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.
I can't agree with that. Take Bamba out and we can cope, lose Morrison and all hell breaks loose. I rate Bamba and think he's brilliant but we need Ralls, Gunnar, Morrison and Hoilett more. That being said, he's one of my all time favourite players already.
