There's always hope. a bit like golf, loads of crap shots but it is the only one of the day that is half decent that makes you come back again in the hope that next time all the shots will be miraculously great! its like everything before has been a fluke and normality will return even though nothing has changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Hobhead Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Cardiff don't play a possession based game. That should suit us. We have the physicality in our side to match them, but whether we have the fitness I'm not so sure. But yeah, this is a game where with the players at GR's disposal I'd expect us to look and fare better. My concern being a lack of pace as always. I fancy another draw but we really need more if we are to get our season going. Carson; Wisdom, Keogh, Shackell, Forsyth; Thorne, Johnson; Russell, Lawrence, Weimann; Martin.

Your first and second paragraphs I fully agree with, but not your team selection. Davies had probably his best game in a Rams shirt at Brentford and you want to drop him for Shackell???? Similarly you want to leave out our top scorer???? Am I missing something, are they injured or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I think we'll see the same team as Tuesday. However,I'd go with Carson, Wisdom, Keogh, Davies, Olson, Huddlestone leadley Lawrence. Vydra. Russell Nugent Six back to wall defensive players, counter through vydra Lawrence and Jr, nuge for persistent pest value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PodgeyRam Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Having seen Cardiff play earlier in the season I'm not looking forward to this. Their wingers (Mendez-Laing and Hoilett) like to cut inside from the wing, which is right into our weakest area of the pitch. Bamba and Morrison are a big, bruising pair at centre back who will happily take a lump out of a striker if they're getting the better of them. Our only saving hope is that I don't really rate Lee Peltier, their right back. Get Lawrence up against him and we could make something happen.

There's always hope. Exactly! Unbeaten in two and raring to go again. Thorne, Shackell, Anya and Guy are playing in the U23s today so not in contention. It seems as though Russell is not being considered right now. I get the idea of playing Johnson further forward but it seems madness to me to give him the number 10 berth when that's actually the position we have a gazillion great options, none of which is him. Play him on the left-hand side. My forward four would be: Lawrence Martin/Winnall Johnson Winnall/Martin with Martin and Winnall interchanging all the time making them much harder to mark. Either/both could be replaced with Vydra/Nugent and that would be equally good. Let's get that away win and kick start the campaign. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Thorne Anya and Shackell all playing U23s today, right? So surely they're not in the mix for Cardiff. Fozzy didn't do himself any favours with the hoofing clearances at Brent (but if Rowett wants fozzy as his long term LB he needs to keep playing him - Fozzy is vulnerable to being replaced by Baird or Olsson), and Rowett will stick with Winnall who has assisted and scored in both the last games. I think the johnson experiment failed which is where the one main change will come and he will either move him to left wing or reinstate Johnny there. Nugent or top scorer Vydra will battle for the 10 role. Think it's Vydras given GRs take on cardiffs less fluent playing style. So ... prediction is: Carson wisdom Keogh Davies Forsyth Huddlestone Ledley Lawrence Vydra Johnson winnall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
California Ram. Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Think that’s pretty close - I reckon Bird might be a traveller after being left out of the Under 23s - otherwise subs from Nugent, Martin, Pearce, Mitchell, Baird, Russell, Weimann ? (Bennett and Hanson injured, Lowe not ready) If Russell not on bench then he’s in danger of being overtaken by Luke Thomas in the pecking order.

DEL Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Shackell Anya Thorne played today game which is they're not in the squad for tomorrow game. So for tomorrow team imo Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Olsson Huddlestone Ledley Lawrence Vydra Russell Martin or Winnall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalsheep02 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Lets hope we can battle our way to at least a point tomorrow. I seem to remember playing Cardiff in the Davies promotion season at a similar time of year when they were flying and we (at that stage) were struggling. I am sure we drew 2-2 after being behind twice in the game, perhaps a Giles Barnes equaliser even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also had Loovens who is still around. I would love to know where Cardiff sat in the league that day as I am sure they were going really well.
