Why Fammy over Chris Martin? Just the sheer volume of games in close succession, means DH is rotating players?
'Chris Martin is a doubt for the game however and Famara Diedhiou could earn a recall to the Bristol City side'
Against a wiley old fox like Warnock, I would start with Brunt if he's fit. That extra nous and experience in midfield could be crucial against Boro imo.

Carrying a knock from Saturday, having said that why Diedhiou over Semyeno?, the little I have seen of Diedhiou he doesn't look interested to me and again saying all of that Mcboatface is usually wrong anyway.
Should S/C holders be receiving a refund for tonight’s game, for the first time it hasn’t appeared in my account .
If Diedhou wants to prove to us that he is worthy of consideration for more regular selection then tonight is his chance to show us the goods. I feel that he misses too many chances and quite often looks totally disinterested in being out there. Come on Fammy prove me wrong and pick your shooting boots out of the bag to show Dame Nellie we mean business.
Good old Gregor Mcboatface, proves once more, he is not in the loop, the way that local sports journo's should be.
Our passing is worse than parks standard, absolutely shocking. Like with the first half at Barnsley, we are being out muscled in midfield, Weimann and Paterson both look weak, Paterson is again for me mainly a passenger, I think we need Brunt to give Bakinson some badly needed back up in midfield.
What has been the main difference this season for us is that we have competed well in midfield for a change and that needs to happen in the 2nd half, we look as weak as we were last season, so far.
