CARDIFF CITY V BARNSLEY

Wed Oct 19, 2011 5:54 pm

Okay, one draw and two losses in the past three games. Not good, but is to be expected. We have to improve our defence because Hull City had one of the weakest attacking options in England last year and we let them score twice past us despite Joe Ralls scoring a screamer on his debut after snubbing Fulham for Cardiff. My team against the Tykes is;
1. David Marshall
2. Kevin McNaughton
3. Andrew Taylor
5. Mark Hudson
6. Anthony Gerrard
7. Peter Whittingham
8. Don Cowie
11. Craig Conway
17. Aron Gunnarsson
10. Robert Earnshaw
16. JON PARKIN!!!!!!!

COME ON THE BEAST!!!!!!!!!!
As someone said on here;
"And they worshipped the dragon who gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast saying, "Who is live unto the beast? Who is to make war with him?""

Hull had the weakest attacking force last year, and this is a new season and have signed some decent striker in MacLean and Waghorn.

My team would be...

Marshall

McNaughton Turner Gerrard Taylor

Cowie Whittingham Gunnarsson Conway

Earnie Parkin (if back)/Miller (if fit)/Mason ;)

I doubt Mackay will drop Hudson but i would prefer to see that pairing at centre half tbh :ayatollah:

They signed MacLean last year but Waghorn is a quality Championship player! I think they'll do well this year.

I'd set up like this...

_____________________MARSHALL____________________

KEV ______ HUDSON (stand by him) ___ TURNER ____ TAYLOR

_________________KISS _____ GUNNARRSON _______________

COWIE ________________ WHITTS ____________ CONWAY

_______________________ MILLER ________________________

BENCH: HEATON, GERRARD, MCPHAIL, MASON, EARNSHAW

Im not convinced with the diamond and I'd rather flood midfield than play Earnie and Miller together.

WE NEED A WIN!

Gunnarsson works better as a lone defensive midfielder. I would prefer Kiss to push up more. I think Heaton is injured so Parish should come in :ayatollah:
