Match Day Thread Cardiff v Saints Carabou Cup Wednesday 28th August ko19.45

Ugochukwu just glides across the pitch.

 

HT. That was everything I wanted to see tonight.

I would say Dibling was less imperious after the first 20.

 

I like the way opposition players seem to dissolve when in contact with him.

1-2 HT.

Good half, not too many changes please Russ.

 

Looked good there. Can see why Russ signed Nathan Wood twice, he's a perfect Martin CB

 

Enjoyed that. Big Les and Fernandes look proper players.

 

He'll get a wide on.

 

To be fair KWP aside, Dibling and Fernandes were probably our best two players against Forest.

… Which given they were on for only about 15 mins is good for them and terrible for everyone else.

 

Fernandes is the dogs bollocks. Can see why Sporting fans were upset about him leaving. Lesley is a beast in midfield.

 

I said the same on the way out on Saturday.

 

I missed the goals as my daughter refusing to sleep. Both Fernandes’ and aneroid mayo’s looked amazing

 

Bossed that, conceded a wonder strike, scored a beautiful goal ourselves.

Positive bursts forward, shots, competitive tackling, I am quite enjoying this.

 

Aneroid Mayo sounds like a seeping pile…

 

Breaking! Ramsdale medical tomorrow just flashed up

 

Worth remembering that this is only Cardiffs reserve side.

I know you can only beat what's in front of you etc etc, but too early to be forming firm judgements I think.

 

Not watching but sounds like Lesley is the new Wanyama?

 

Ticker tape on Sky says £25 million permanent deal agreed

 

Not sure how he feels about Spaghetti.

 

Of course, but even in games against lesser opposition you have to pass the eye test. Fernandes and Ugochukwu have done just that.

 

For those watching, do you think a midfield 3 of Downes, Ugochukwu and Fernandes would work?

 

Absolutely. No more Smallbone, please!
