I hope that NW will pick a strong team again, not just because of the big tie in the next round, but to try and rebuild a winning feeling after last Saturday. I’d like to see us try and go out and get the game won, then make changes.
Etheridge
Manga Morrison Bamba Richards
Paterson Damour
NML Tomlin Wildschut
Zohore
Unless they're injured again (surely not) Healey and Bogle should be fresh for Mansfield.
Tomlin and Bogle seem to work well together. But does Ken need another game (in place of training) to get his fitness up?
Central midfield options are still very limited - so will Warnock go with Paterson again? He is brilliant as an attacker, but wasn't tested on Saturday in his main role in that formation. He said himself he 'isn't the best' in the middle of the park, but there may not be many choices. Ralls and Damour are the only fit central mid specialists.
Do any of the u23s get a look in this time? probably not if you take Warnock's last interview at face value. But it would be good to see a couple of them on the bench.
I'd play Ralls due to the form he was in on Saturday. Same with Richards, maybe instead of Bennett. Patterson at right back with 2 from Manga, Morrison and Bamba in the middle. Zohore up front. Maybe give Feeney a run as what's the point of extending his loan if he's not starting any games (instead of NML), Hoilett, Damour too. I bet Tomlin won't play!
We could have Bogle and Healey on the bench if they are fit, with Bennett, one of the centre backs, Pilkington , Murphy, NML and Halford.
We'll find out about 7pm tomorrow.
I suspect hints have been dropped toff Warnock from on high to play a strong team as a certain person from Malaysia would like to rub shoulders with Premier league big guns again.
Expect Just a couple of changes, Tomlin, Feeney to start.
Same side , except keeper , score a few , bring on Tomlin , Bogle , Healey for a run out .
The weather forecast looks grim tomorrow.
'Soccer Souls' bless them forecasting Warnock will ring the changes again feeling this 4-4-1-1 lineup will be good enough:

I tend to agree
