Agree - that is exactly what the team will be. However, surely Sinani should at least make the bench after the hype from Smith and some of his performances pre season? I would see him ahead of Dowell at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Wal 314 Posted July 25, 2022 The players in CAPITALS I am quite happy with, the others have alternatives who may play. KRUL AARONS OMOBAMIDELE HANLEY Gianoullis Sinani Gibbs McLEAN CANTWELL PUKKI Idah This is a more compact 442 which I feel we will need until Hayden and Sara are up to speed. Sorensen, Sargent and Rashica do little to make the team a compact, efficient unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted July 25, 2022 To be honest, midfield will be a problem. Where is the balance? Its unbelievable we are going into our opening game makeshift at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sinani on the bench is definitely possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted July 25, 2022 Smith will not want to lose the opening game. Suggest need 4 0r 5 in midfield. Pukki up front, Cantwell just behind with Rashica, Sorensen, McLean and Gibbs/Sinani in the engine room. Need extra man to compensate for the poor output from the midfield. NeedTodd and Milot to have legs to get up and down to help out others in midfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greggp27 1 Posted July 26, 2022 I'm assuming there is no stream broadcasting anywhere for this game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulfotto 632 Posted July 26, 2022 Think the only decisions apart from who is on the bench will be Sargent or Sinani given its away from home Josh will probably get the nod. Maybe McCallum or Giannoulis or even Gibbs or Sorensen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KennyMonster 0 Posted July 27, 2022 Lots of people here putting Cantwell in a Central Midfield role instead of an attacking one. Is that how he's been playing Pre-Season? What kind of Midfielders are Sinani and Gibbs (defensive, creative,?????) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horsefly 4,298 Posted July 27, 2022 I see that an old City academy player Ebou Adams is now plying his trade at Cardiff. Let's hope he doesn't prove a point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sinani is more of a winger/no 10, but like Cantwell has also been playing as a central midfielder in a 4-3-3 in pre season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
