We battered Villa on Saturday with Warnock's main signings (Ward, Tomlin, and to a certain extent Manga) sat on the bench.
Agree on the discipline side of the holding role, that's essential. Thought he was fairly disciplined in his forward role, wasn't haring around like a headless chicken - I did wonder when he signed if he'd be a replacement for Gunnarsson tbh.

What I like about what Warnock has done is the squad has a lot of balance, has a lot of scope to play different ways.
