It's turning into a pretty ordinary move so far, bottom of the table & not starting. Should've signed with Portsmouth - he was starting every game before his injury & they loved him there. From all accounts, they considered him their best player. Anyway, it's a long season so hopefully he can cement a starting role & Cardiff can stay up.


Seems they rate robbo too

Thanks for that. Yeah it's good to see that their fans think he should be in the starting eleven as well.

Watched the highlights - he was involved in the 2nd goal as well. Good to see him back playing - hopefully Arnie can get him in the next Socceroos camp, along with Robertson.

Talk among Portsmouth fans that Yengi limped out of the stadium after the game without even getting on the field. They said something about him getting injured warming up. Several fans seem very negative towards him now. There have been comments that he’ll be injured until he miraculously is fit for another game for Australia. They see him as someone who doesn’t actually want to play for Pompey, but will always manage to be fit for Australia.

They needn't worry as Yengi will be suspended for the next 3 games most likely so he'll be available for 1 in November if he even gets called up. 

Portsmouth Fans just a bit frustrated at the moment but they've gone alright for a promoted side.

No Irankunda Kiel away

Started and played an hour for the second team on Saturday, hopefully he gets a chance off the bench against Zagreb mid week.

We need to have some players like Volpato who are capable of playing Irankunda in. McGree, Robertson, Nisbet and Volpato (if he plays for us) will help us a lot in the front third.

yeah I haven't seen a lot of those balls from those others which is why I really want volpato. The roos that toured south america born 2007-2008ish iirc were capable of this

No disrespect but we couldn’t even use Nisbet in central areas properly against Indonesia, then how could we even think we could get the best out of Volpato?

Until the approach changes I have not much hope we can get the best of our technical players that we have.

The approach is probably partly due to the personell tho

By the time the asian cup and these last quals rolled round we have lost mooy, rogic, mcgree, hrustic all in a short space of time which is every high level creative mid we have. 2 of those are returning mind u and we have 2 emerging if we can find a way to cap them. But arnie had to learn how to compete ugly when creative mids are unavailable. He is also reluctant to use players out of season unless he feels he has no choice, as he blamed match fitness for the late calamity against iran in 97

Again parma controlling the game before conceding two goals and a red card.

They need to stop falling apart late in games. Could be a fitness issue

Izzo started for Randers in a 1-1 away draw v Midtjylland. He was voted POTM by Randers fans. They almost scored a winner at the end which would have given them their first away win there since 2014.

Not sure this has been mentioned - Cam Peupion scored a Hattrick for the Brighton ressies on the weekend. Last season he played wingback/ FB for their top team a couple of times - I'd love to see him converted to a FB fulltime, with the NT in mind. Attacking wise, would be awesome with Bos on the left & Peupion on the right

That's really good. He seems very good at that level. It's just the jump to men's football now. The Cheltenham loan was odd. A winter EFL loan would be ideal. He's got to get senior football.

For some reason it has always been hazardous to be loaned to a bottom of the table team. It can sometimes work, but you can get benched amd lose all your confidence because you are going to a disfunctional environment. Better off going midtable or higher or going to a top team in a league below
