Much as I don't want to see Dunk get suspended, a hugely-motivated Connor Goodson playing alongside Duffy wouldn't exactly fill me with dread. We have the size and quality of squad that we have in order to cover precisely these situations.

I agree with that. Dunk and Duffy are probably the best two centre backs in the league, certainly the best partnership, Connor Goldson is probably in the top 10 of Championship CB's. Bringing in Goldson won't be a problem, whenever he gets the call.

Might be better if he were to come in after a decent warm-up against Franchise FC however.

You'd deliberately weaken our back four for a must-win home game, to prepare for a future game? Absolute nonsense.

That is the whole point of having an expensively assembled squad. Goldson was outstanding last season.

If it's anything like the away game a couple of weeks ago we could bring back Greer and 'Your Mum' to play at CB tonight as Cardiff won't do anything much attacking anyway and play for another 0-0. Possibly worth putting Goldson in on that basis but I doubt CH will change things.

Same starting 11 as QPR. Get the 3 points in the bag. The future can look after itself.

This. Minimal rotation at most (as Chris has done this season so far, with success)... when Rafa rotated too many, the mighty Newcastle lost... but Chris knows this already...

I don't think you'll see any 'gerrymandering' of Dunk's yellow card situation.

Would you like to revise your opinion on that?

Spot on team I think. Maybe throw in the TOWELL on the bench as a different option.

Hopefully Baldock will be back as Murphy was completely invisible last night.

Definitely Pocognoli over Bong. Thought he was unlucky to lose his place last time (don't think he was injured).

We'll never know the answer for sure, but the fog thing may have worked more against us now. No real injuries then were there! Now several extra injuries. On the flip side, we had more of a rest for the Fulham game and won that late on...
