Next up for Cardiff City is a Carling Cup fixture away against Division 2 club Oxford United on Wednesday night. It should give Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay a chance to give a run out for some of the players not involved in the West Ham Sunday.There are a number of City players hoping for a chance by Mackay on Wednesday with goalkeeper Tom Heaton hoping to get the nod to play.
Defensively there are a number of options Dekel Keinan, Gabor Gyepes, Alex Evans, Paul Quinn, Jonathan Meades miss out on the first game of the season and will be hoping for a start or some playing times. Others hoping to see their names on the team sheet for Oxford will be Stephen McPhail, Aaron Wildig, Solomon Taiwo, and Ibrahim Farah and Filip Kiss will have to wait on the manager’s decision. Strikers Jon Parking, Nathaniel Jarvis have yet to have some pitch time since pre-season while both Joe Mason and Rudy Gestede came off the bench at West Ham.
Most teams in the Championship and some other play relatively weaken teams in the early rounds of the competition hoping to make it through until the Premiership teams enter at the Third roundIt has been awhile since Cardiff and Oxford played back in the days of the Manor Ground before they moved to their present ground the all-seater stadium Kassam Stadium. Back in 1999/2000 when they meet in the Division 2 with Cardiff, draw 1-1 at home and winning 3-2 away.
However, Oxford was to have the last laugh over Cardiff at season piping the Welsh to safety while Cardiff had to injure relegation.
