baldy09 156 Posted July 30, 2022 My score prediction is 1-1 - I believe this will be a tough start for city and there is still alot of hard work to be done before  this city side will play has a cohesive unit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,676 Posted July 30, 2022 7 (yes SEVEN) new faces/first competitive match in the team debuts for Cardiff today.. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RugbyCanary 94 Posted July 30, 2022 Is it 433 or 4231.......bench looks raw. But optimistic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted July 30, 2022 No surprises in that line up, picks itself really. Sara or Dowell not ready for the bench it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 2,604 Posted July 30, 2022 Yup, had predicted this line up pretty much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only real question mark for me was Sargent or Sinani. I would have gone for Sinani, but I'm biased. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,436 Posted July 30, 2022 Time for Cantwell, Rashica and Sargent to step up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,229 Posted July 30, 2022 That’s close to our strongest line up, expect McClean and Sorensen to give way once Hayden and Sara are match fit. Only slight concern to me is that 11 pretty much picks itself, be good to get injuries back and a couple of extra signings hopefully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted July 30, 2022 Will be interesting to see what the team and bench looks like when Gibbo, Hayden, Sara, Nunez, Dowell, Idah are all available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelm Canary 404 Posted July 30, 2022 I'm fairly confident of a win here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert N. LiM 4,243 Posted July 30, 2022 Are we allowed nine on the bench this season? In other words, we can't fill it at the moment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted July 30, 2022 We have a very strong squad compared to any other Championship squad. It really is down to Smith to get the right blend and tactics. There simply are no excuses for failure this season. Let the games begin.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarybubbles 1,915 Posted July 30, 2022 At least McLean and Sorensen should complement each other rather than try to do the same thing, as PLM and McLean did last season. And, thin as it looks, it's a joy that Gilmour and Normann have gone forever from that midfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,932 Posted July 30, 2022 Sawyers and Ojo will be a threat, new team or not. Not an easy opener, and Cardiff look like they've beefed up well. Better look to get on the front foot early on. McLean will have to watch that tendency to press on his own. Cantwell at number 10 in a free role is going to be fun. He's got to remember his work out of possession. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted July 30, 2022 Strong team but lacks flair if its a tight Game hopefully Cantwell can roll back a season or two and produce something for Pukki Grinding out results is not a bad think early on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
