I suppose its to be expected there is hardly much talk / interest in this game, but given its a rearranged fixture, i reckon there will be quite a few people that haven't got a clue there is a game tonight.
Either through ignorance or lack of interest, i expect tonight to be the worst turn out for a league game in x years.
Would you change the team around now, give certain youngsters a shot etc ?

I'd like to see Solly and one or two other young players on the bench at least.
Elliott
Solly---Clark---Ward---Basey
Sam---Jonjo---Racon---Bailey
Burton---Tuna Sandwich
I suspect my team would lose but hey! It's already over.
I fully expect us to win tonight and probably play really well followed by all the usual 'if we'd played like that all season crap'
I'm looking forward to the Norwich game but mainly cause it's a bank holiday sunday, hopefully a nice day and can have a good laugh and a piss up.....can't seem to muster the same enthuiasm for tonight!!
As other's have said, I'd rather see a bunch of kids and 'Charlton' players out there tonight, only play a loanee if absolutely necessary i.e injury.
Think we will win
Nothing to play for now so no pressure
Would like to see a squad with next year in mind...get Solly, Tuna, Basey, Arter, Dickson, maybe even Clark or Mambo involved.
If someone's contract can be terminated before the end of the season then that I'm sure that is being considered, but I doubt it is the case.
I reckon we'll do them 7 nil
I would imagine there will be a large turnout by Cardiff, who are still chasing 2nd place for now.
As much as we'd like to see it we're not going to see three or four youngsters start, more likely a couple, so I'd like to see Solly get his debut and give Basey a game in place of Youga.
Bring on Arter and Tuna. Would be nice to see Mambo or Clark on the bench but I can't see it happening.
I'd like to see Dickson and Kandol or Burton get a game together, though I think we'll carry on with the 4-5-1, making it very unlikely that Dickson never mind Tuna will start.
Ward and Hudson will have to play simply because there are no other natural centre backs, asking a bit too much of Mambo to throw him in at the moment.
Having said that, no reason not to try out Chris Solly at RB - he's waited long enough, having put in some sterling performances in the reserves as captain. So his time should be now.
I still can't see Parky throwing caution to the winds and going for an out and out 4-4-2.
But it's not a defensive 4-5-1, with Shelvey pushed up in the hole, Sam stretching defenders wide and ZZ, Racon and Bailey sniffing round the edge of the box to take a pop with any loose balls, so there's a fair bit of artillery out there.
Burton/Kandol up front no doubt - but no harm having Tuna on the bench again, maybe with Arter, Basey or Holland to cover CB, and Dicko - although it could be Waggy again, as he's been getting good press lately.
I can't see any other changes.
we should play the side that has seen relative success in the last 5 games.
don't feel that we should play the kids.
imo that would be very hypocritical of how i felt when liverpool got beat by our relegation rivals fulham in the prem.
Plus im going and havent seen us win since the Swansea game :(
I'm guessing the loan deals expire at the end of the season so we can't send them back (like Millwall and McLeod). And if we did, we'd still be paying for them.
I personally don't feel we should start loads of kids, as Cardiff are a decent side and what good will it do our kids to get battered 4 or 5-0? Maybe Solly could start. But nothing wrong with bringing on a couple of youngsters for the last 15 minutes
Yep that's the reason it won't happen. Throwing in Solly, Mambo and Clark all at the same time wouldn't do them much good.
We've seen it in the case of Wagstaff, Pardew played him against Bilbao and Yeovil and he struggled through it before being taken off at half time. Since then he's had a couple of loan spells that should have helped him.
Got to play them when they are ready, and from what I've seen, Solly is ready for a few games, but it's too early for Mambo, Clark and Tuna to be starting, especially considering the positions Mambo and Tuna play. Probably easier to bring a young full back or winger in than a central player.
Having surprisingly got thrashed 6-0 in their last game, you can bet your life Cardiff will be fired up tonight - or they'll get the kicking of a lifetime from their own manager.
Parkinsella will know that we need to put out our strongest side, for the sake of our own self-respect.
Don't forget the Corey Watts song tonight ....!!!!
Blimey, he's a legend already.
;o)
loads of london based cardiff fans there tonight
