Ethridge stays.
Bamba needs to drop to the bench and Manga back as a central defender with Morrison. Bamba a is out of his league imo
Bennet back in is a cert, thought he looked quality and was improving the last few games he played.
Right back then Jaz has to cover until pelts is back, and have Patterson covering Jaz if needed (more on Paterson to follow)
Even though he went missing today I would have Ralls partner Camerasa in the middle. With demour and gunner as back up.
Hoilette and Murphy on the wings, with NML as back up when fit and Harris as back up in the meantime.
I would play Reed and Ward upfront for a good run of games as impressed with both their industry in the games they have played so far. Then whoever is firing in training as back up out of zohare and madine.
Tactics, stop using Morrison for the long throwing as he is the one that should be in the middle on the end of that type of throw.
Ralls should be breaking play up as much as possible and he and the 4 defenders should get the ball to camarasa when ever possible so that he can distribute to the guys going forward, when under the cosh camarasa should break up play along with ralls and distribute to reed to create.
Patterson was a right sided defender for years, Warnock said last year he can’t defend so spent most of last season in various attacking roles, he is now getting shown up in the premier league, revert him back to the right back role but tell him to be more disciplined in his defensive duties, I would rather see pilks used in attack over Patterson as he is more composed.
Stop the chopping and changing (barring injury’s of course) and stick to a plan that fits what we have with the players that we got in their right positions.
Yes we do need to hit teams on the break and whilst I agree with the direct style of play with this teams Personel surely it doesn’t have to all be long ball ? Just look at the goal today ! Start passing forward directly on the floor, sometimes.
As for Warnock he must know it can’t carry on as it is, and surely knows he needs to reevaluate and stick to something like above, no room for sentiment it’s his own reputation of his top tier pedigree now. Stick with him if he lays out a blueprint for success but stop the changing around and play people in the right positions.
As for loads of people in and around the club saying it’s ok if we go down as we have a great chance of coming back up in my opinion is people living in cloud cuckoo land and are not being realistic to how tough it is down there, let’s really give the premiership a go whilst we have a chance.
Anyway that’s my two pennith worth.

I'd happily give that a shot. Especially putting Bruno in as regular centre half and dropping Zohore.

Never understood the idea that if we get relegated we have a great chance of coming back up with the players we have.
Firstly, our better performing players in the Premier League will either go back to their parent clubs or will be looking to stay in the Premier League with other teams.
Secondly you only need to look at Stoke, Villa, Derby etc to see how difficult it can be to get out of the Championship - we tried for long enough ourselves to know how difficult it is.
West Ham and Newcastle went straight back up but they kept their Premier League quality players when they went down - we would be relegated with a team of almost totally Championship quality players.
And if we do get promoted again we would be going up with a squad of players who have already proven that they are not good enough to survive in the Premier League.
And would we then start spending the millions needed to have a fighting chance of staying up or would we be approaching things in the same way we are this season?
