BBM Set for major changes : Cardiff City are set for major

BBM Set for major changes :


Cardiff City are set for major changes against Norwich as Brian Barry-Murphy juggles his injuries and eyes a club record for teenager Noah Anyadike.

Norwich home, due to his small squad a few injuries, BBM can’t for anymore injuries before Sheff United Home.

So the Squad tomorrow night will include more Accademy players and more U21 players.




BBM:

"We haven't got many options at the moment, so hopefully we can have somebody in."

Cardiff had hoped to strengthen before the Norwich game, with Barry-Murphy saying after Saturday's draw that he expected a new signing to arrive before Tuesday.


However, any new arrival would have had to be registered by midday on Monday to be eligible for the cup tie, and that now looks unlikely.

It looks unlikely any new signings to arrive in time for Norwich home.

BBM is desperately trying for more loan signings.

That means Barry-Murphy is likely to turn to some of the younger members of his squad, with the cup presenting an opportunity for players who have had limited first-team exposure.

How the f**k are we in this position already?
Is it BBM or The board?

Yeah because no manager ever wants better players. If the TV told the population we need to stay inside our houses as it's raining most would listen.

He's gagging for half a team like any other manager out there who are better than what's in there squad irrelevant what they can say to the media. We have lost loads of younster players to other clubs over the summer and replaced them with who??? That's without the 1st team that needed 5 or 6 better players 2hicba gain we have not got. The man put two goalkeepers on the bench on the weekend. Does that not tell anyone anything :bluescarf:

I don't care about the cup or cups but we are two league games in and look at the situation within. It's clear for all to see.

The replies to this already, f*cking hell :lol:

It's a cup game that a fair few have already said they'd put out a weakened team.

No significant injuries from Saturday. Moylan will be fine for Sheffield United and wouldn't have played in this game anyway. Rubin coming off was planned.

The problem with people getting outraged by everything is it then means little when there actually is something to be outraged about.

Surprised there hasn't been a mass suicide attempt from Cardiff City fans when you look at how some go on, personally think it's pathetic and am almost finding it funny how upset people are getting over very little :lol: :lol:

Hopefully we will see Eli King tomorrow

I feel as though he could have done well last season - I'm unsure about the Championship but lets see :bluescarf:

The question is why have we not been able to sign those better players after four months of knowing what league we'll be in this season? Apart from Moylan of course who looks excellent.

BBM has said he's being backed, has said he won't just bring in anybody, has said he won't sign players just to cover injuries, has said to blame him not the club for being slow with transfers.

Are his targets unrealistic or is Tan being a knob as usual?

I know which one I think more likely but it could be a bit of both.

You read another thread before creating that rather obvious question! :roll: :laughing6:

It’s mad, Ned. We know the situation, we already discussed the likelihood of a much changed team for tomorrow, and the question of Lawlor’s continued absence; and it’s now being used as another ‘bashing’ opportunity by some

The one post that does resonate a little, is Ian’s (Bluebird1977) post above. BBM will have his ‘wants’ but it’s not all down to him to get it in! :(

Totally agree. And yes, don't always agree with Ian, but always makes some fair points.

Chance to give players who have not had much game time - a part to play tomorrow .

Our main goal this season is to stay up and at this point - No more injuries :shock:
