Back to 3 at back tomorrow I reckon. Which to be fair is how we’ve played our best football. Lossl Zanka. Schindler. Kongolo Durm. Puncheon. Hogg. Billing. Lowe. Pritchard Mounie. No way.. Has to be 4..2..3..1 Lossl Durm Schindy Terrence Lowe Billing Hogg Mbenza Pritchard Diakaby Mounie ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK Why does it have to be 4231? You can ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK what ever formation you play. We've played 4231 last 2 games and actually played bloody awful. The extra man in midfield takes the responsibility away a little from Billing to actually have any work rate and Durm & Lowe wide have performed much more than Diakaby & Mbenza.

Here's how its going to play out, game will be 1-0 Cardiff, Town will control the game for 60/70 minutes with minimal threat to their goal with our best chances falling to Steve Mounie looping header from the edge of the box.
Before conceding a goal on the counter attack where we are spread open like room temp Lurpak on toast.

I was already a personal trainer and decided to practise what I preached as much as I could. I can honestly say the thought of lurpak on a crumpet almost gives me chubb.

We cannot play 1 up front against a relegation rival again this season. It would be absolutely unacceptable. I want Wagner in his role until seasons end no matter what happens, but I'd call that the decision of a man who's cracked under the pressure and needs a break. We have to punch our way out of this corner. We can't defend our way to the wins we need. Unfortunately I will be unsurprised but very disappointed if we play 1 striker tomorrow. We can play with one striker upfront, but still play more attacking, e.g. they press more, a higher line, Pritchard is not expected to drop back as much, Billing is given more freedom, etc. It's not just the formation, but also the tactics.

Precisely. Those saying they will be disappointed if we play one up front are being silly. Of course we should play one up front. We have to be able to compete and win the midfield battle (like at Wolves where we outnumbered them) in order to win the game. It’s all about the tactics within that system.

Going to be a predictable game.
Cardiff have no pace at the back but luckily for them we don’t have anyone who runs in behind or tries to stretch the opposition.
They will allow us to keep the ball at the back and we will either slowly pass it out wide for someone to cross into the box or will hit it forwards to Mounie. Both will result in him being outnumbered and Morrison/Bamba easily dealing with it.
Cardiff will put pressure on us with high balls and people running at us with the ball. They will also get number into the box and try to score.
2-0 Cardiff.

I have been to every game bar 2 this season. We have played 21 league games and won 2. Playing one up front. Do you want to explain why i am being silly asking for 2 up front?

Warnock, time-wasting, analytics and "passenacio". Drop the rotating the ball v weak teams....that includes Cardiff. Denying opponents the ball as a defensive ploy is all well and good when you dont need a dozen points sharpish. Lossl seeing plenty of it is absolutely no use any more. It is "take a risk time". A point is no good at all. If Cardiff score watch the time-wasting....even first half. Morrison and his 5 minute throw ins. The punts in to the stands if we attack in numbers. The keeper moving a dead ball 4 times like the Fulham keeper. Warnock knows the maths. You cant score if they are time-wasting on it. You cant score if it is in the stands. Cardiff v Burnely and the ball in play just 42 minutes....on purpose. 3 at the back, front foot, high-press....we can revert if we score. A genuine "must-win".

I am just pissed off at the minute, i have looked at the table many times this afternoon and the upcoming fixtures. We just have to win tomorrow and i will be sorely disappointed if the starting team does not have attacking intent, as a minimum, Mounie, Pritchard and Mbenza.

Other teams can. 21 games and 2 wins playing one up front. Hope i am proved wrong and we win playing one up front. You can play two up front and be even more defensive if the four behind and the full backs don't support. It's far too simple to talk about shoving two up front making all the difference. Their defence contains Morrison who makes Zanka looks like Beresi in possession, so I certainly want to see more pressing tmrw.

I never said shoving 2 up front would make all the difference, I have never said that. All I said is I would like to see 2 up front. 2 wins in 21 with one up front, you can blame that on tactics or formation but it’s still only 2 wins. In the situation we are in what have we got to lose by playing 2 up front? Anyway. We know it will be one so it’s a pointless excercise.

If we can't beat Cardiff then we might as well get the white flag out for the rest of the season.

For the first time in 38 years, I don't give a shit. Really, the first time in 38 years following Town. You and me obviously had different experiences watching Town in the last 38 years, 87/88 when Supermac was in charge for example I thought was a very good year.
