3rd. Shame to see a Cardiff legend treated so shabily last season.

That would be down to only having 5 subs

Even when made the bench he was largely ignored

Was he though? As much as I luv the guy (legend) he looks way off the pace of what he used to be, no more blistering pace and for me he was behind Mason and Miller.

He was never given a chance to get his sharpness up

IMO he should have been used more throughout the season. When he came on against Hull he looked great, as he did against West Ham in the 1st leg, when we were already chasing a difficult lead.

IMO he'll end up at Forest or Cov in a player + cash deal for Keogh. But now with 7 subs he may be used in a higher capacity

Why not? Parkin went to League Two Fleetwood, why wouldn't Earnshaw go to League Two Chesterfield? Especially if he's guaranteed 1st team football.

Earnshaw didnt deserve a place in the first 11. He wouldnt have made things better either.
Because Earnshaw on his own up front is going to help when we lump it.
Needs to move on. It was a risk bringing him back. Not a player whos going to help us in the division.
Malky considers him in his plans? Why? Does he know Earnie is on 13K and we are benching him? :roll:

problem is our system, Earnie is a classical striker for 2 men up front, remember him and Thorne. As a lone striker he isnt effective at all, same as Miller.

Would rather send Miller on his way than Earnie... :(

Get him a target man and he'll excell. Rudy doesn't count. Bothroyd would be a bit too lazy

Re: Robert Earnshaw to....

Miller would benefit more from wingers and a target man.

Because earni is still a top class player and parking was a top class bench warmer :lol: :lol: :lol:
