Cardiff’s tactics under Warnock tonight

[Seagulltonian]

Early goal needed tonight! Get that, and we can control the game, ala QPR

 

[Official Old Man]

try and take out/double up on our players (particularly Knockhart) at every opportunity.

Every time AK has the ball around the half way line he is surrounded by three oppo players. A pass back will take out these players but he insists on beating the players instead. Fails more often than not.

Whether you understand it or not, teams have ensured they add an extra man whenever Knockaert gets into an advanced wide position. It doesn't always work, as Knockaert will try to go between them. If it does work, there will at least temporarily be extra space on the other wing, but I'd imagine the key to using it would be how quickly we switch play.

This is where Norwood could do some real damage with his passing range..........

I have this horrible feeling that they might sneak a smash and grab win tonight.

It's possible, but I had a similar feeling about QPR and look how that worked out.

 

[Triggaaar]

Never have understood this 'doubling up' theory.

The theory works when an opponent has a stand out player. It's not so good when the opponents are all good.

down there they allowed Duffy to have time on the ball but shut down his pass to Dunk, leaving him to punt an aimless ball forward or carry it then lose it.

Underestimate Warnock at our peril

Hhmm, me too, almost a reverse of the battering that we took down there a couple of seasons ago and came away with a 0 - 2 win (Orlandi & Leo)

I just hope that the quality and confidence throughout the team will prevail AND WE SMASH THEM!

 

[BBassic]

I actually think they'll come out as fast as they can to try and nick an early goal.

 

[Triggaaar]

If they park the bus, I wonder if we're better with Skalak putting crosses in.

March probably needs a rest.

When Skalak came on the other day v QPR, the one thing he DIDN'T do was cross the ball - whenever he got the ball out wide he played in back to Bruno.

Bamba to kick Murray every chance he can, just hope nobody gets injured and the ref strong enough to deal with any silly business
