Oh, my word, where do we start with this one?

On the back of yesterday's disaster, will we see wholesale changes. The inference has been that OGS is rotating the squad, so Noone & Mutch have to be starters. Defence is the biggest problem, but maybe at home with a more attacking plan in mind, he might be inclined to let Fabio have another chance...........personally, I wouldn't.

I also think that Kimbo is being shown as too lightweight for the PL. He is muscled out of things too easily, so keep him for the Wigan game.

Marshall

KTC Caulker Cala John

Noone Mutch Medel Zaha

Bellamy

Jones

Bench: Lewis, SuperKev, Gunnarsson, Eikram, Daelhi, Campbell, Whitts

Can't get very positive about an outcome......let's say 1 - 1

Agreed. With Medel deep. A draw.

Did anybody feel there was a huge gap between midfield & defence yesterday? Swansea seemed to be flooding in the gaps. I'm guessing the defence dropped deep to counter the pace of the flanks but then the midfield didn't drop with them, or the defence didn't push up high enough. Either way, lots of space.

Aston villa are a counter attacking side, their main threat is the pace on the wings beating their man and lobbing a ball into the box. Playing Fabio would be a death sentence for our chances. McNaughton and john as the fullbacks, with priority one being keeping an eye on their winger and keeping them in check. Aston Villams defence are shaky, we have to trust our attacking players can open them up.

And then I'll stick Medel deep, because everyone else has so far  *** OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD: CARDIFF CITY VS ASTON VILLA *** 2534633747

Sorry it will probably lead to my ban, but I can't see nothing but a convincing Aston Villa win..Don't see Wigan being as straight forward as some might think

Cardiff have scored 4 in their last four games and I can't see them Scoring 4 against a not bad away Aston Villa side just my opinion

Marshall

KTC  Caulker  Cala  John

Noone  Mutch  Medel  Zaha

Bellamy

Jones

Bench:  Lewis, SuperKev, Gunnarsson, Eikram, Daelhi, Campbell, Whitts

Can't get very positive about an outcome......let's say 1 - 1

McNaughton for KTC, I just think he will be more reliable and I'm going to be positive and a very nervy 2-1 win.

Think I'd agree, I was tempted to let Bellamy play the attacking midfield role again but then I realised at 34 he might not have the legs to play twice in four days.

Although I'd love to see what happens when we play Campbell and Jones together..

Just on Radio Wales that Noone wasn't fit Saturday and is also doubtful for tomorrow.
