract by Neil Harris last season...

Still no rest for Moore, playing with 10 men again.

A bit harsh. Moore needs willing runners around him. He was very isolated on Monday. Murphy and Wilson are our best two to support him.

I would have started with a back 4 with no Morrison.

Glad Ralls is dropped. I would’ve put Colwill in instead of Vaulks and it’s good to see Hoilett and Tutu on the bench.
Got a great feeling for today and on the back of that 5-0 drubbing.
Come on city let’s ‘av it

Why is 5 at the back now a must ?

Sang has done OK but he is not a wing back, we don't have natural width and I guess NG is on the wrong side, so why ?????

I wouldn't start with PacK in a 3 never mind a two. 3 vs 2 in the middle again means we'll lose the middle and live of scraps with no front foot ball.

We are sacrificing a championship centre midfielder to play another centre half of dubious quality. it doesn't make sense to me, but hey MM is the manager and i'll forget all this with a victory.

gone for City win BTTS as i doubt this will be to nil

The poor guy is knackered, not a reflection on his ability at all.
