Where is Giles ??????????

Re: A NEW ATTACKING LINE UP: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TODAY "

No Giles or Ralls.
Surprising Tomlin and Vassell are missing.

Giles injured?

Would love to know what MM sees in Bacuna that literally no one else does. With Giles out today, there is a woeful lack of creativity, so was a great opportunity to give one of the kids ago rather than again playing him out of position.

Collins needs to start taking his opportunity when Moore can't start, as Moore's fitness issues will be resolved as season goes on.

Pleased that Harris starting, thought Colwill may have played instead of Bacuna.

Need to be winning games like this.

This must be the least creative side we have put on the pitch for many years and that is for a side that not very creative Common city prove us wrong

Playing with 2 strikers but no winger to put the crosses in
Flint hoofing it up the middle.

We need a strong performance from Valks today.Good to see Kieron Evans on bench.

Monty when a team plays with two wingbacks you don’t play with wingers as well mate.

Sort of agree but let's see if it does the job against a recently poor Forest... :thumbup:

We could do but it would mean having no central midfielders :lol:

Disappointing line up but its how we start and the tempo we set regardless who is playing. If we score first, their crowd will be on their backs.

So why do we play giles then bagan and ng have played all together
and wing backs and a winger?

Re: A NEW ATTACKING LINE UP: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TODAY "

Sun Sep 12, 2021 1:18 pm

It will depend on how MM uses the substitution no point on 80mins needs to be no later than 65 mins unless 2 or 3 up..... :mrgreen:

Giles plays off the striker. Sort of free role.

It’s like a 532 we play. With Giles or Bacuna off the front man.
