I completely accept that Warnock had a decision to make because Peltier was injured 2 weeks ago, but then you put Bacuna there, that's his position (yes as well as midfield) but still he's a right back.
To throw Morrison into a side that has won back to back victories and only conceded 1 goal in both of those games was questionable. So maybe I have/had my doubts about Neil's selections...
Having said that I don't think Morrison has had a bad game since he's come back. I mean, today for example we got done by slick play and a massive mistake my sol Bamba.
Sol Bamba is the guy who week after week makes massive mistake after massive mistake yet because he scores the odd goal everyone treats him like a warrior, like he's undropable.
I accept that at 2-0 Wolves may have stepped back a little bit but I thought when Bruno came on to replace Bamba today, we looked alot more solid, and to my mind there was only really broke our defence once but I'm fairly sure our full backs were forward so it was practically 3 on 2.
I don't think anyone should be used as a scapegoat, but for those who are, surely you must point the finger at Bamba more than Morrison...
Anyway, I think our manager has lost the dressing room in some aspects. I believe he can bring it back with a bit of luck on the pitch and a few things such as touches, 50/50's and decisions going our way, but at this moment in time, I don't see anyone fighting for Warnock, alot of the time (especially last week) I saw alot of fighting WITH warnock on the touchline. I genuinely saw a load of tempered exchanges where a few players were practically telling Warnock "I don't agree with you so no, I'm not going to do what you've asked me to" in so many words![]()
Our tactics too, when we go 2-0 down like today, or last week, or the week before etc. We don't seem to have a gameplan to "press" our opponents, it's as if we just stick to our "so called" defensive shape and invite the pressure just being patient. I don't see any urgency in pressing, closing down in numbers etc trying to win the ball back when we're losing a game. Everyone is flat footed and shouting at each other, and most of the time frustrated that they've not been told to go out of their shape. Why are we keeping our shape when we're 2-0 down for the last 20 minutes today. Absolutely baffles me.
Again, I stress, none of our players have done anything wrong. I truly believe our tactical part of our game needs a massive overlook. And no, that's not a call for a new manager. I want Warnock to say, and give him chance to sort out this mess.

It worked in the championship, but to carry on doing it at this level is painfully predictable
