Bearsy Posted 8 April, 2014 Share Posted 8 April, 2014 Plenty on here seem to think this will be easy. Really? A must win for Cardiff. Think it could be a tight game and we will need to take our chances. I'll go for 2-1. Lambert (pen). Lallana. word. really tough game in prospect, can see this being a titanic struggle cos cardiff are in do-or-die situation, really concerned bout this one 6-0 Lambart (pen), Lambart (pen), Lambart (pen), Lambart (pen), Lambart (pen), hooiveld (og) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 8 April, 2014 Share Posted 8 April, 2014 Its Lambert and Davis. Anyway, surely Llana is better? That Gonzalez chap is a bit handy as well. I'd start with him. Or if he's not fit, stick with James Warp-Drowse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rees Posted 9 April, 2014 Share Posted 9 April, 2014 If Gaston fit: ---------Boruc---------- NC/CC--JF----DL----LS --JC/VW(?)--MS-------- SD--------GR--------AL ----------RL---------- If not: ---------Boruc---------- NC/CC--JF----DL----LS --JC/VW(?)--MS-------- SD--------RL--------AL ----------SG---------- Don't mind who plays out of Clyne or Chambers. Could give Wanyama a go in midifield, maybe just bring him on for half an hour - don't rush him back. Gaston would be a like for like with Rodriguez, but he is a lot better in the middle whereas Lallana is still brilliant in any of the 3 behind main striker. If he's not then why not play Rickie in behind Gallagher? Think he was brilliant when he kept dropping deep at City and he did it when Gallagher came on anyway. Another option is JWP as one of the 3 CAM's, not sure we'd be very effective in attack though. Whatever team plays, should still be a comfortable win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestersaint Posted 9 April, 2014 Share Posted 9 April, 2014 We should win this - but we will miss JRod's pace. Maybe Sam Gallagher can have a good run out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenagegsaint Posted 9 April, 2014 Share Posted 9 April, 2014 Boruc Chambers, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw Wanyama, Schneiderlin Davis, Ramirez, Lallana Lambert Still a very strong side and should batter Cardiff even if Gazza's in goal we shouldn't allow them a shot at goal!

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 9 April, 2014 Share Posted 9 April, 2014 Cardiff to win 1-0 @ 16/1. Nice odds! Need to bring Clyne back in to add much needed pace to our attacks. Push the fullbacks on and get crosses in for Lambert and Gallagher. Play Lallana in the hole. Midfield three of Morgan/Cork/Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing we can do really is make sure they do not have a shot on goal, because each time they do, they will score if Gazza is goal. Can we consider our 4th choice goalie, Cody whatisname ?

Colinjb Posted 9 April, 2014 Share Posted 9 April, 2014 ahaha bet you're one of those people that think Cork is better than Wanyama ahahha Wanyama is certainly stronger and better in the air but Cork offers better technical ability with the ball, Wanayama is caught in a catch 22 position currently, he is being kept out of the side by an in form player but needs game-time to rediscover his touch. I would start with Cork over Wanyama at the moment if a direct choice needed to be made, putting both into the team would be an option though. As for a prediction..... Cardiff will be fighting for their lives and I hope our team spirit hasn't been broken too badly by Jay's injury. Saints 2-1 Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 9 April, 2014 Share Posted 9 April, 2014 ahaha bet you're one of those people that think Cork is better than Wanyama ahahha Hardly a startling suggestion - I prefer Cork, but can see why others would opt for Wanyama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainchris Posted 10 April, 2014 Share Posted 10 April, 2014 Kicks off at 1507 according to the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/fixtures I wonder if Pochettino will mix things up. Clearly Rodriguez will be out and hopefully Boruc back. For some reason I can see Wanyama coming in for Cork. Would like to see Ramirez given a start too. To be honest we really should be beating an average Cardiff team who will be massively low on confidence after being humped at home by Palace. Not with Rimierez starting we wouldn't be......

igsey Posted 10 April, 2014 Share Posted 10 April, 2014 Why, Morgan is a class act. No doubt, certainly the best of the three. I think we should try the other two together though against arguably the weakest team in the league - if Morgan were to pick up an injury somewhere I'd rather Cork and Wanyama not be playing together for the first time against Arsenal or someone. This is the game we can most freely experiment and still be fairly confident of a result, and if we were to lose (basically depends on whether Marshall and Mutch are on form), it's no big deal.

He certainly doesn't OWN the fans nor do they owe him - he certainly has not run the club for their benefit, it's been a vanity project from day one. There's an assumption the Cardiff fan 'loved it' but, unless you know him personally, not sure you could really know that. He could have been sat at home wishing Cardiff were run by a bunch of fans and scraping to build something over a long period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
