CARDIFF CITY VS MIDDLESBROUGH

Hi all! Haven't been on this board for ages! Been busy with exams However, I've still been attending the Cardiff matches and I believe this is the best squad we've had in ages but this season is as usual a rollercoaster in form, you'll never know what's going to happen next game, we could hammer them but they could hammer us too. So that got me thinking...

Could this be the decider?

We need to be on top of our game to beat them and the same for them to us. I'd be disappointed with a loss, satisfied with a draw and thrilled with a win.

Here's my team considering McNaughton and Connolly are out

---------------------------------------------------------Marshall----------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------Hudson-----------------------Turner-------------------------------------------
Gunnarsson-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Taylor

-----------------------------------------Whittingham----------------Ralls/McPhail------------------------------------
(or Mutch if fit)
Noone-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Kim

------------------------------------------Helguson-----------------Mason------------------------------------------------

Subs: Lewis, Nugent, Oshilaga, Conway, Frei, Gestede, Velikonja

2-0 win with Helguson and Whittingham (free kick)

1-1.

That's a strong squad..

McEarhan has the ability to boss the game with Leadbitter alongside him.If had Mutch in midfield I would feel more at ease, however I can see them halting our home form.

If we've got injury worries at full back it might be an idea to put one on the bench (Declan John who was very good last night v Jacks) instead of Nugent (a centre back).

If McPhail is ready i'd include him on the bench too.

Apparantly Connolly is back for this one. I'd imagine Mutch is as well, if it was touch and go for Hull he should surely be back now.
I'd go with:
---------------------------Marshall-----------------------
Connolly--------Hudson-----------Turner-----------Taylor
-----------------Gunnar------------Whitts-------------------
Noone------------------Mason------------------------Kim
-------------------------Helguson---------------------------

Subs: Lewis, Nugent, Cowie, Mutch, Frei, Conway, Gestede
