Looks very weak. Harris just isn’t a championship striker.

Very little option at the moment with CR suspended

Hopefully the club will address this in the new year

Jaden Philogene's match-winning cameo off the bench against Rotherham United earns him a recall to the starting XI for the first time since the defeat by Huddersfield Town on September 17, the last match Steve Morison took charge of.

That means this is his first start under interim boss Mark Hudson and he will be desperate to make that starting spot his own, with Sheyi Ojo having been relegated to the bench.

The only other changes sees Mahlon Romeo, who has been impressive all season and made an impact off the bench on Saturday, come in instead of Tom Sang, who also has to settle for a place on the bench.

None of the injured players have managed to make a comeback just yet, either, with Rubin Colwill still frustratingly absent with the World Cup clock ticking. He, and Cardiff, hope he recovers from his hip-flexor issue very sharpish.

Curtis Nelson is preferred to Jack Simpson on the bench, while Max Watters is among the replacements tonight, with Gavin Whyte having been dropped from the squad.

Hoping odowda doesn't need to be pulled back to help cover nwkando errors

Looks very weak. Harris just isn’t a championship striker.

Who in your opinion should he have put up front then?
