After a barren weekend as far as Cardiff City was concerned Tuesday's game against Bristol City can't come quick enough.

Rob Earnshaw has returned rom his loan spell with Greenock Morton, Rob's last game was against Rangers last Saturday in a 1 - 0 defeat. Billy has promised to include Rob in tomorrows squad, maybe not from the start but certainly on the bench at least.

City have two injury problems, Josh Low is still out and Jorn Schwinkendorf has turned his ankle so he is unavailable.

With the departure of Ian Feuer (see other news today) and Seamus Kelly still out on loan the reserve keeper tomorrow is likely to be Pat Jennings Jr, Pat has had no league experience. The only other option is youth keeper Paul Buttery but Pat is likely to be favoured. At least we have a first choice keeper. Bristol City may have to give the No.1 shirt to one of their youth keepers because of injuries and unavailability to their 1st and 2nd choice keepers. If Billy Mercer is unfit the role will go to either Anthony Malessa or Ty Scope, neither of whom have had any first team experience.

Its thought that we will probably start the game with an unchanged side from the XI that played Aberystwyth last week but with Rob Earnshaw back and Danny Hill fit maybe a change or two would not be out of the question.
