We actually started the game last night with three centre backs (Peltier, Manga, Morrison) with Paterson and Traore as wing backs but had to change it quite quickly when Ward went off and Paterson went central. I was a bit mystified by the changes to start with but anyway it worked ok and Warnock obviously knows what he is doing. I think he will change the team as we go along to suit the opposition.
