Warnock out:.. blueblade for our new leader!

Gary Madine proved at Sheffield Utd that he is decent at this level, when he plays alongside another striker (Billy Sharp)
Zohore (mainly because hes lazy), Danny Ward Bogle have all struggled being the lone forward. Paterson did alright but often just happened to find himself in the right place due to hard work & perseverance.
We need to have 2 upfront or push Reid further up the pitch. We have an abundance of talent on the wings but with only 1 player to aim for.
Time to adopt for 3,5,2 or 4,4,2 system i think.
Warnock out:.. blueblade for our new leader!
I think one winger is enough. In my opinion Reid should be given the opportunity to show what he can do with a front 3 of Reid, Glatzel/Bogle, Mendez/Murphy/Hoilett/Whyte.

No they didn't want him.
I believe the OP is right. Wouldn't matter what striker we had, still wouldn't score (regularly) with the tactics we use.
Well, after 2.5 good seasons under Warnock it's obviously time for a mass panic after one bad result.
Madine got 3 in 16 for Sheff Utd. People need a sense of perspective and we're not going to rewrite the wheel. We also cannot play our wingers and 2 strikers, we'd end up playing a front 4.
Considering how much we spent and our budget, we came 3 points away form staying up. It wasn't a disaster. If you keep Warnock, you're keeping his football. All systems have their deficiencies. I've also seen this Cardiff side play 3-5-2 and it was not pretty and we basically played 4-4-2 on Saturday as Reid was so far forward which lead to a gaping whole in the middle of the pitch.
I agree with you about Madine. I don't think he's up to it which of course begs the question why did we end up paying £6 million for him.
Last season had some good moments and yes we had some bad luck but ultimately it was a big opportunity missed to begin to establish ourselves in the top flight - an opportunity that may not come around again for some time.
We got up though, all fees before that don't really count in my mind. We paid most of that figure as a promotion bonus and he did help get us across the line. It's a tough one because I feel we could and should have spent the money better but those players did get us over the line so I think overall it was worth it.
It was a massive opportunity missed but who knows what could have happened if Sala made it over. We had so many holes in that side even after we "strengthened" and I use that loosely, and as Bob says, we're making it harder than it looks. However, I think it's going to become harder and harder to establish yourself as the money is getting out of control.
