Realistically what do you think he’ll change for the sheff u game

If the ‘foreign lads’ are not up to speed then you’d think Warnock would field a side which didn’t include them from the start..

-----------Lumley---------
Peltier--Fry--Hall--Bola
---Howson--McNair------
Tav----Crookes----Jones
----------Ikpeazu----------
 
Absolutely no idea who he will pick which pretty much sums up our problem. Stuck this on the comments page of the EG and sticking by it - we are in a bit of trouble.


I think we need to call it as we see it in front of us. Our keeper has great days but you know he has sn awful mistake on him anytime. The back four has a soft centre and teams have found us out. We used to be dull and boring under Karanka and Pulis but at least we could defend. No idea what the plan is in midfield and watching every game I don’t think the players do either. We can’t keep possession for more than a few passes. We have no consistency in selection so no team understanding. Very few show any passion for the shirt and we have become a team of journeymen and players playing for their pay cheque rather than the club. Up front we bought Uche who put himself about scored two and then was dropped. He was brought on at 89 minutes last week when we were losing 1-2 at home. Figure that one out? Jones by far our best and most imaginative players treated the same. Bottom line is it comes down to leadership. We have a manager of blame and excuses. Everything is the players or officials fault, nothing is his. The harsh truth is he is a dinosaur, a manager from a different age and time and the game has moved on and left his tactics and language way behind. He is looking at an embarrassing last season in the game with him eventually walking away as we stare down the barrel of certain relegation in May.
 
I think it should be this
Lumley
McNair Hall Fry
Howson Payero Siliki Bola
Sporar. Uche Tavernier

It won't be but I like that team. Jones can come on for Bola if need be. Crooks for Uche. Watmore for Sporar or Tav. Peltier to cover the back 3 with Bamba. Olasanya the wildcard sub.
 
You don’t say…..clever fecker
Neil Warnock doesn’t have ONE leader in his team because the like of bauser couldn’t get him who he needed
Look at Gibson not Warnock

Warnocks had success everywhere else but not at boro
Probably the only club not to listen to him and what he wants

REMEMBER. NOT FECKING ONE LEADER IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE SQUAD
All for Warnock, Grant Hall was QPR captain. Lee Peltier was Huddersfield and Leeds captain. Sol Bamba was Cardiff and Leeds captain. He’d managed Lumley before, must have been aware of his leadership qualities or otherwise.

Warnock’s brought in loads of his old players and loads of his old captains, ridiculous to suggest that Bausor somehow stopped him.

I agree the team is massively short of leadership. That’s not Bausor’s fault.
 
I don’t think Uche and Sporar can play together in a 3. Uche’s a natural battering ram number 9 and Sporar looks a natural playing off the shoulder number 9. Sporar’s not a number 10 at all. It’s awkward as they’re two players who could make a difference.

They’d be great in a 2 together, but then you have to go 4-4-2 and we’d be even more open in the middle.

Maybe 4-3-1-2? Which seems a waste, because we’ve got so many wide players. Whatever we do we have to sort out that soft centre though.

Lumley
Peltier - McNair - Fry - Bola
Tav - Howson - Siliki - Hernandez
Uche - Sporar
 
I think we need 3 in the centre of midfield not 2 so I would have tav howson siliki centrally. Cental midfield has been our achililes heel this season and needs shoring up. Tav out wide hasn't worked and his energy would be better suited centrally.

Is Hackney and Coburn available?
What about Folarin?
Lets give the lads a go - we aint heading for the play-offs with those who`ve played so far.
Might be more exciting seeing the youngsters hungry for success:unsure:

Goodness knows.

Would be happy to give a hungry youngster a start do we have any combative midfielders coming through

Bamba and Peltier were signed for the dressing room, id suggest they were solely Warnocks suggestions

We keep being told we have wonder-kids coming through the academy, then either loan them out or they just disappear into the ether.
Havent the foggiest.
Are we permitted to loan-in players short-term?
 
Watmore, Uche, Šporar

Crooks, Howson, Tav

Bola, Fry, McNair, Peltier

But I'd play McNair in midfield and Howson at RB, personally
 
Watmore is never mentioned as a possible starter these days despite being our best player last season, any chance of him coming in? He would do a much better job than Tav or Crooks on the right.

He's been bang average since what, Easter? I've not seen anything from him since then, in pre-season or any games this season to make me think he's being left out unfairly.

But the team selection seems to be throw a set of chicken bones into a frying pan with squad numbers on and that is who will play, so you never know, he might start.

If we can't defend very well, it would make more sense putting a bit more effort into closing down the opposition defence and trying to score more, rather than sitting off them and letting Keogh stroll about in front of the back four like Pirlo. While we have 30% possession at home.

Watmore is as good at that as anyone in our squad, Uche with Watmore and Sporar playing off him?
 
Banks of four ? Strachan stylee?

He looked like he struggled with all the wild balls chucked up in the air for Crookes and Ikpeazu and then everyone else looked like they struggled with him playing the ball to their feet!

Sporar and Watmore looks like it should work
