Cardiff to try and do a WBA number on The Blades

[ChipButtyBlade]

I have a fear that Cardiff will implement the same tactics that WBA did in early season,that is out muscle us and bombard the penalty area with launched throwins (Vaulkes) onto the heads of Moore and Flint etc,if not throwins then freekicks.

Would anyone care to allay my fear.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Good point, we're not the best in the air as Martin proved on Sunday so hoping we can score more than them.

Who cares, we don't have Salad Fingers in goal and gone to a back 5.

Dont think Cardiff pose much of a threat at all tbh and we'll win this one quite comfortably.

3 more points

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

I would be happy with the same outcome.

 

[bongleblade]

Would like to see Guedioura and Lopata on the bench (at minimum) for this reason. Score 2, and then get em on to secure the win

I saw them play at Coventry earlier in the season. Other than long throws and set pieces they offered nothing. Mick McCarthy was in charge and while they were a big side they didn't have much of a work rate or interest. Not sure the new manager is getting much of a tune from them. So unless their motivation suddenly peaks we should pick up the 3 points without having to be at our best.

 

[BerksBlade]

Hopefully we can cut out the daft free kicks and not give them the opportunity

One out injured and the other one out on loan. Plan B ?

I don’t understand how anyone can be confident with Foderingham in goal.

Sorry,no. Got to agree with you. Goalkeeping department a concern, Wes not the biggest, Olsen not great at coming for high balls. Defenders very light weight and midfield will get steam rolled and will rely on giving cheap easy free kicks away like most games .
Just hope the new management team have a plan for this type of game.

 

[BlairBlade]

I thought this was going to be about swapping a couple of players?
We give them a thoroughbred and we get a cart horse in return, albeit one that is called Billy Whizz.

No!

Is that the same goalkeeper who kept 3 clean sheets in a row, the first time we done that for about 3 years? Just checking.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

They can only bombard us if we allow them to, if we dictate possession and try to play a bit, there's no scope for them to do a WBA on us.

Best we play our new "total football" and go in at h/t 4-0 up then

Good idea, I’ll go for that.

Put some respect on Wes ‘Clean Sheets’ Foderingham’s name.

Have a like for the mention of Salad Fingers.

Lopata will have to give Guedioura a piggy-back cos he's ancient and his legs have well-gone.
He was only signed coz an old mate of Slav's

 

[ancientblade]

were a better footballing side its just a matter of putting all these chances we create away then it wont matter how physical cardiff will be might not be sunday but i can feel another peterbro game on the horizon where everything goes in

Show the squad the video of the match at the Hawthorns

 

[5tannington Blade]

I heard on a podcast today they've scored 70% of their goals this season from headers. The next highest in the championship is 40%!

 

[diode_blade]

get him signed and in our back line, he would negate Cardiff's aerial threat.....

 

[Mojo]

Were not going back to a back 4 with Robbo and Verrips are we? I wouldn't worry

Or the last 15 minutes of the Reading game. For 75 minutes very comfortable, on comes Andy Carroll and Reading looked a different team and United looked uncomfortable.

I hope to goodness that Hecky is all over this particular weakness we have - Davies is NOT the answer + needs sending back in January + replacing with a physically dominant CB in the mould of JoC
