Team for Burton

Will be very interesting as Gunnar, Ward and Ralls all come into the frame, plus the fact we have a couple away on international duty that might complicate things.
On the whole Warnock does not mess around with his team selection and I think he will be hoping for a settled side for the last 9 games. He might be tempted to play Madine up top with Ken but I guess he will play his usual 433

Etheridge (if back from Manilla)
Manga
Bamba
Morrison
Bennett
Dujic
Paterson (again if he is back)
Ralls
NML
Zohore
Junior

subs
Murphy
Gunnar
Halford
Madine
Ward
Feeney
Damour

I am a bit worried about this game. The postponement and break may have come at the wrong time and I can see us struggling to get a grip on the game in the first half. Hopefully we will put it right in the second half against opponents whose sole ambition will be to get a point or perhaps nick a goal on the counter.

Peltier/Manga - Morrison - Bamba - Richards

Ralls - Grujic

Paterson

NML - Zohore - Hoilett

Subs: Murphy, Peltier/Manga, Connolly, Gunnarsson, Traore, Madine, Wildschutt

(Tough on Richards, Halford, Damour, J Ward, K Harris, Pilkington, Feeney and Bryson. The squad is looking very strong again!)

looks good to me, i would perhaps swap damour in for gruijic though - he still looks way too casual on the ball and makes a lot of missplaced passes for a centre mid

Re: Team for Burton

Burton have got to get wins asap so it should be an open game. I agree the break has not been great for our momentum, but if we can nick an early goal then the game will really open up.

No injuries from the lads who've gone away would be perfect, and some extra recovery time for the lads who were already injured might just work in our favour.

It's perfect timing. We get to forget about the previous brilliant 9-game unbeaten run, and start from scratch again. It's much easier to plan out a 9-game sequence, that it is an 18-game one. It's all in the mind see .. Neil will be delighted.

Just when did Ralls become fit enough to play?

I'm not convinced he will be.

I expect to see Jeremy's team but with Bryson in it instead of Ralls

Is Richards starting or not ?

Surely you mean Bennett at LB ?

Wheres Bryson ?. Dont think Ralls will be fit enough to come straight back in either. Same as Brentford for me, as long as no new injuries from Internationals, with Bryson in squad for Ward.

No way Damour is better than Grujic, who has stepped up in the last theee or four games. If Bryson and Ralls are not ready they will probably both start. Bryson instead of Damour for me if everyone fully fit.

Tough on Richards?? I'd guess he'd be delighted to be playing at left back.

See posts above. It was a slip of the keyboard. I was thinking Bennett but typed Richards, That's why he's also listed as missing out.

Good question.

From the way Warnock described Richards and Ralls training before the break - and some admittedly vague statements about getting all the injured back - I assumed everyone (not missing or injured on International duty) would be available.

But against that neither Ralls or Richards will have had any match football unless something is arranged this week. I suppose that makes it unlikely they would be ready to step back in.

OK, cheers. I just read your post and commented on it rather than scrolling through the whole thread first.

As we've been on such a great run, I wouldn't make too many changes. If any at all.

They are chalk and cheese i guess...one is slow paced and prefers to pick his passes the other likes to run hard and get involved in speedy counter attacks..

oh and one actually impacts the game in a positive way.. (:hehe: couldn't resist)
