Cardiff City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[chucky1973]

cook, brezovan, hoskins, Narvarro and Noone. Buckley and KLL recently injured, A EL AB and Elphick long term injuries? JFC not involved. Am I missing anyone else? Berkamp? has he got a squad number?

Looks fairly conservative and maybe happy with a draw but the Taff's got 3 up front by the looks of it - so a bit of an onslaught if I got that right. But still think CMS and Barnes are as good as anyone at a quick counter

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

No width in the line up... how narrow is the pitch? Interesting...

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Cook on the bench is an interesting choice. I wonder if Gus is worried about a central defender getting a red card. Or whether he's planning to pack the defence if we're level or ahead with 10 minutes to go ...

He is the only fit defender we have got.

If Vincelot plays in the Nolan (West Ham) position it would be interesting. Nolan spent the whole match running into a brick wall.

He has been on bench in all three games, only centre half cover we have atm

Well you should have a defender on the bench for back up i.e injury/red card.

Same width as Falmer, 5 yards shorter.

Upton Park is very narrow and the match was very crowded.

Vincelot is a utility player so he can play at the back as well.

Can't see that midfield creating much and can't see them holding the ball or defending well either. As I am almost always wrong with my team selection thoughts I take this as a very good sign!

f*** a duck this is going to be even more tough without LuaLua, Buckley and now Noone starting on the bench. LuaLua's injury seems more prolonged than it first appeared? CMS, you better run your socks off lad!

Looks a nice ground, but it's no Amex.

My most memorable moment was the dodgy penalty we got against Cardiff in the last match against Cardiff at the Goldstone.
