Maccarone 264 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Holloway changes his views more times than I change my kegs. Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Anyones thoughts on the lineup? I think we will line up similar to Leeds, but with Adomah starting on the right, instead of Stuani. Havent a clue with the back 4 mind! Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I imagine it will run pretty close this one, especially with Friend for the sake of balance. They'll probably go through a fitness check in an hour or so before AK makes his decision on whether they make the squad. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I agree, as it stands, it's impossible to predict a result until the line-up is announced. Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I think Ayala will start and Friend will be on the bench, and will probably come on sometime in the 2nd half. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hasn't Holloway completely changed his tune on Boro over the last month? After the defeat of Derby it was all sunshine and rainbows, Middlesbrough will be pretty much unstoppable and will destroy this league. Now all of a sudden he has no faith in us doing anything. Sounds like a few people on here, actually! :D It's strange really because we've been doing so well since Derby... Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I agree, as it stands, it's impossible to predict a result until the line-up is announced. Thanks BWS and with that in mind the return of DS award will apply tonight. FGS and time of first goal. 0-0 null and void Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 264 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 AK likes a few mind games, I think one of Ayala/Friend will start, probably Ayala to add support to young Fry and leave George a few more days until Fulham at the weekend. Score prediction for the DS award, 3-0, FGS Rhodes 14 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites
BearSmog 1,382 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've seen Cardiff play more times than I've seen anyone else this season and they always flatter to deceive in my opinion. 9 times out of 10 they look awful but somehow get a result. If we play anywhere near our best tonight we will win, we need to get the monkey off of our back. 2-0 Boro, Rhodes to score first in the 17th minute Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Cardiff's away record is nothing to write home about - 4 wins in 16 games. Two of those wins have come in the last few away games though in fairness at Huddersfield and Wolves though so not necessarily impressive by themselves. A fully fit and firing Boro and we'd be looking at this is a game we should win with plenty of confidence. But we're not fully fit and firing and our last two home games and last few games in general have been less than impressive. Against we Leeds we at least looked a bit more likely to do something in the second half but the first half was woeful and the problem is we're just as likely to produce more of that than anything else. I hope we can get an early goal to maybe build a bit of confidence and then push on and dictate things. The longer we stay 0-0 the more the nerves are going to kick in so I'd love to see a fast start from us. I'm not sure what type of occasion it's going to be with the Ali Brownlee stuff going on but I hope it helps put a bit of fire in our bellies. I can't think of anything less appropriate than a tedious draw or defeat. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 My prediction for first scorer would be Ayala if he's in the team but seen as we have no idea whether that is the case, I think I'll play safe and go for Rhodes, 16 minutes. Sticking with 2-0 to the Boro. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 1-0 Ayala fgs. Hope he starts. Link to post Share on other sites
