I had a feeling JM would go strong for this game. Thought he would start Bamford rather than Rodrigo though.

Patience is the key tonight for me. They will sit deep and look to try and catch us on the break. None of this over committing people forward to press and inviting the break with a ball over the top.
Hopefully a measured approach, rely on our quality to carve them open and hopefully score an early goal. Set pieces will be crucial for us and I would like to see us capitalise on them early.

How come Bagan is able to play? I thought a straight red was a 3 match ban?

Greenwood inclusion for set pieces I presume

If its still 0-0 after 15 mins I'd be fairly happy,

Here's a thought.

We have one left back in Firpo.

Three left sided CBs in Cooper, Struijk and Wober.

And three left wingers in Harrison, Gnonto and Sinisterra.

Firpo likes to play as a winger

The more I think about it the more I reckon that this has to be a good win for Jesse.

Playing four strangers in defence is a huge risk.

Anyone any idea how strong Cardiff are? I dont know their team.

If a player is sent off for a professional foul (eg holding an opponent back when they're through on goal) or a second bookable offence they will be handed a one-match ban.

Straight red cards for dissent will result in a two-match ban, while dangerous tackles or violent conduct will result in a three-match ban which can be raised to four or more games in extreme cases.

Copied.

3 pts above the drop zone. Managerless.
Don’t score much. Nine games without a win.
118 days he was in charge. Understood the defence was decent
