3 players got into the Champ team of the week, Manga, Bennett and Ralls. Funnily enough when we beat Sheff Utd 2-0 Manga was RB. Will he continue there or will Paterson come back, who I assume was rested because of the 3 games in a week. Hopefully Gunnar and NML will start so my team:
Etheridge
Paterson
Manga
Morrison
Bamba
Bennett
Ralls
Gunnar
NML
Junior
Ward
I much prefer Morrison and Bamba as the centre halves.
I'd play the same back side but Gunnar in for Bryson and only play NML if he's 100%. He's too important to risk, and that's without Harris being out for another month. Feeney works hard but I'm not sure what he's actually good at, the same goes for Bryson. Clearly a decent player with incredible energy but he doesn't keep possession or win tackles.
I don't think much of Bamba Gunnar and Ralls as a midfield. If it's a back 5 then I don't think he will revert back to that if we have Gunnar available again.
Etheridge
Paterson (if not be adverse to manga playing here)
Morrison
Bamba

Ralls
Damour box to box replaced with Tomlin
NML
Ward (please play it on the floor and give the lad a chance)
Hoilett
If Zahore is fit. I would like to see him and Ward up front in a 4-4-2.

Zahore

Bringing on Tomlin if it is not working.

I wouldn't say 'not keen.' Just prefer Manga and Bamba as Central defenders, seems to be more mistakes in Morrison, though I also understand he pitches in with goals and obviously seems to be the leader on the pitch Warnock wants. Seeing the 3 together is also good. I guess it is a luxury to have 3 good CDs vying for the 2 spots. Connelly must be gutted as I think he is an above average Championship defender that can't get into the starting line up.

New signing alert.......Zahore😂😂😂
I guess Warnock made promises to Manga that he would play him regularly. I dont disagree that as a CB Morrison can be a bit suspect but makes up for that with the problems he causes at the other end. Would not be surprised if Warnock does play 5 at the back tomorrow.
Assuming no Ken or M-L
Etheridge
Peltier
Manga
Morrison
Bamba
Bennett
Paterson
Bryson
Ralls
Ward
Junior
Gunnarsson, Damour and Feeney to make appearances in the second half.
I dont like us with 5 at the back.
If we are to do it then we would need Paterson and Bennet as wing backs. No room for Peltier There, he's good defensively, but we need to be on the front foot if we are to give up a midfielder. Certainly can't see Paterson in the centre when we have Damour and Tomlin, depending on how adventurous we are going to be.
So long as we have injuries, I don't see any scope for adventure. NW loves Peltier, so I am sure he will come back in at RB. Paterson came on and played wide right on Saturday, which is why I have put him in my XI, to preserve the width that NW likes.
This may not be the team that I would pick, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is what we see.
He will keep NML back for Sunday
I would keep Manga at right back and play Patterson wide right, he was excellent there, what a player we have
My guess
Etheridge
Right Back Peltier
Left Back Bennett
CB Morrison
CB Bamba
DM Ralls
DM Gunnar
AM Bryson
LW Hoillett
CF Ward
RW Patterson (though he may opt for Feeney for only a reason he knows as I don't get it and assuming NML isn't fit)
We are away to a team who keep the ball. He will shut up shop as he always does! Refer to 'Boro.
There is no way on earth he's not picking Peltier at right back and Morrison will always be first choice Centre Half - the only way we'll see a Bamba Manga centre half pairing is if our captain is unable to walk!
He won't leave out Manga after Saturday's performance. I think Peltier will come back in and we'll have 5 at the back. If not maybe Manga will keep his place with Peltier on the bench. I think Gunnar will come in for Bryson, and hopefully NML will be back too.
So for me it would be: Etheridge, Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett, Gunnar, Ralls, Damour, NML, Ward, Hoilett. Subs: Murphy, Peltier, Patterson, Bryson, Tomlin, Gounongbe, Feeney, Connolly.
Barnsley like Brentford play the ball on the floor so I would put Bamba in the midfield with Gunnerson, Back 4 Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett. Attacking mid Hoilett, Tomlin, Patterson and Ward up front.
