As an aside can I just say where has Thompson come from ? The way he's slotted into the midfield like he has been there all season in 2 of the hardest games of the season is seriously impressive. One of the things that I really really like about him is he's consistently moving to provide the passer an option.

We had Stretton missing so it's evens,

At this point I feel like we should tie his hands behind his back or something because the worse the situation gets the better he seems to manage.

You might be right when it comes to Lawrence and Morrison. They both have the ability to produce something special but decision making can be a fault with both of them leading to wasted positions.
See you say Byrne crosses better but I'm not convinced just because a lot of the crosses Byrne produces tend to be easy to defend against and that's the majority of his output from an attacking sense. If we had a truly dominant centre forward in the box who was a goal threat with any ball then I could see how Byrne would be effective (it's why he racked up so many assists for Wigan). But as it stands Byrne often I feel proves too ineffectual for the amount of attacking license he's given. Whereas Festy looks an absolute nightmare to defend against at times with his dribbling ability, his pace and his physicality all of which are often made more dangerous coming from right back in this system because of where he picks the ball up. Because his running ability when Festy crosses it's often coming from far more dangerous positions because it's closer to the box with players taken out of the game. 
Overall I just think we looked to have a good balance on that right side between Knight, Ebosele and Thompson and that it's something to work on.

Or he's just crap. He's a poor keeper at this level now.

I am with you on that one. I am hoping Thompson keeps his place.
 
I’m not sure Lawrence and Morrison on together is good for the balance of the team. We need Either Or for a game changing moment. 
Heppy for Byrne and Festy to fight it out. Byrne crosses better and makes great runs. Festy scares the bejaysus out of defences when he runs at them with the ball

Honestly after Bournemouth why bring back Byrne or Morrison ? Neither of them has been particularly performing well as of late.

Oh I agree completely, I just didn't underline that part as much as I perhaps should have done.

It’s not so much this, more that neither Ebosele nor Thompson deserve to be dropped after their excellent performances against Bournemouth.

That line up deserves another shot and I hope even if they get beat tonight that we won't use it as an excuse to swap Festy from RB or Thompson from midfield in the next game. Against Bournemouth both the midfield 3 and the combination of Festy, Thompson and Knight on the right looked really promising and something to work with.

I hope so but to be honest Davies has struggled against Mitrovic every time they've faced each other (I mean he isn't the only one there).
