Subs: Daniels, Canos, MacLeod, Barbet, Maupay, Sawyers, Mepham
The only question marks for me there are Bjelland and Vibe. Re Bjelland, depending on how the play off goes tonight he might return on a high, be disappointed at missing out on what is probably his last chance at the World Cup, and either way be knackered. Barbet to come in instead if Smith needs to manage Bjelland in light of the play offs. Possibly might start with Barbet on basis of freshness and a fortnight of training with the team anyway. Or because with my line up there isn't anyone that reliable with free kicks (we can't ask Watkins to do everything).
I'm in two minds between Vibe and Maupay. Cardiff will be their typically robust selves in defence so Maupay would be a choice to fight fire with fire. At home where we might have some chance of the ref being sympathetic that would give a chance to get a couple of cards for their centre backs. But away I suspect most refs would just wave off all but the most egregious attempts to wrestle Maupay. Vibe is better at avoiding heavy defending and finding space so might cause them more problems, softening up for Maupay to come on after an hour. Either way I'd expect whichever starts to be subbed for the other for tactical reasons.
