It looks like we will need to score 3 or 4 goals to win a game, and I can't see it happening in the next few games. Warnock doesn't even know what his best starting XI is, as he continues to tinker with team on a weekly basis. I'd still give him to January though, when the next loan window opens.
Yes it’s harsh, yes it’s everything that’s wrong with football etc...but you can’t let it go on indefinitely. There is obviously a point where that’s enough
Don’t like saying it, but Big Sam would sort the defence out
I think he’s out of his depth in today’s Premier League but he deserves the season.
However, if we’re not going to go forward with him next year I’d get the new man in a few months early to get him settled into the job.
Not even Big Sam could work with this squad. Warnock thought last years defence was enough to see us through into this year and he is clearly wrong.
Mozza looks like the Mozza we originally signed, very shaky, and Bamba, i thought he was a liability at times last year but this year, you worry every time the opposition goes forward.
If they're going to sack him then maybe after the Brighton game ? 2 week break after it. Not that I am advocating this by any means, don't think another manager would have us in a better position.
He’d be a good bet to take us straight back up if we did go down, partic if Murphy and co stated with us. Have today’s team played many games together? If Neil was planning to retire anyway we might aswell try other options before it’s too late, say after Xmas
I was a big supporter of the Warnock way, and i had hopes it would work this year. However we seem to be even poor at executing this strategy at premier league level. Maybe we have been forced into this formation with injury to Mendez-Laing, and Hoilet / Murphy.
Im all for given strikers a go etc, but there more chance of me scoring a goal before Madine, and as for Zohore ? he is too slow to react in the box, seems to want to take 3 touches when he hasn't got time for 1. We need am alert strike ron his toes in the box. Id rather play Reid.
Warnock sounded very downbeat in his post-match interview, which was worrying. You can see why though. The cupboard does look pretty bare. Very hard to see where a regular stream of goals will come from. I think Ward is the best of the bunch, but how many will he realistically get?
I agree with a previous post on Joe Bennett, he should be playing. I guess he could switch the keepers to see what Smithies brings, but that seems harsh on Etheridge. Damour isn't the answer, neither is Kadeem or Connolly. Based on what I've seen and even taking into account their weaknesses, I'd rather have Pilkington's graft and Tomlin's guile over Kadeem and Damour.
Absolutely everything that's wrong with football.
Worked miracles last season to get us up, he deserves the full season to at least have a go at working an even greater miracle of keeping us up.
I'm not sure what more Warnock could have done today, we lacked a bit of composure at times and the players fell asleep for their first goal. Overall we probably deserved something, but that's the league we are in where even an ordinary looking Burnley can clinically finish pretty much their own two chances.
Like with the last time we were here, our best chance of staying up is keeping the manager we came up with and hoping something clicks.
Don’t sack him
