Its not the position where you give someone 15 mins off the bench, so all or nothing. Given the way they play, taking Flint out of the firing line might be a decent shout.
Morrison and Flint have cost us too many goals this season; and haven’t made up for them at the other end. They both missed sitters tonight with questions again about their combination. They’re both big slow clumsy centre backs. I’d drop either as they’re as bad as each other but cannot see Warnock dropping Morrison. Bamba if fit has to play. I’d he does it’ll likely be Flint. Just hope he does not play all 3.
He wont drop Morro.. and to be honest, Morro and Bamba have a great partnership where Morro & Flint (imo) do not. I dont think either will be dropped, but I think if anyone it'll be Flint.
Warnock has said he’s not fit enough for first team action but Warnock often plays mind games with the press so don’t be surprised if he’s in the squad. Hoilett has allegedly injured his hamstring so that’s likely to put him out for a while. Bacuna was allegedly unwell last night.
I can definitely see Bamba playing a part in Sunday’s game. Maybe as protection for the defence into midfield? He’s done that before.
You could be right but you need legs to operate there and I can't see Bamba lasting the pace first game back. If he's fit enough to start, then a CB slot would be the one. If Warnock tries to play 3 at the back against the Jacks, they'll be all over us like a rash. We haven't got the wingbacks to go down the 3 CB route to force them back unless he took a chance on Bacuna at RB instead of Peltier. Whyte must start on the right whatever happens. As far as the left side is concerned and in the probable absence of Hoilett, Murphy has been pathetic and NML hardly any better. Maybe time to play narrow and put an extra man in midfield or play Ward out wide - at least he'll have a go.
Or even go 2 up top, Bogle or Glatzel plus Ward with the latter in a slightly wider role. Bogle would give them something different to consider with his ability to drop short of defenders, receive ball TO FEET, turning to take them in. Unlikely in view of the ball in the air philosophy but worth considering. I would have Bamba at CB as he has a much better understanding than Flint with Morrison and is quicker than Flint.
Team for Sunday is simple you put your best 11 out there and going and bamboozle the Jack's and get stuck in to them .NW hopefully knows what's at stake he needs to be brave . Lets go 4 3 3 Bamba back in, front 3 of Ward , Glatziel and Bogle unless Hoilett is fit . We need a bloody win away this season ,so let's make it Sunday against the scumsea Jack's. Up the City
I cant believe anyone would want Glatzel back in the side. We looked much better with Ward up top. Id go same midfield 3. I am worried Tomlin may be dropped for Bacuna.
Warnock does like playing 2 wide men though... He’ll never drop Peltier. But you never know with Warnock.
Looks like Bamba not being risked Sunday, Hoilett out also. Would rather see Ward or Bogle out wide than Murphy or whyte , they both get bullied of the ball too easy. Play the 3 strikers up top Neil .
