Looks like Cardiff have a few injury worries and Giles with either man flu or covid

The only change I can see is sheaf for Allen.. depending on wether Robins rewards Allen for his performance Saturday

He could actually start Walker and rest waghorn for Saturday.

Can't see too much change

I wouldn't start Walker.

I do agree with you on Maatsen though. He's got better, but has been one of the weaker ones. I am not worried though, think he will continue to find his feet. Seems like Kane is chomping at the bit to play as well, which can only be a good thing. I actually think he might turn out to be a solid signing. Leaves DaCosta fully out of favour as well.

TEAM NEWS:



Still not recovered Isaac Vassell & Lee Tomlin and both still not even fit for U23 duty, never mind first team duty.


Joe Ralls, pulled his groin last Friday up at the Vale.

Ryan Giles, had been "coughing and spluttering" in the build-up to the Forest match and such is life in a Covid world, he was also left at home.


Leandro Bacuna limped off before Forest game began and hopefully the results will show him ok later today.

What an aspiration for a Chelsea player to be the new Danny Fox

I honestly think Danny Fox is the best left back I've seen up here since that fella Bobby Gould signed from Wealdstone.

Maatsen will make it.

Let's be honest, the game will revolve around how well we deal with their set pieces/long throws- first and second balls (v Moore, Morrison and Flint). Keep them at the other end of the pitch and that threat diminishes.

Without getting too involved in the debate, Maatsen is a far better player than Da Costa.

I dont think anyone would disagree with that. No contest there especially when you consider their ages.

whilst not disagreeing I think that the game will revolve around how well we impose our play on Cardiff. Let them worry about us.

They are strong in the air and the majority of their goals have been headers from crosses into the box.
If Giles is out and we can stop these crosses then I think we will beat them comfortably

Will McFadzean have any spare room in his pocket for Kieffer Moore? His pockets are full already.

Driving down from Cardiff with Mrs Dactyl and her dad…both Cardiff season ticket holders.
I’m making them sit in the away end while I go off with my mates.
Should be fun!
As away fans, will they be allowed in the casino for a pint after? If so, can anyone recommend a place where they won’t be?

Who should I call about changing the kickoff time to midnight? (5:00p.m. my time)
Just got selected for a 4 day jury. I tried to use the game as an excuse but it didn’t fly.

Sales patterns for night games are very different that for weekend fixtures. A lot of tickets shift on the day of the game and the walk up id much bigger than for Saturday games.

I think it'll be a very good crowd tomorrow, but expect big issues on the turnstiles and a lot missing kick off.

They will be a boring to watch long ball, physical team - not dissimilar to Middlesborough. However we were the more physical and aggressive side against Middlesborough and proved we know how to take advantage and play against aging old school managers.

I wouldn't change anything, but based on BD's comments and his size, perhaps Kane may start over Maatsen. Shame if so, as he is an offensive threat. Don't know much about Kane, although that cross on Saturday was appalling (not writing him off based on one cross).

Really looking forward to a game under the lights and the way we are playing is great to watch.

2-0, Gyokeres and COH (finally).

This often depends on who they have to attack down these sides. Teams tends to attack more down the sides where they have their own best players, not jusr on where they think the other side is weakest.

I’d agree, it was about the idea that sides are “targeting” Maatsen, which would imply they’re playing more down his side.

Think Kane will start,and play on the right flank with Dabo switched to the left as Kane more agression and a nasty side to boot which we will need against a McCarthy coached side.

Maatsen is 19 years old playing his first few games at this level. Of course he's not going to be Roberto Carlos straight off the bat.

Dabo scored two own goals and gave away some pens in his first games aged 22 in League One.

if he was he wouldn’t be in our team

Fucking hell lads, I wasn’t going to go tomorrow cos the kids can’t go and my Dads on holiday and I hate going alone. The missus just asked out the blue if she can come. No interest in football, never watched a game before, no prompting from me. What is going on this season? Something special indeed.

Another tough call to predict, early season and all that. We ought to win this one following on from Middlesbrough, but football has an uncanny way of surprising you. Cardiff may frustrate us more than the Boro' did and we may need Godden on 60 mins to break the deadlock.
My heart says we might run ragged and score 5 but head says a tough night and ultimately settle on a bore draw. Can Allen keep producing his form? But I do think if we are careful at the back and attack as we do, we should get ahead and stay ahead in this one. Would love to see us go 3rd in the table!

Kane will be ideal to bring on as will Rose when they start lumping it forward in desperation in last 20 mins.
