Irish - if you've got Sky at home get Skygo on your laptop etc and watch it on Skygo wherever you are. You can cast the laptop screen onto your daughter's TV with the right software and watch it full screen on there.
So, with R Colwill injured and Kellyman not allowed to play, Robinson at 10?
Ng at RB with Kpakio suspended.
Probably need to rest Fish given his previous head injury.
Going to need legs in the centre of the park.
Another game where the bench is going to be key, if only to keep the score down.

Robinson is not a No.10. He needs to goal hang because he can finish.
I think BBM could well play Joel Colwiil in that role for his sheer energy if not for his out and out skill factor.
Turnbull has the ability but he tends to be a bit anonymous, whereas Robertson also has the ability but a possible temperament problem.
Heres the answer.
Cardiff City XI: Trott; Ng, Lawlor, Chambers, Bagan; Wintle, J. Colwill, Turnbull; Ashford, Robinson, Davies.
Subs: Turner, Giles, Fish, Mafico, Robertson, Donczew, Nyakuhwa, Willock, Salech.
Hi guys - it’s been a while. Hope you’re all ok down there 
Nice rendition of ‘Men of Harlech’ by your fans. You lot always win the singing!
Good luck tonight!

Well that’s the end of this thread. Great effort by City. 
Tan should ensure the money made tonight goes on strengthening the squad to push onto promotion

Very good effort all round. 2 errors, 2 goals, but that's what Prem sides can do to you.
Certainly not disgraced in any part of the game and with a bit of luck it could have gone our way.
Full focus to the league now and hope there are no injuries from tonight but with Kpakio and Kellyman back in contention on Saturday.

Really proud of the team tonight. They gave Chelsea a game that's for sure and what a header from Turnbull! Onward now at the top of the league
I'd like to join BT in his pride of the Bluebirds. Fantastic that we stuck to our new footballing style and weren't in awe of the opposition. Good to read pundits from the nationals who haven't seen us this season, applauding our style.
Mr Murphy sir, you are rapidly becoming one of my favourite managers by sticking to your philosophy and taking others with you. Remarkable considering what resources you've been given.
Bloody Chelsea done us again. Nevermind, they'll never be Bloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobirds

Puts things in context.
Even with 11 changes from the Everton game, Maresca was able to name a strong line-up with the likes of £100m midfielder Moises Caicedo recalled, while the bench was worth close to £400m.

I think it's fair to say we went toe to toe with them - both their much changed (but still very expensive) 'reserve' team in the 1st half and even throughout the 2nd half when their 'big guns' came on... yes they looked far more dangerous 2nd half with their 1st team additions to the line up, but we still cut through them and created our own chances too.
As much as the knockers and WUMS will say it was only Chelsea's 'kids' in the 1st half, lets not forget, a lot of our team are our own 'kids' nowadays - make of that what you will.
Atmosphere was great throughout and a real throwback to what we can have at the CCS when everyone is behind the team rather than being quick to grumble when things don't quite go to plan - just a shame we'll see a minimum of 10k - 12k vanish by the next home game, but that's football nowadays eh?? Hopefully one or two of the fans that came out because it was a big game will now consider coming down a bit more often now they've seen how well we are playing..

Good point Briz... I replied on FB last night when someone was asking where the extra 15k would be in the next home game, but being less than polite with his query -
'No need to label the new visitors as plastics! Yes they went there (maybe for the first time) hoping for a glory night and hoping for an ‘I was there’ moment. BIG crowds for BIG games is a thing that happens in all sports so deal with it as a chance to introduce new supporters. Many would have had a fabulous time last night and many would have travelled quite a long way. Be more welcoming and we will welcome more supporters'

Its attending for 'big games' that gets people started.
Just need them to each come back a couple times before the end of the season.
My first City game was v Hamburg. Edited - I put Real Madrid first. Now remembered It was Hamburg. 
56 odd years later (apart from a few throwing Teddy from the pram seasons) I'm still here. Point proved Remote.
