Cardiff (away) Cup Match Thread.

[Tommy G]

Player for player I think Pantsil, Mills, SSL, Danns, Johnson and possibly dyer would get into their first XI never mind their second string. Our boys should be confident

[Al-aLondon-Foxile]

Cant believe he,s picked Weale! and looks like even Kennedy is above berner now WTF! That has actually only just reminded me that Kennedy is actually still here as i forgot all about him!

Weale was decent, he lost form & then confidence. It's important for him to regain these as he sits on the bench & is called upon in times of injury or suspension. So, it's important for him to be involved in first team/competitive matches.

Four of there's played sat Marshall in goal Taylor at full back kiss and cowie in midfield , our team as expected really ....

10 changes let's see how good the squad is ?? As I expect another 10 changes for Sunday!

[VinceNoir]

Game sounds pretty boring so far.

[Bilbo]

Stephen McPhail!!!

[Master Fox]

Blinding game .....

[MikeyT]

The excitement of this game is overwhelming at the moment.

[Libertine]

Hargreaves scores for Citeh.

[Raw Dykes]

The one that is off has us at home. The actual fixture is there as well and is on. I suspect they entered it wrong, and then made it clear that the incorrect fixture was off, rather than simply deleting it, to cover their arse in case anyone saw it and went to the KP on Wednesday night, missing the game and demanding compensation from the BBC.

Getting knocked out of the League Cup wouldn't be the end of the world, so I think we should rest our best players for the same fixture in the league at the weekend, and give a run out to the fringe players to give them match practice and fitness. I'd take a strong bench to try and save us in case it's going horribly wrong.

Bench: Schmeichel, Konchesky, Fernandes, Wellens, King, Vassell, Beckford

Not sure about Howard. Is he transfer-listed? If so, I'd start with Beckford instead to get him settled in quicker, and put Abe on the bench. If Ball isn't fit, I'd start Konchesky and put Bamba on the bench.

I still think we need one more backup forward. Any more bad luck with injuries, and we'll be very short of numbers up front.

I got the starting XI SPOT ON! Maybe I can get work as a psychic?

[Rincewind]

It can't be the actual team, you never hear it until an hour before and Howard will never play.

Not too far off what I would pick though.

Played. Now what's the score gonna be....?

[Jfox]

This has got penalties written all over it...

[Clazie]

How long before '...gets John Pantsil out of trouble' becomes Stringer's catchphrase?

[Libertine]

G'won Johnno.

[MikeyT]

0-1 and so it begins.

[MC Prussian]

Cowie puts Cardiff in front.

This one came out of nowhere, really.

[Master Fox]

[Clazie]

Oh dear, my bet on Earnshaw as first goalscorer is out of the window...

[Salieri]

Shame, sounded like we were playing okay. <_<

Cue the Weale haters......

[VinceNoir]

Whoa. Something happened! We'll take this to extra time I reckon.

[Matt]

Oh fucking hell Weale, you willy puller!

[THEBIGJOHNSTEADER;]

And a goal

[Rincewind]

Young said 'If we score then I can see uis winning this two or thre nil' Cue the inevitable.

Cardiff 1- City 0

[Clazie]

I would've saved that without hands, c'mon Weale you twaaaaaaaaaaaat.
