If I know this club, after holding off appointing Lampard for a so called easier game to start with - We get beat 1-0 tomorrow

But in all seriousness, I would be very disappointed if we can't get a win tomorrow

Disappointing. I know its nearly Christmas and that but still not great.

Not so sure, traditionally crowds dip at this time of year, were some really poor turn outs for the midweek fixtures across many clubs. We've the 5th highest average in the league, but it's an expensive game when buying game by game and many will be looking at the Xmas fixtures. Mate who goes to a few games a season just paid nearly £200 for 5 tickets for the Plymouth game. We should be happy with 26K+ tbh

Not sure if FL will have seen anything from Simms in recent games that warrants a start, personally.

Also think Collins will stay in nets.

Why Collins in goal? That attempt at a save for Burnley's first was pathetic, and the second wasn't much better. He's worth at least 1 goal conceded a game.

 

[Saddlebrains]

You still got an in for the team @Saddlebrains ?

Won't name team until tomorrow

Will be 4 at the back though

that'll fuckin do me

Would be happy if we never played 5 at the back again

If so I think it would be Bidwell for 45 mins, thereafter all is as clear as mud.

 

[mmttww]

4-1 the Hound … I had a dream and it wasn’t wet

What about in the prem next year?

Really hoping he goes with his 433.
Dovin
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Eccles Sheaf Rudoni
Hound Simms Mason-Clarke

Had problems in this system before when the wide attacking players don’t know the parts of the pitch they’re covering and we end up with the Swansea performance. You need someone a bit more disciplined like Sakamoto out side I think.

 

[Captain Dart]

Does anyone think the mysterious Brazilian Aussie we bought in the summer will get a place on the bench?

Definitely suited to be a 433 type player.

MVE definitely plays better with sakamoto in front of him

4-2 win incoming. No other reason than just optimism mixed with knowing we'll gift our usual 2 obligatory goals to the opposition.

I am realllllly curious to see Frank's starting team sheet and trying to divine and read tea leaves before kick off to figure out what plan he has in store. How closely has he been watching the last few weeks, who might've gained his early trust.

Bassette does not look like a winger at all to me. For all the praise he gets he has little positional discipline and his only aim is to score goals.

Kitching OG - with zero shots on target from them.

Kitching has scored more goals for Cardiff than he has for us

 

[David O'Day]

anyone know what the expected gate is?

Is he now fit?
I know he made a recent appearance but don't know how long for.

 

[clint van damme]

26k apparently. 2k Cardiff

 

[David O'Day]

26k apparently. 2k Cardiff

hopefully nicer weather and lampard gets a bigger walk up than expected

Well spotted. The first goal replay showed he was really slow and went through the motions . I didn't spot it first time but pretty obvious on the replay.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Staggered with a hint of piss in your case.

 

[Captain Dart]

One 50min & an 80min run out but only U21 games.

 

[Captain Dart]

26k apparently. 2k Cardiff

Bet it is at least 28K

 

[Adge]

3-0 to us. Shock we score early and keep a clean sheet for once.

He’s stopped f*** all since he came back in. We would be better off with a cardboard cutout.

A cardboard cutout at least 9 feet tall

Raphael will be a good player for us, players all rate him, just needs some minutes

He looked good in the clips in today's City Unseen.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Disappointing. I know its nearly Christmas and that but still not great.

Club expecting 26.5k

The fact that we now consider that "disappointing" is a great thing

 

[mmttww]

Raphael will be a good player for us...

If he can be fit enough for 20-30 mins before Xmas that'll be a big help. He's right sided, yeah? Need Sakamoto to get some rest and need options for that flank.

 

[quinn1971]

That’s all he can do, show it I training and take his chance when he gets it, just hope he stays fit, def player

Bit more physical than saka and he’s got the pace, can’t wait to see him play
