Under new boss Sabri Lamouchi, the team has lost both of their games 1-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lamouchi gave a scathing assessment of the side\u2019s perilous position after defeat to Hull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have to panic. Sometimes if you care about something you can play without any thinking in your mind. So just run, fight and do what you have to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have to panic because the situation is not comfortable. I know they are all aware of the situation, so this is very important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The club is a solitary point above the relegation zone but two of the three teams below could leapfrog them with their game in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lamouchi will want to get the club back to winning ways starting with the home tie against Middlesbrough this weekend &#8211; but that is easier said than done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lamouchi\u2019s first two games<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73858\" width=\"408\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-770x770.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-293x293.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-390x390.jpg 390w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-900x900.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73858\" width=\"408\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-770x770.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-293x293.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-390x390.jpg 390w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lamouchiu-carry-900x900.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The French manager has not revolutionised the team selection but his first two line-ups give an indication as to his priorities and preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark McGuinness\u2019s spell at Sheffield Wednesday earned high praise from fans and it is no surprise that he has played a key part since his return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lamouchi\u2019s most intriguing selection may have been central defender Jack Simpson at left-back but the defender suffered an injury against Hull City and may not be ready to play again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of Callum O\u2019Dowda as a make-shift defender is one point of difference between Lamouchi and his predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause with the qualities of Callum, they are more offensive than defensive, and we thought he could help us to score or assist and to create more,\u201d the new manager said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t think Callum is a left-back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This leaves a vacancy at left-back where Lamouchi\u2019s best options seem to be a left-sided attacker or a central defender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In both games, Lamouchi has started Romaine Sawyers and Sheyi Ojo, who both spent more time than they&#8217;d like on the sidelines under previous managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cardiff&#8217;s story so far<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>City fans are growing increasingly restless about the return of Isaak Davies to the first team. He was an unused substitute in Lamouchi&#8217;s first game and did not make the squad in his second. As long as this season&#8217;s regulars struggle to score, the case for Davies remains strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New signing Sory Kaba managed 35 minutes against Hull City but, before that, did not play since November 13, 2022. The Guinean striker looks set to play a crucial role in the remainder of City&#8217;s season but the game against Middlesbrough may have come too soon for a start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rubin Colwill remains a doubt with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mahlon Romeo\u2019s return to fitness might allow the versatile Perry Ng to fill the vacancy at left-back. After the defeat to Hull, Lamouchi suggested he was yet to \u201cfind the right system\u201d so we could see the Bluebirds line up in a different formation altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That could give a place to a third attacker \u2013 Mark Harris, Jaden Philogene \u2013 to another central defender for added security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wing-backs and a three-man defence should free the midfielders from their shackles and give them greater licence to affect the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is anything that Lamouchi\u2019s twin 1-0 losses have told us, it\u2019s that he wants to keep it tight at the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goals, he hopes, will come in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Predicted line-up vs Middlesbrough: Allsop; Romeo, Ng, McGuinness, Kipre, O\u2019Dowda; Rinomhota, Sawyers, Wintle; Ojo, Robinson.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"475\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lineup-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lineup-4.png 350w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lineup-4-221x300.png 221w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lineup-4-293x398.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lineup-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lineup-4.png 350w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lineup-4-221x300.png 221w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/lineup-4-293x398.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The opposition<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With Manchester United legend Michael Carrick in the dugout, Middlesbrough set up in a 4-2-3-1 that stars sorely-missed Cardiff loanee Ryan Giles as an attacking left-back and Manchester City goalkeeper Zack Steffen as an extra man in possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Cardiff retain more of the ball at home, the visiting team has a much better grasp on possessional play and should play with the confidence of a team that are pushing for promotion.
