Zohore out - not even on the bench!

Cardiff City team
Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Bamba, Bryson, Ralls, Mendez-Laing, Hoilett, Ward.
 
Zahore has a knock apparently.

Playing 5 at the back?

Seems to be set up for a 0-0 or 1-0 on the break.

Be interesting to see how Ward fares.
 
According to the ifollow commentators, Bamba has dropped back between Morrison and Manga to make it a back 5 - 3 inthe middle and two wing backs. Is that going to work with Peltier out there wide?
 
What a result! Especially affter the result against Brum, great character from the players to go to Boro and win. Can't remember the last time we won up there - can remember Burkie scoring a free kick that looked more like a cross but that was a long time ago!

Boro didn’t put up a link so apparently nobody could see it.

Great win and TBH totally unexpected- excellent response to the Bham disaster
 
That's the first time I've gone for City not to win in the prediction league all season. <doh>

Great result and from what I heard in the commentary, a typical Warnock performance from both him and the lads.

Going with 3 centrebacks took them by surprise and we could easily have been a couple in the first 20 minutes. As it was they stuck to the task second half and got the result.

Although Boro are not playing that well at the moment, 3 points at the Riverside is a bloody good return for anyone.

if carlsberg did benches (what a bench)
 
Only because Gunnar was unfit. No other cover options in defensive midfield.

Gunnar, Richards, Healey and Zohore on sick list. Not a great choice between Halford and Connolly for 7th sub position. Mark Harris only other possibility.
