The thing that really pisses me off about the Cardiff game is that they played exactly as we knew they would. It was the third time Nuno had played Warnock and there were absolutely no surprises from Colin. It was like a boy going into an exam knowing all the questions and still failing the exam.

It may be in the reporting, it may be a manager keeping his cards close to his chest, but this is just wibble

It's not often I think Nuno talks rubbish but lots of that is crap. Cardiff was one of the worst performances and tactical wrongness Nuno's had in his time here.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Huddersfield was a crap performance by any number of players - Cardiff was just a massive misjudgement of the tactics

 

[t3ch]

Calls for Ruddy are vastly premature.

Bennett back from me and then I'd actually go MGW in CM as he is the most mobile cm we have. Would go Cav and Jota .

agreed

 

[Parkins left foot]

Would be inclined to play MGW just in front of the midfield 2 (whichever out of Moutinho/Saiss/Dendoncker you prefer) so that he can drop back when needed (which he will be at times v Chelsea)

2 from Jota/Cav/Jiminez to play ahead & he can join in when it's helpful

 

[PuntsWolf]

Doesn’t matter what system we play if the front 3 are going to play like pub standard players.

Hope the players are up for it tomorrow or it’s another long night.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We have been up for it against every single one of the big boys so far.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I’ve got a feeling we’re going to win. I don’t know why. Feels like it could be one of those nights of the MM era. Hopefully crowd are up for it too. We’ve been a bit expectant this year so hopefully the bad run and big team brings the atmosphere back.

 

[b3h]

I feel like 352 is about the only viable change we could make but it wouldn't actually work for us

 

[Pablowolf]

Be it the Royal London tomorrow night?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Maybe for a swifty for me, maybe not. Timescales are pretty tight tomorrow so I might have to go straight to the ground.

Will be in there at some time - intend to try & get to the hotel before everyone else manages to get out of work to avoid some of the traffic

Me and Gerry will be in town about half 2 Peter...

Someone on Facebook who appears to be well connected is adamant Dendonker is starting in defence tonight and Saiss is moving in to midfield to play alongside Moutinho.

Does anyone know what time the ticket office closes today? I might have an U21 ticket that I'd need to upgrade to an adult ticket, but it needs to be done at the ticket office.

Hope so: have to see what Donk can do at some point

As a one off I'd say just use it but hey ho.

I have also seen this but probably originates from same source. Wouldn't surprise me too much. I hope MGW starts in the right inside forward position

I'd rather be above board, if possible.
