My only possible change would be to start Richards.
The trouble is we don't know if anyone's picked up a slight knock or needs a rest. Bennett looked to be injured, so Richards would be a definite for me.
I'd like to see Tomlin in action, probably instead of Ralls but that's no reflection on Ralls' performance. Probably stating the bleedin obvious, but a win tomorrow would really help the momentum.
Richards in for Bennett
Tomlin in for Damour
Are the likely changes.
If we can, yes. Don't risk anyone with a knock but the lads that started on Saturday must be full of confidence.
And it's Tomlin for Ralls for meQuote:

I think Sheffield Utd will be our hardest challenge yet as they are confident and will come expecting to get something from the game. I'd say if we win this one then we really will have something to start getting excited about.
I think Villa are shot already. They're playing to a game plan that doesn't work against quick teams, and this league is increasingly moving towards pace and power being the minimum required to compete.
I was thinking the 2 changes myself but I agree Sheffield will be very tough. Am I right in thinking that Saturdays defeat was their first since January?
What a great problem to have.
Let's leave it with Neil, he's called the first two games spot on :thumbup:
Absolutely. It is absolutely brilliant to have complete confidence in the manager. Sure, he will make mistakes but he'll have more masterstrokes than errors. He's the best manager we've had in a long, long time.
Never change a winning team especially after a fantastic performance. Nobody deserves to be dropped. Only if Bennett is injured would I change anything.
I can't believe the posters thinking Tomlin will come in for Ralls tomorrow. Not a chance in hell imo. One of Joe's best games for us, lost count of the number of tackles he won. Warnocks post match interview on ifollow shows exactly how much he thinks of Ralls. Players like Joe always go unnoticed but are vital to a balance of a team. He totally nullified Whelan Saturday and will definitely retain his place. Glad Warnock is our manager. Stick to supporting and leave the tactics to our gaffer!!

I agree with this.Quote:

People who say never change a winning team are living in the dark ages. Squad rotation is all part of the game now.
Warnock showed last season he wasnt afraid to mix up a winning team.
^^^^ As stated above.
Agree, different team, different way of playing equals squad changes to match them. That's the modern game and it's great that we have different options and can set up differently to suit the opposition.Quote:

yep
I'm sure we all trust Warnock, however the OP asked directly if YOU would start the same eleven against Sheffield UTD.Quote:

I would change as it's a long old season. Probably take off Hoilett and put on Ward, Tomlin for Damour. Just to get them some more game time.
Whatever the team I'll be happy regardless.
I may have not explained properly. There are perhaps a few changes I would like to see however NW has more information on the players then I do and if his decision goes against my opinion I would go with that every time. It's a nice feeling to have as a city fan.Quote:

Didn't read the rest of my post just trying to derail this thread by phishing. Ban him Mike.
I'd stick with the same starting Xl. Injuries aside there is no need to change anyone for this game.
