Re: Bolton v Oxford

I wonder if we benefit financially in any way in regards to ex-City players being promoted?

It was, he continually derided him and as a sensitive character Murphy took it really badly.

Probably but he was always going to slump.

He has premier league legs but a conference league head.

I know much has been said about Warnock's man-management skills, but Murphy came across as a bit introverted, and as you say - a sensitive character.

People with such character tend not to respond well to a good 'ear-bashing'. They often, as not, go into their shells.

I thought it was well known that some players respond to a kick up the arse and some to an arm around the shoulder. Warnock's man management skills can't be that good if he can't do the latter.

If I remember correctly, Gabbidon made a comment about his attitude on one of the EJFOF podcasts a year or two ago. He said a few times he had a word with Matthews and tried help him but to no avail.
