Cardiff vs Saints

[---------a]

Only one week away, who do you think will line up for cardiff then?

Still haven't got my tickets yet, will probably buy on Monday.

[jh1980]

Enckleman

McNaughton
Loovens
Johnson
Comminges

Whittingham/Parry
McPhail
Rae
Ledley

McCormack
Bothroyd (if transfer completed)

That's my guess anyhow, who have you got left Rich?

[---------a]

Got my tickets this morning, was plenty left.

CBA with terracing cos I expect we'll be taking our trouble makers again and there was a massive bundle last season, so I've got seating

That Cardiff line-up looks pretty decent... I expect we'll lose at Ninian Park... again.

JP said whoever starts the West Ham game is likely to play at Cardiff... so...


Bartosz Bialkowski

Lloyd James - RB
Michael Svennson - CB
Chris Perry - CB
Andrew Surman - LB

Simon Gillett - DM
Morgan Sniederlin - DM

Adam Lallana - CM

Nathan Dyer - RW
Lee Holmes - LW

David McGoldrick - FW

Euell, Skacel, Rasiak, Saganowski - Didn't feature against West Ham, so I expect they'll be sold soon enough. Stern John is suspended, but I don't think he'd have started anyway as another one on the market.

I've only heard of a few of those mate... but I suppose that could be your secret weapon!

Cheers, I think the squad is coming together quite nicely tbh. If Bothroyd hasn't got here, it'll be Parry alongside McCormack.

Southampton trouble-makers?! That's a new one on me! ;D

[---------a]

Indeed, just wait 'till you see our fluid football (I don't mean Diarrhoea either, before someone says it ;D ;D ;D ).

That McCormack fella came on a free didn't he? that seems like a good move, although he has only played in the scottish league ;D

Well last season there was a fair bit of trouble, there was a large bundle involving fans and stewards, so I don't fancy getting squished - especially as i'll be jotting notes down on my phone for my match report.

[---------a]

Davis

James Perry Svensson Surman

Schneiderlin Gillett

Thomson Lallana Holmes

McGoldrick

Subs;
Bialkowski
Wright-Phillips
Dyer
Thomas
Wotton

we've announced an 18 man squad and I've picked my expected 16 players.

No Euell, Rasiak or Skacel - As expected - up for sale.

Stern John suspended (hopefully not up for sale)

[---------a]

We always concede to gash strikers. (last season: Karl Hawley, Paul Parry, Akpo Sodje etc)

We always let players score their first goals for their club against us (Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Ruud Guillit, Diego Forlan, Louis Saha, all scored their first goals for their teams against us, plus many more)

We've only won once on the first day of the season in 14 years I think it is.

Us to lose 1-0 with Jay Bothroyd scoring on his debut then

[---------a]

So we lost 2-1 and a gash striker scored (Steven Thompson)... what a suprise

We were pretty gash, especially in the final 3rd where we look out of ideas.

Lost it in the 90th minute, so i'm pretty fecked off.

Good play for our goal, Surman mugged their right back and squared for McGoldrick
