Cardiff City boss Steve Morison has suggested he won't make wholesale changes to his starting XI for the final seven games of the Championship the season.
The Bluebirds head into the final stretch of the campaign more or less safe from relegation, and unable to reach the top six. Indeed, on paper at least, they have little to play for, particularly after their 4-0 drubbing at home to south Wales rivals Swansea City on Saturday. It's a situation that has caused some fans to call on Morison to experiment with his starting XI ahead of what is expected to be a summer of immense upheaval.
As many as 10 first-team stars could leave when their contracts run out at the end of the season, while five loanees will all return to their respective parent clubs. With little at stake in these final few games, some may feel this an ideal time to blood in the likes Oliver Denham, Jai Semenyo, and midfielder Eli King, alongside more established players such as Rubin Colwill, Isaak Davies, James Collins and Max Watters, all of whom could find themselves at the heart of Morison's plans next season. Goalkeeper George Ratcliffe is another that could well be assessed given the expected departure of Alex Smithies this summer.
