    If the pitch dimensions are as stated, then Cardiff’s pitch is four metres wider than Valley Parade, and the same as Doncaster. However the length seems to be shorter.
    If that is the case, then our wing backs may have to sit deeper, as if they push up, then the cover for our slower centre backs will be lacking. We have seen what happens when fast attacks happen with our defence stretched.
    Could well depend on whether we can cope with an early storm.
    Youth, pace, pitch width and confidence will be provide very tough opponents this afternoon.

    In the build up to the Hudds game GA confirmed Richards played in the bounce game last week but Kav's recovery has plateaued

    Well we have no CM on bench according to Parker, unless Lapslie was to go there if needed. Im not convinced Cook, Humphrys and Powell are all on bench today. Could be wrong.

    He got injured in their first preseason game so had no preseason at all.

    Watching Blackpool vs Barnsley, few of our old boys playing in Jack Shepherd and Scott Banks. Very dull game, Blackpool struggle to get 2 or 3 passes together, 442 and everything is long to big Ashley Fletcher. Banks barely had a kick so far playing on the left wing. No worries so far for next week based on the first half.

    Steve Bruce can't have long left after all of the money they spent in the summer and long contracts given so they've. If they lose today I wouldn't be surprised if he was sacked before next week.

    He has already had the dreaded vote of confidence from the owner. Going.... Going....

    He looks clueless so far today. They are struggling, but it's like they are stuck in a game from 10/15 years ago at this level. Just a long ball to the big man and hope to win a free kick or a flick to a winger and hope he can beat 2 men. He'll be gone soon.
