Has signed - fantastic news- I am really confused about how we will line up. NW says we will be flexible in his formations but I expect the default system to be 4231. Warnock really likes a back 4 as history shows but we have the players to play 3 at the back because of our attack minded full backs. With Bruno signing, this leaves a dilemma for Morrisson, which in itself means a dilemma for the captaincy. But we need all our players like Morrisson, Connolly and Peltier - remember Warnock really likes these players as well - if Bruno and Bamba play in African nations cup competition and matches. However, above all this is developing into a healthy squad and he is the sort of manager who has the skills and personality to keep everyone happy and buzzing. I expect another central midfielder, winger and striker to arrive but pending these I expect the following line up at present.

I don't think there is AFCON this season. 4-2-3-1 with
Etheridge
Paterson
Manga
Bamba
Bennet
Gunnarson
New holding player (would like O'Keefe)
Hoilett
New number 10
Ward
Zohore

He loves Morrison, I think he may partner Manga with Bamba in front as protection, building from the back, Warnock likes a clean sheet, and that would make us hard to beat, with our strong spine and pace and work rate up front ??
It will certainly be interesting !!!

Morrison will be in the starting 11 and rightly so, on the other hand Ralls won't, one of Warnocks 3 to come will without doubt will be a midfield general. If not I will be mega surprised, been crying out for this type player for years.

Really? Morrison continuously loses his man through his lapses in concentration. The number of goals we conceded from crosses last season where Morrison lost his man or got beaten in the air was ridiculous! His distribution is poor and any attacker with average pace and dribbling ability can twist him and turn him inside out. Helder Costa dipping a shoulder and literally walking past him for Wolves' third goal was embarrassing. If Morrison is a permanent fixture in our team this season, we will continue to concede goals and we won't achieve anything.
I agree with you about us needing a midfield general though.

under Warnock we were conceding 1.2 goals per game..thats less than 3 of the play off clubs.

Remember against villa last season he played sol as a holding midfielder and grealish didn't get a kick. This is another option which he may use. Horses for courses. If we don't know from week to week how will the opposing managers.

Wish someone had given him kick
seriously though think these days formations change weekly to suit opposition so need the personnel.
Keeping the Faith since '74.

Manga Morrison with bamba just in front for me. As per villa. There you have players that compliment each other perfectly and can play it out from the back.
