Cameron right back, Wallace left back and Lumley keeps his place.

No way Cameron is right back. Think Dom Ball will be playing there.

Bare bones.

Blimey. Joe keeps his place, Ball at right back with Kane on the Bench. Manning dropped.

Strange one really. Feels a bit of a tombola...

I feel a shoe in coming on...

Lumley owes his manager - and the rest of us - a big performance

So is warburton blaming manning for not preventing that cross rather than Lumley who dropped it?

Strange one.

Think most people expected to see Kelly back. Lumley has 9 lives it seems.

I think we could deduce from this that manning is leaving.

Not really. Manning has played pretty much every minute of every game this season - it was inevitable he'd be rested at some point over Christmas. The bigger surprise is that Eze hasn't been rested - but he will undoubtedly miss the cup game next week i suppose.

Bare bones.

Manning is no way the same player that started the season. Caught out of position constantly and his crossing rarely beats the first man .
Maybe I’m being harsh but he needs to up his game as he was excellent for the first part of the season

Defensively, that little line-up doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. But then, would any permutation of our porous backline manage that right now?

Lumley, for one, need to do some of that anger-channelling Warbs has been on about of late, ram the criticism down our throats, and show us there's a defiant keeper in there who's fit for purpose. Another game-changing howler or two from him this afternoon, and he has to be taken out (I don't mean assassinated). With the run we're been on, and the run they have, a terse 0-0 would be a result for us today in our book. (We don't do 0-0s, of course.)

4-2 to the Bluebirds it is then, with Hoilett as MoM and MW's increasingly mournful post-match demeanour to plumb new depths of repetitive melancholy!

Seems to me like a team determined not to lose. Love Manning, think we are a better team overall with him in, he's been one of our best players this year, but he's been a liability at times at the back. As with Kane.

This feels a bit like going for the nil nil and hoping Eze or Chair can spark something from nothing to sneak a win

I can't believe that Lumley has kept his place.

I really hope that Lumley is without a single error & the defence works today. Plus the strike force needs to score a few.

But on recent form we will need to score at least 3 to win, maybe more

Another defeat as I can see a number of fans calling for blood.

A remarkable day when playing Eze, BOS, Chair and Wells in the same side is 'going for a 0-0'.

Bare bones.

You've got 5 defense first players in there plus the keeper. That's more than we have had in any game this season. Maybe I should have phrased as "making clean sheet a priority"

Agree. Kane is alarmingly slow for a fullback and Manning doesn't appear to know how to close down a cross. I would take 0-0 now.

We've played 4 at the back with Cameron in front of them loads of times this season mate? This is pretty much the sort of team we've been playing every week for a while isn't it?

Bare bones.

That's a winger, a playmaker/no. 10/midfielder, another midfielder, and a single (out of form) striker by my reckoning. It's not negative, I grant you, but hardly gung-ho.

I still don't understand why, when so many of our goals conceded come through individual errors and/or failures to mark oppo players or track runners etc. that Warbs keeps talking about teamwork and 'working harder'. Am I missing something here, or does he just not do specifics?

Odd one this Jonno - I've not been hugely impressed with Kane, but the one single thing I would credit him with is having pace - he's quite quick - it's his positioning that gets him into trouble. His bursts down the wings rely heavily on him being quicker than most full backs in the division.

Bare bones.

Thanks, that's what I was saying. Not sure where I said it was gung-ho, or where anyone said we should be gung-ho - although MW's instinct is attack first.

Bare bones.
