Grudge?....i dont rate him....he is another G.Horne if you ask me.....everybody got carried away with him after the friendlys last season and he was average during the season....may be the same again this season.

Please Please Please no Richard Horne!!!!!!

If he aint fit, dont play him - end of!

He won't be there I'm sure but even though he hasnt trained baldy I kind of agree with you!

Richard Horne will play! He'll be fit

Nowt like giving a young player a bit of game time and a chance to prove himself.

He's been told he can have the weekend off mate so I doubt they will even list him in the squad.

Steady, Morgs could be reading and it will undue all the good PR about him being 50/50 for Cardiff in the press

Although it would help if he was even in full training

I really like Tansey as a player and would be gutted to see him waste his opportunity with us by fecking about. But if the club do decide to get rid then it is the right choice.
But it really does show the lack of depth within the squad, if we have to move about 2 maybe 3 players about to cover one position for the backs.

Also if Fitzy is to stay in the back row then I would rather play him in the second row and play Westerman at 13. Fitzy just slows the ball movement down too much when he's at first reciever and its not as if were fast at it anyways. Play Westerman in the centre of the field, allow him to get his hands on the ball more seeing as he is a ball handler.
So for me, either play Fitzy in the 2nd row or play him in the front row.
Then have a starting pack of;
O'Meley
Houghton
Fitzgibbon
Manu
Tickle
Westerman

roll on this friday 2pm 20 man squad is named ( wonder who will be in it )

That would be about right. Spend 4 years trying to get a 6 and when we do play him at 1. (I do appreciate that he can play FB as well) But that would sum the team up under Mr A for me.

As for the pack I would say that with the exception of Houghton which ever 6 are picked not one of them will play in any one specific role for the entire match. Fitz can play anywhere, Ogre front or 2nd row, Westerman Second or Loose etc. That mixing up may well be an added attacking option, especially while we lack a settled and regular 6.

I do though think that Richard will play Turner at 6 and give him a good run, injuries permitting. I would stick Horne if fit at centre or FB, keep him out of the middle and give his body time to adjust to full blown games again.
