Morrison coming back will help. Him and Bamba to team up again with Manga dropped IMO.
Not sure what he will do with the keeper position. Camp played yesterday. Murphy has done nothing wrong.
I don't rate any of our fit full backs. Bennett was destroyed by Fulham. Paterson is not a full back. Neither is Manga. Richards is an enigma.
Ass for our forwards, until and unless there is a supply of balls to Zahore to run onto on his left hand side, he's not going to score. Healey is a trier and has some nice touches but he has had enough game time now to show he can score at this level. Bogle is a mystery to me.
Our central midfield is as weak as I can ever recall. No Billy Ronson type snapping away and stealing possession. No Buchanan or Kavanagh type charging forward and scoring. No McPhail type to feed through balls. Our central midfield just do not score goals like seemingly every other championship team.
Harris' continuing injury is a blow as he would have been perfect to come in for a jaded Hoilett and NML.
So back to the post subject, with our deficiencies so publicly highlighted in the xmas disaster period, in an ideal world, a left back, a pair of central midfielders, a winger and a goal scorer are needed. It is up to Warnock to find them but if he cannot then rather than get journeymen like Halford and Bryson, he needs to either play some of the DVP squad (Mark Harris eg) and/or get the team that got us to the top playing again like they did.
