It's got to be a version of "play last weeks failures and make them learn from it" ... coz I'd like to see Vela, Hall, Moritz & White get out there.

mmm ... I hope Mavis is getting a rest, as he's one with a value who I'd fear losing in this window.
It's the message it sends out that worries me. You can play well in reserves you won't get picked. You can lose 7-1 you will keep your place. Di Canio is looking for a job a least it won't be boring and he would kick arse. Alas we have no money so we have papered ourselves into a corner

Need a tonic today. Got colds (wife much worse than me) and missing daughter's party tonight. A win today might not help family much but it'll sure be good for me. :wink:

Wasn't it Swansea that came in for him before?

Streams are all to cock on my pc so I'll stay with Tower/Tango. They're off and away. Lonergan gets an early touch and it's to and fro before Medo loses it. They have a sniff at us and Lonergan sets us off again. Now Chungy shows interest but it didn't quite work. Be glad of any input from anyone watching.

Early free to them for a foul on Cornelius and......high line defending and Knight heads clear. Cardiff are showing some interest in being in our half and Medo hands them a starter that ends with Lonergan tipping it over the bar. Lively. Corner and.....Davies heads clear. Eagles starts one and ...Davies is putting himself about, we're told....Danns, Eagles and....back to their keeper. Good words for both.

Davies has an effort put behind for a corner and.....Danns and.....Ohhhh Eagles fires one in that's deflected again for another corner. Comes to naught but a decent start. Eagles hits the keeper with a cross and we go again. Whites are showing lively so far.

And again we go forth before Chungy slides in and gives a free kick away. Bit of a chat session between the commentators before we recover the ball and...win a throw. "Positive start" says the man with the mike. Now thay have a sally at us and....cleared. Back it comes and...they get a corner via a decent defence from Ream..and.....Lonergan eventually grabs it and throws it out....yes, "throws" it out. McNaughton figuring before they get a shot in that's cleared to Chungy...Eagles and not quite on the money.

we have a lot of possession - passing it around nicely - some advanced positions - yet fail to look even remotely threatening...

Now a bit of Cardiff action but we recover it again. Off we go and....it's out for a throw to the visitors. Now Chungy fires one from twenty-five out that's wide. Here we go again and....Eagles does well before losing it. All sounding pretty decent so far and Mills gets a header in before they recover it. Again we go and......Chungy....and a good clearance ends our decent attack. Medo, Eagles, cleared.....and Lonergan has it. Danns finds Spearing, now Eagles and.....too many defenders. McN clears but we really sound to be putting some effort in and we have a free kick. Possession for a bit before Knight gives it the big boot. Here they come a visiting but we do well and attack ourselves. Again, Chungy...then cleared.

after 20mins - solsjkjaekkjaer has made a tactical change to 4-3-3

more interestingly - we seem to be playing with a pink ball...

we're wanging it in at Cravies's head - and he hasn't yet got anywhere near one as far as I can see...

Looking well so far but playing the long ball sometimes and it isn't really working.

The Leeks come at us and have a bit of passing that goes backward a bit before they get a cross in than Mills handles well. Medo, Chungy......Baptiste.....good cross.....Chungy.....Medo again....Ream....cleared for a throw. Eagles offside. Mills knocks it out for a corner them and......Whittingham and......Lonergan a bit jittery but the wind decieved him. Mills knocks it behind again. And......in and out before McNaughton does well for them and clears from ..Chungy? Throw them and....again and.....they're keeping the ball to no real effect apparently. Now they come again and Chungy clears from our box edge before Cornelius is offside. Chungy getting the good words and also Davies. Midfield action before Eagles does well. Davies again and it's a corner....no, it isn't it's a goal kick.
