Football-wise I think Fulham and even Huddersfield have overall better players, play better football, and look more comfortable at this level compared to us. That City are 17pts and 5 pts above these teams says so much for the way Warnock has tactically and psychologically bonded this group of players into a strong unit where the whole is greater greater than the sum of the parts.

What I didn't expect was his mis-management of our attacking selection options over the past few games. An over-reliance on Niasse, at the exclusion of fit-again and much more dangerous Zohore. The exclusion of Ward, who what little we have seen of him offers something different. The sidelining of Bobby Reid - again a player who offers something different. And the inclusion of Rhys Healey who would be slow by league 2 standards.

Maybe the omission of Murphy for not training well says how much reliance Warnock places on match preparation etc, but Healey for Murphy ? You've got to be joking.

Trouble is, next season in the Championship is going to be so hard, with a dozen strong footballing sides, this squad of players will either need a revitalized Warnock, or a complete change of direction..
