samo II Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Looks odd, and being how highly LJ spoke of Freeman this week, not including him at all makes me think he's gone. Hope is like the Reading game; surprising line up leads to surprising performance (minus the last 20 mins, hopefully). Still; if that is 442, will be interesting to see how the new boys operate in it. For me; this might not be a 'must win' game but it is the closest to one we've had this season. Lose, and we could be level on points with the drop zone; win, and we could put daylight between us and the pack down the bottom. Here's to the start of a good run! COYR!

Guest Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Big show of faith in LJ to O'Dowda. He's set this lineup for him to flourish. I can see what he's trying to achieve; big brave call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 They usually post an image of how they line up formation wise. Guess they haven't done so to keep Cardiff, as well as the fans, guessing until the last minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing we can accept is this lineup of 11 presents more than a plan A. We can't even call the formation definitively; could be 5/3/2, 3/4/3 and with the bench, we have a plan c, d and e too. I think that might have been in LJ's thinking when picking this team. Not the way I would have approached this game but there is method in it.

If we win then presumably you'll be straight on here crediting him for getting it right? Nah probably not. May as well stay home today lads we've lost apparently.

If it were stubborn like Cotts he'd have only played one formation all season. LJ has used at least 3/4, it's just a case it appears he can't stop the losses, hopefully changes today.

I would say this an aboslute 100% must win game, anything less then i can see us being the bottom 3 come the end of the month. If we lose this, i would say Villa and Forest will be losses due to confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must win or not; is crucially important, of that there is no doubt. We lose today and Forest only need a point to draw level, giving them the opportunity to leapfrog us next week. We've thrown away our 'cushion', so now every game we lose, we the impact on our league position is significant. So you might be right tbh.

Maybe Freeman is unsettled due to all the speculation surrounding QPR and the contract offer from City, speculating he might not be in the right mindset...
