McPhee Starts Against Bluebirds

Albion boss Mark McGhee has handed Chris McPhee his first start of the season for tonight's clash with Cardiff at Ninian Park.

It is McPhee's first start since the 1-0 win at Rotherham at the tail-end of last season. The 22-year-old replaces Jake Robinson in attack.

Elsewhere McGhee has plumped for the more experienced Jason Dodd in the right-back berth, and so Adam El-Abd must make do with a place on the bench.

Paul McShane returns to the heart of the defence after serving a one-match ban at the weekend.

For the home side dangerman Cameron Jerome returns after suspension, replacing Michael Ricketts, who has picked up an ankle in training.

In midfield Paul Perry comes in for Neil Ardley, who drops to the bench.

Jeff Whitley, who was struggling with a groin injury, has come through a late injury test.

Albion: (4-4-2) Blayney; Dodd, McShane, Butters, Reid; Carole, Oatway, Hammond, Frutos; Knight, McPhee. Subs: Chaigneau (GK), Nicolas, El-Abd, Kazim-Richards, Robinson.

Cardiff: (4-4-2) Alexander; Weston, Loovens, Purse, Barker;Parry, Ledley, Whitley, Koumas; Lee, Jerome. Subs: Margetson (GK), Cox, Ardley, Boland, Mulryne.

Referee: Lee Mason.

Ricketts is out injured for Cardiff. He would have probably been on the bench anyway.

Crazy decision to play McPhee. I hope he proves me wrong, I really do, but I don't feel he is up to this level. Just about the worst striker at the club.

On the bright side Alexander is in goal for them - he is prone to the odd gaff. Gifted one to Zamora a few years back down there.

I can't see what the problem is. he is trying something new as robinson and knight obviously isn't working. he will be out to impress, and looks a better player than turienzo.

No doubt he will run through walls for the Albion. I think he would be better off trying to run around the opposition instead of straight through them.

Frutos to take the first corner.
