Although we beat Cardiff 2-0 after the lockdown. We managed to deal with their long throw in. We did deal with it by using Rodak as the one to attack the ball every time it came into the penalty box.
I am afraid that the Cardiff players may try to block Rodak from getting to the ball.
Yes so what Should we do?
Don't play Rodak, that'll confuse them. :023:
Install crash barriers around the pitch?
Surely with such tactics they will be risking yellow cards.
No point worrying about it all, we will go up or we won't. Speculating on everything will just do your head in.
Enjoy the ride.
Usually worry about every game and this one no different. If Cardiff get noses in front they will be very difficult to dislodge, much more difficult than last time around.
We play to our strengths and let them know who the governors are, we play to our tempo and let them do the worrying.
Our players will man up and be first and second to the ball. They will think there are 12 or 13 Fulham players on the pitch, that's how busy our players will be all over the pitch.
We will run them off their own pitch on Monday.
We will out pass them, outplay them, out run them, out fight them, out class them, because we have to.
We are far better prepared and equipped to move up into the Premier Division than they are.
As long as we match them for tenacity, desire and belief there will only be one winner.
Amen to that WM, COYW!
From a match prep coaching perspective the answer would seem to be quite simple, don't put the ball out in our third. The gambles are many. Will hoofing it out with only one outlet simply allow Cardiff to build an attack again, will playing the ball out mean we lose possession in the middle of our third or is there a high risk of losing possession trying to do either/or as Cardiff figure it out and close us down at pace. I would like to think there is a plan involving communication, Hector, Rodak and Onamah eating their weetabix and we are three up before they win a throw in.

Under Parker we have no 'tempo', we aren't dynamic, the only time we have shown anything different is against Sheff Wed, then against Wigan we returned to type.

Look at the last match against Wigan, we lost possession so so easily. Possession is one of our strengths, Cardiff will really press. The reason why it works against us is because we are so 'pedestrian', we don't move the ball quickly. 'Treacle football' at it's best.
True enough. I think theCardiff dressing room only needs one banner, Get at em, and the equivalent in Welsh.

Treacle football, that is a good description, let us hope we do not fall into that trap.
Think Parker will go defensive in the first leg and focus on not trying to concede a goal. I hope he doesn't do this - I think we're a much better team when we have an attacking mindset.

Now this is what Scotty should be saying to our players. I fear he will, instead, say what a hard game it will be and how good Cardiff are!

Why? How many times have you been in dressing room to know that.
