#CardiffCity SUBS v PARMA: Heaton, Naylor, Keinan, Gyepes, Taiwo, Miller, Fagan, Parkin

I expect to see a 4-4-2 when the season starts, with Earnie lined up alongside Miller (as has been suggested by both players).

Is Malky experimenting today? Or just using the last opportunity to give our young strikers some 'free' game time before the real work starts?

i would of thought he would put on the first team against parma in the first half ................

cant wait to see earnie again and this conway guy miller also im so exited

Can't see Mason and Gestede in the first team. I'm thinking maybe Miller isn't 100%/Malky doesn't want the team to be too weak up front in the second half.

very true

He also doesn't want to hand West Ham our game plan for a week Sunday on a plate!

Wheres Gunnarsson and Kiss? Nice to see Conway get his first start

first two have muscles tightness

i honestly think Malky rates Rudy very highly and he will feature a lot this season

Rudy & Miller will be our first choice strikers when we play West Ham.

should be interesting as we did look good in the 433 formation but maybe malky will be a bit more defensive playing away to West Ham. As for Rudy he still looked very raw and im not sure hes ready for our starting 11 yet, although he's better than Parkin!

im sure we will play 4 5 1 at west ham, marshall ,mcnoughton, hudson ,gerrard, taylor ,cowie ,kiss, gunnarson ,conway ,with whits in a free role, and miller or mason up front ,could even start ernie on his own or gestade ,any one of those 4 could do the job, and theres a good case for any of them, the one good thing about this squad is there is not a stand out starting 11 like we had in the past ,,its looking like we have good alternatives for every position , happy days.
