Comments

Lots of injuries but if Gallagher and Cullen play well and we can get a 20 minute cameo from Taylor we might get a win1
-
Everything points to an home defeat. So I’m going for 2-1 win (Sarr 2)4
-
If we are playing 352, I would give Deji a go.
Phillips
Lockyer, Pearce , Oshilaja,
Matthews, Kayal, Cullen, Gallagher, Purrington
Bonne, Taylor/Leko

A crucial game, but Tuesday against Luton will also be crucial, so Bowyer will have a choice in which match to play Matthews, and which match Solly
As Matthews came up through the Cardiff academy, I'd play him against them with Solly to play against Luton and repeat his goal from last season!4 -
Lockyer played 2 matches, Gallagher 1 match, while Cullen and Kayal were away so no break for 4 players, 3 of them key players. If Kayal got back late, I wonder if Oztumer will get the nod to start with Kayal on the bench?jonseventyfive said:Think the break would have refreshed us somewhat, 2-0 to reach the very respectable 25 point mark.1 -
Third match in a row v direct teams = third successive defeat as we continue our descent down the table.1
-
Another team who hoof it which we seem to have a problem with

1-0 to Charlton.
As much as I've given Naby, what I would call valid criticism, I'd love him to get the goal.3 -
If he doesn’t I think we can safely say that Bower doesn’t fancy Oztumer.killerandflash said:

It's not surprising that Oztumer hasn't seen much game time when we've had fixtures against big physical direct sides.
Playing against teams who like to pass the ball, Forest and West Brom, he showed up very well.
Bowyer will pick him where it suits our game plan.

Lost two on the bounce.
Loads of injuries.
Sky fixture.
They have a new manager
Who is Millwall's all time top goalscorer.
And the reason for optimism is?1 -

I think Oztumer has to be given a bit of a chance. He is so talented but doesn't always make the right choices. But we need the ability and vision he will add. I think we may be a bit to easy to stop without Williams and Taylor, which is understandable.3

Great Preview as ever FA , I reckon it's back to basics from Bowyer for this one, 4-4-2 diamond and we sneak a 1-0 win in a terrible game. Bonne with our late goal.

Really hoping Albie comes on and shows his talent - I may be in the minority but I think this kid has so much potential, so naturally gifted on the ball. Play him in that free role behind the strikers and he will cause a lot of problems for teams.4

Not sure you are!

That's us fucked then, I suspect Harris's team talk will be based on "we never turn up and we are bottlers"MuttleyCAFC said:This is a game to be brave in.0 -
Every single shred of luck seems to be against us going into this one so I'm not massively confident. We really need a win here though0

I don't like using this argument often, especially considering the makeup of our squad, but I think he's genuinely a bit too lightweight at the moment, and doesn't quite read the game quick enough for the Championship.killerandflash said:

They wanted him to go on loan to a league club but there were no offers forthcoming, so Ebbsfleet it was. Gallen is high on him as a prospect so I wouldn't say treatment has been overly harsh - just that a little more experience in adult football at a slightly lower level would do him a world of good.4 -
When you look at how much the likes of Oztumer, Aneke, Kayal and Hemed have contributed so far, would Morgan have been any worse?PaddyP17 said:

That's a results-oriented way of looking at it though. We brought those players in thinking they were more Championship-ready, and certainly three of them should have been.killerandflash said:

Evidently Aneke isn't up to scratch (imo); Kayal/Hemed don't appear to really have been fit enough; and Oztumer... Well, I dunno, there's a player there but it's not really manifested yet.
Morgan may well have been able to contribute, but it's a complete unknown, and I agree with Bowyer/Gallen's thinking that sending him out on loan (a la Karlan Grant to Crawley perhaps?) would better prepare him in the long term.0 -
I dont thimk Bowyer can afford to be anything but harsh in a way - We've been over ran in most games and have won when we dont have possession, it means for the most part we need everyone who can help defend and if you cant you dont play as long term it could hinder our survivalkillerandflash said:

In the more recent games Id definitely say that Millwall / Preston etc. would have past by him more as he's got that similar build to Oztumer
I think in the long run Morgan will probably appreciate the treatment he's received from Bowyer, dont think its personal, more so an very experienced ex-Midfielder who doesnt want to see the youngster get ruined in the same way we saw with Pigott0 -
No Taylor tomorrow!!!!0
