Thread: Our comeback record under Warnock

    Our comeback record under Warnock

    It's got to be the best in the league now.
    For me it shows he can motivate a team and that there is a good spirit about the squad.

    Probably more wins from behind than the whole of the Dave Jones era

    Re: Our comeback record under Warnock

    For me Warnock gives his teams purpose and belief allied with organisation.
    He has his critics regarding the style or lack of but he is a man who normally comes in to difficult situations and tends to turn them around.
    He certainly has given the City a lift and you can see that there is the basis for a team that can challenge for the play off positions next year, subject to some decent transfer deals.
    Before he came here I used to get a fair amount of grief on here for standing up for him but hopefully most will now agree that , at this level, he is one of the most astute operators around.

    I think Warnock is an amazing motivating character. I do get a little annoyed with some of his tactics and substitutions however. Hoilett looked spent and should have brought on someone to be able to close down.

    What's the point of having Lambert on the bench if we're not going to use him

    Best in the Championship.

    It was the fifth time the Bluebirds have secured victory having fallen behind in a league game under the Yorkshireman and the sixth occasion in which they've achieved the feat this season.

    A Rickie Lambert brace saw Cardiff come from a goal down to beat Rotherham at the New York Stadium under Paul Trollope while Warnock has overseen his side come from behind to claim victories against Wolves, Bristol City, Derby County, Ipswich Town and now Brentford.

    And Cardiff's tally of six comeback victories is the most of any side in the Championship this season.

    Nottingham Forest and promotion-chasing Fulham have both managed it four times while a host of clubs including high-flying Brighton and Sheffield Wednesday have done it on three occasions.

    Makes you wonder what this squad might have achieved if Neil Warnock had been manager at the beginning of the season instead of Trollope.

    If we work out a points per game average, we'd have 64 points had Warnock started the season with us.

    Of course, that's a merely mathematical calculation, which doesn't take into account the awful start we made and the impact that undoubtedly had on the start of Warnock's reign in charge.

    Under Trollope we won 8 points from 11 games (0.73 average)
    Until the new year, we won 16 points from 12 games (1.33 average) under Warnock, nearly double that of Trollope, though barely mid table form.
    Since the turn of the year we've won 31 points from 18 games (1.72 average). That's playoff form, would give 79 points at the end of the season.

    In a league table of games played in 2017, only Brighton and Newcastle have won more points than Cardiff. Huddersfield have also won 31, Leeds 30 with both playing less games, but there's no doubts that we've been one of the division's best since the new year.
