Interesting, thought Kpakio might be back in but maybe he's expecting a physical game.
Looks like Joel as the ten.
Good game for Robertson I think.

Let's hope we turn up and put a shift in, showing Stevenage some respect.
If we don't, they'll turn us over.
We have the quality but need to combine that with grit and desire away from home.

Let's hope Tinkerman gets it right with these changes again

Would have preferred lawlor to stay

Noticed Saturday towards end of game Lawlor was limping. And turnbull was poor. And Kellyman also looked like he was struggling. So guess that's reasoning behind changes

Yeah, Lawlor has played three games in a week too and he's always been careful with managing his minutes.
Huddersfield kicked Kellyman a lot so I didn't expect him to start.
Turnbull also played a lot recently so not a suprise he's on the bench.
But what a great list of substitutes we have.

Who's #10?

Joel Colwill I reckon.
He's come on in recent games and played that role.

What a bench that is

I would expect Robertson to be playing there in front of Colwill?

Likely two players capable of defensive duties at 6 in Wintle and Robertson.
That’s respect shown to Stevenage, and likely hoping these two can control the midfield. Joel and Robertson interchangeably as 8’s.

I think that’s a very harsh label to put on BBM!
It’s not like he’s halfway down the table and searching for a system that works. We’re top of the League and gelling better!

How it is harsh he changes the side every game it's reality. Nothing was said on the table and where we are tbh. Let's hope he's right

Pep does the same.
Tbh, it’s something some managers can do when they have a system. They’re not relying on individuals, they’re relying on the team doing as they’re told.
It’s a long season and with midweek games, you aren’t burning out your squad. This will make Cardiff fairly fresher than the rest of the league in the latter half of the season.
