To be honest I havent a clue. Warnock threw a couple of surprises Tuesday and with another midweek to come and nearly everyone back from injury I expect him to throw a couple more.
FWIW Here are the players I am pretty sure will feature:
Etheridge
Morrison
Ralls
Hoilett
Manga
The rest of the team is a toss up but I guess:
Pelts
Bennett
Bamba
Paterson
Madine if fit
Gujic
Bet I get loads wrong.
Gujic is in every game so far without any consideration on what he brings...must be quite costly for us not to play him. Would love to see THAT loan contract
surely Patterson is going to be in too - a solid performer of late
would like to see Zohore rewarded for his efforts at Bolton. Also would like to see Damour featured...doesn't really do much wrong in my eyes (other than his occasional rash challenge)
The gujic thing is strange , perhaps Warnock is getting all his games out of the way early so he’s free to use someone else at the end of the season.
I said the same about Grujic on another thread the other day. With Ralls and Grujic being pretty much undroppable for different reasons, it doesn't offer much hope for the likes of Damour or Bryson. It might also be another reason why Tomlin was let go. I was excited when we signed Grujic but not sure he's done enough to warrant him playing every game. Looks like I'm in the minority based on the comments on here, but I didn't think he was that great against Bolton either.Quote:

Gunnar back by end of March earliest, Danny Ward out for the season and Fred Guonongbe has been abducted by aliens again!
If all that is true (and Peltier doesn't make it) my best guess is:
Etheridge
Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett
Paterson Grujic Ralls
NML, Zohore, Hoilett
Subs: Murphy, Traore, Damour, Pilkington, Wildschut, Halford, Healey
Thought he was tidy enough against wall and Bolton myself. I do get your point though, my mate reckons he's no different to Halford or Bamba in midfield... we all see it differently don't we.Quote:

If we had Gunnar then maybe we would see more out of him with less defensive responsibility.
I'd say Gunnar will probably be back by June at the earliest...Quote:

Same but Traore and Wildschut to start.Quote:

Traore will rip Manga apart if he's at full back whilst Peltier will put him in the stands. I really hope Peltier is fit however I think its pretty obvious Manga will start at full back instead of Peltier.
Warnock will try and play it tight - their strikers including Rudy 50p head can't hit a barn door at the moment Assambolonga's penalty last week was hilariously bad so its going to be tight. This has got 0-0 all over it or 1 nil - to who I have no idea but Pulis will not take any risks and hope the ball finds Traore whilst we'll be doing the same hoping the ball falls to Hoillett. Their defenders are pretty good and will be organised. I'd much rather Madine for this one but it also looks like he won't be playing
Somehow I think Neil will take a point.
Doesn't Traore play on Bennett's side?Quote:

I think a few have forgotten how poor he was around the Xmas period.Quote:

However that may well just have been mental & physical tiredness from Damour.
I don't think he's a bad player, just probably not our best option in midfield at the moment
For me, a similar team to Tuesday after we switched to a back 4 following Ward's injury. Although I expect Madine to replace Zahore and Bamba to replace Manga.
