JC and @Yaks75 miss out, with @Ebouadams and Ollie Tanner coming into the XI!


Well, this Bluebirds side can set up one of two ways. Either, Joe Ralls replaces Jamilu Collins at left-back and Ebou Adams comes into the midfield, thus keeping the formation the same, albeit with Ollie Tanner in from the off in place of Yakou Meite.

Or, Erol Bulut has opted to change formation to a three at the back, with Adams, who has played there in both Carabao Cup games so far this season, splitting Goutas and McGuinness, with Perry Ng and Ralls operating as wing-backs. Playing a 3-4-3 seems risky business when the tried and tested formation has been going so well this season.

Either way, we will find out in 45 minutes when they line up for kick-off. Cardiff's injuries are really taking their toll. Collins, Meite, Aaron Ramsey, Callum O'Dowda, Josh Bowler all missing and all important player

Ralls LB ?

Interesting team selection, thought Romeo might come in with NG at LB.

Looks like Ralls at LB.

Good front three with options from the bench.

Tough game tonight, would take a draw.

Not a surprise Collins is out, hopefully not long term. Surprised Bulut hasnt gone for Romeo at LB or pushed NG left and put Romeo on the right.

Without Ramsey, Collins, Bowler, O'Dowda, Meite. Last year we cohldnt have coped. This year the team still has strength.

Cannot believe we still have sawyers here painfully slow and would prefer ralls to stay in the middle rather than left back

I have no idea what half of the first sentence means or who you're talking about. Is it some secret code that the youngsters use?

Cardiff City : Alnwick; Ng, Goutas, McGuinness, Ralls; Adams, Siopis, Wintle; Tanner, Etete, Grant.

Subs: Runarsson, Panzo, Romeo, Sawyers, Rinomhota, R. Colwill, Evans, Robinson, Ugbo.

Surely Panzo should have started left back?

It’s taken from Cardiffs official twitter team announcement. JC = Jamilu Collins and @Yacks75 = Meite’s twitter name

What barnacle puts out an official club statement in pidgin English?
