Team for Cardiff

[burnley007]

Hopefully a strong, attacking line-up for tonight.

Trafford
Roberts CJ Steeeve Pires
Hannibal Cullen
Edwards Brownhill Anthony
Flemming

Trafford

Laurent Cullen
Edwards Brownhill Anthony

I think either of those first two line ups gives us a real chance. I favour Hannibal over Laurent, but I won’t be fussed if Laurent starts.

[burnley007]

Laurent and Cullen are both defensive, we should be better than that, but it is Mr Safety 1st...

We scored 5 in a half against Plymouth and 4 in a half against Sheff Wednesday with them on the pitch.

Yeah but if you ignore that it leaves a bit of room to have another dull jibe at Parker.

Hopefully we win 2 or 3 nil and he goes missing from posting his highly thought provoking amusing posts

Whooooaaaahhhhhh fella! Don’t you know there’s an agenda to stick to here?

[Quickenthetempo]

Brownhill would be nowhere near the starting line up for me after Saturday.

We need the fittest fastest players available in the midfield.

Once the game is won then bring him on to score more.

Trafford

Roberts
Cj
Steve
Pires (unfortunately)

Cullen
Laurent
Hanibal

Edwards
Anthony
Flemming

[Hbclaret007]

Foster for Flemming please.

[nonayclaret]

Foster for Flemming please.

I think with Anthony & Edwards feeding him he will score.

[ArmchairDetective]

Prediction as above, but at some point I wouldn't mind seeing Foster in the 9 and Flemming in the 10 rather than playing the three CM's.

I wouldn't have minded this before Worrall's display at the weekend, now I'm not so sure...

I'm more worried about having to play Pires than Worrall, this negates it.

Whilst Pires wasn’t great on Saturday (was anyone?), he was nowhere near the levels of dross served up by Sonne and Worrall.

Whoever plays tonight, I’m expecting a positive result and decent performance, to make up for last Saturday. Nothing less than 3 points.

[Stonehouse]

Think it’s best to stick to a back 4 with Pires replacing Humphreys rather playing a different system and unsettling all of the defence.Cardiff should be beatable by the 2nd string we fielded at Preston .

[TheOriginalLongsider]

I’m expecting a really good performance tonight !

By that logic maybe we shouldn't start Esteve who was also poor on Saturday. Or maybe we shouldn't start Edwards or Laurent who were also invisible when they came on?

I can't think of 1 player who came out of Saturday's game with any credit. You could argue based solely on Saturday's performance that no-one deserves to start. Singling out Brownhill seems to be agenda driven. I would go with Cullen and either Laurent or Hannibal with Brownhill.

Brownhill is our captain and leading contributor of goals-if fully fit he needs to play IMHO.

[Murger]

Pires looked better in a more attacking role against Southampton.

[boatshed bill]

Trafford,
Roberts, CJ, Esteve, Pires,
Brownhill, Cullen, Hannibal,
Anthony, Flemming, Foster.

Let's hope you're right and I'm not seeing as he's playing.

[Anonymous Claret]

He's our only goal threat from central midfield.

As far as I can remember the other 3 have scored 3 goals between them all season. That was in 1 game against a very poor Plymouth side.
