Have we found a decent team. Will he change it.

We played really well today IMHO. The signs have been there in the last couple of games although neither have been great. So we have a team that has been forced upon Warnock given the injuries we have had.

Wil he change things as and when plyers come back. He has already spoken about getting Howson back in midfield while I think he is playing better where he is. Add to that Payero and Crooks have been playing really well in last couple of games.

Peltier had a good game tonight.

Where if anywhere should the changes come.
I agree entirely.
Its the fact Warnock has had his hands tied because "key" (?!) players have been out.
Leave the lads as they are and put returning players on the bench.
No one has the right to walk into a winning team - no matter who they are.
 
Not sure how Howson gets in any more when everyone is fit. And Warnock has said many times he thinks Paddy is best as a Centre back but I think he'll play him sat in front of a back 4.

With everyone fit I think he plays a defence of Dijksteel, Fry, Bamba and Bola. Paddy sitting in front with Crooks and Payero in the middle then pick 2 from Uche/Tav/Watmore/Hernandez/Jones supporting Sporar.

Payero and Sporar are the key to it all linking up, 2 very talented players we're lucky to have.
That is what I feel our strongest line up would be too.
 
Sporar, Payero and Crooks pick themselves. They are absolute must plays and where they currently are.

Howson has been fabulous at right back and is not the same player in midfield. He deserves to stay in position.
Bamba and McNair have been outstanding together and three clean sheets in a row deserves continuity. Fry should definitely not come straight back in unless there is injury, or a tactical one off move to a three for a particular match.
Peltier has done well, but I would bring Bola back, just because I think he is an outstanding player with massive potential.
I'd play Watmore ahead of Ikpeazu personally, but either are excellent off the bench options.
I'd play Tav, but I think he is capable of far more than he is currently delivering.

I'm less upbeat about Hernandez and with Ameobi being the invisible man, I would stick with Jones, or even play Watmore wide to complete the team.
 
No way, Fry should start if fit, he is one of the best defenders in the league. Yes we have had clean sheets without him but against better strikers I am sure we would have conceded a lot
 
Warnock probably will change the team because that's what he seems to do.

I hope he has them doing shooting practice though. Some of those efforts were atrocious yesterday. Tavernier seems to want to leather it at every single opportunity, and most of the time they endanger lives in row Z. Just get it between the posts and below the bar and see what happens.

Watching that Everton v Watford game yesterday, it was apparent just how easy it is to score when you keep it low and a couple of yards in from the post.

I like Fry, but he hasn't played well this season, so why should he come straight back in?
Its a moot point anyway as he is not ready, which saves Warnock a difficult chat.
 
Not sure why people have Tav as a must start... His output is awful for a so called attack minded player... One goal and one assist!

I'm not sure what it is for the calendar year but I bet it isn't much better.

Crooks, Sporar and Watmore are more important in my eyes.
 
I'd like to see Bola as a left wing back.

Possibly Djksteel or Fry for Peltier.

Djkesteel is the only one who could be back for Saturday.

Tab stretches teams with his ability to run at teams so important player I believe but his final decision making in front of the goal is woefully poor and needs to improve
If it did premier league teams would come knocking
 
Leave it as it is, except for Bola in for Peltier.

Please don't disrupt Bamba/McNair and Payero/Crooks if at all possible, please don't put Howson/McNair back into midfield.

Short version: what everyone else has said.
I agree apart from Peltier, hes part of the defence that have kept 3 cleansheets on the bounce, for me NW sticks wiithvthe same team until injuries, suspension , lack of form rears its head
