TWO MAIN PLAYERS RETURN: CCFC TODAY'S TEAM NAMED

Team news verdict;


Well, there's a number of ways this team can line up but it looks like it's a 5-2-3, to me, with Romeo and O'Dowda operating as wing-backs.

Wintle and Sawyers are the preferred midfield pairing, as they often are these days, while Philogene will support a forward line comprising Kaba and Etete.

Will Philogene act as a No.10 ahead of the midfield sitters? Or will he be on one flank with Etete the other side? Will be interesting to see from the off.

Isaak Davies is dropped from the squad all together after starting in the draw with West Brom in midweek. Connor Wickham comes back on to the bench after missing the last two games.

I thought that, but Philogene in a midfield 3?

Pleased to see Kaba start, did well in midweek when he came on and got another goal.

Great to have Kipre back as well and Wickham back in the squad.

Big game today.

Tjat's a team that can win today; and a decent bench with (surprisingly) Connor Wickham back in the match day squad... :clap:

C'mon you Bluebirds...! :ayatollah: :bluebird: :bluescarf:
