I remember a run last season where we had a somewhat of a reputation as a tall, intimidating team. We've lost that somewhere.
We had
Bamba
Morrison
Manga
Grujic
Paterson
Zohore
Mendez-Laing
Gunnarsson
I know Mendez-Laing & Gunnarsson aren't tall but they are useful in the air.
I think if we can try and atleast try that again, our game "plan" will work alot more obv we don't have Grujic anymore so someone else instead of him. Here's what I'm saying
The last 2 games we have surrended possession more than we needed to because we lost EVERY single 50/50 I swear it seemed that way anyway.
My proposed team for this "warnock way" to work.
Etheridge
Peltier
Morrison
Bruno
Cunningham
Bamba
Arter
Ralls
Zohore
Niasse
Paterson
Bamba has been on fire lately but we're still conceding a worryingly large amount of goals, and In my opinion it's because our midfield hasn't been doing it's job properly I.E Losing 50/50's and not covering the edge of the box so allowing easy shots on our goal. Chuck Bamba, Arter & Ralls in our midfield and I think it's a solid one.. As long as Bamba keeps it simply on the ball.
Our front 3 has enough pace in Zohore & Niasse to break quickly, and if we need to lump it up imagine how many 50/50's we could win. If we're still in touching distance by the end of the game, substitutes of Mendez-Laing, Camarasa, & Gunnarsson are there if we need them. Again, I would normally play Camarasa but I feel like every other player in this team considering the gameplan would be more suitable.
I'm 100% Convinced this is our best team moving forward. But will support the manager whatever team he chooses, Morrison shouldn't have just waltz back into a winning side leaking little goals. However he's not the reason we lost our last 2 games.

That does not work in the premier league. Teams just play through you and bypass the big men.
That is exactly our problem, we dont have enough footballers.

Ive been surprised how poor our free kicks and corners have been this season. Pundits always refer to it as a strength but I fell we should be more dangerous on them generally.
Its always said we are a dirty and aggressive team but I don't feel it be honest. if anything we could be more aggressive.
