Match Day Thread Nottingham Forest v Cardiff City

Just seen the team Vaulks Harris Collins & Bacuna start. Moore on bench. Ralls must be injured?

 

Where's Giles? Not even on the bench.

 

So no Giles , Moore , Ralls.

Not only Bacuna but Vaulks.

Take a draw looking at that side. No creativity anywhere.

 

Bacuna and Vaulks to play out of their skin and win us the game.

 

A few changes in there.
Doesnt look the strongest of teams we could pick if everyone was fit.

 

Is this Mick just being Mick and ploughing his own furrow with the team selection or has it been forced on him?

I'd have thought both Ralls and Giles would have been auto choices if they were fit. Ng in for Sang sounds a bit odd though.

Pack, Vaulks and Bacuna in the middle will have a lot to do to feed Collins and especially the quick Harris.

Moore off the bench to win this for us.

 

Bowen for Bacuna

 

Late change for Cardiff
Nottingham Forest v Cardiff City (14:30 BST)

Cardiff City have suffered another selection blow with Leandro Bacuna picking up an injury during the warm-up.

He is out of the side and Sam Bowen, son of former Cardiff player Jason, comes in to make his league debut in Mick McCarthy's midfield.

Ciaron Brown takes Bowen's spot on the bench.

Joe Ralls is missing due to a groin issue, while Ryan Giles' absence is because of Covid-19 protocols.

 

Just got in and switched on Sky. 1 down. Bugger.

Deflection off Nelson.

 

Covid restrictions.

 

Commentators very pro Forest. Barstewards.

 

Notwithstanding this is as poor a City team in modern times they concede a deflected goal and had no luck 2-3 times up the other end.
Vaulks looks odds on to get a second yellow.
I’d bring on Moore at half time in place of that cart horse Collins.

 

2 really poor sides.

Moore and Colwill need to come on at half time.

 

Who decides what formation we're playing?
BBC has us down as 4132.

 

10 minutes into second half your subs are on Hilts.

I was about to say time for Colwill to start making a difference.

And he did. 1.1.

 

Colwill.

Great for the young lad.

 

Not headed either. That's our record gone.

 

Forest fans suggesting the ref takes up banking.

I think.

Moore hits post.

 

And Colwill again. Great finish. Super assist from Moore as well.

 

Just like busses.
