Not renewing next season, and went today hoping to see Warnock blood some youngsters.
Lambert on the bench.
Whittingham plays (no contract signed).
Manga plays (no contract signed).
Absolutely nothing riding on the game today, and most people seemed to be talking about their upcoming holidays and plans for Easter than the stuff on show.
Decided that, if we're not going to see some kids given a chance, then there is nothing of interest to drag me there for the next few games.
Which kids would you have played?
Not been since selling Toshack etc..:
But we did win.:thumbup:Quote:

I thought most of the players Slade could've played have since been transferred or are out on loan. The promising youngsters we have now are only just getting used to the DVP team, so circumstances are different.
I had no interest in going today.
When Warnock said he could barely be arsed to get out of out bed after I watched that shite versus Fulham in the FA Cup at 11am or whatever.
Chances are they didn't play because they aren't good enough. If you want to watch youngsters there was a game on at half time. Do people think that sticking them in for a 2 games at the end of the season is going to determine whether they have a good career or not?
They get seen every day in training they can play when they are good enough chances are 1 might be but they should have to deserve a spot in the team Ralls was plugging away for years to do that.
We've been stuck mid table for some time if you start throwing team of kids out there then everyone can just switch off for the reSt of the season
Feck me, we've got some fair weather fans amongst us
NOT GOOD ENOUGH:facepalm: We will never know unless we give them a chance. Warnock is a dinosaur.Quote:

Bluebirdman Of Alcathays is correct with his reasoning as to why it's different circumstances from two years ago under Slade, but, as mentioned above, I'll still find it disappointing if Warnock keeps on picking the sort of squads he did yesterday - there is an opportunity to at least get one or two of our youngsters who haven't made the first team squad the chance to experience what it entails.
However, speaking as a fairly endangered species on here (i.e someone who goes to home first team games and still posts on this board about City on a pretty regular basis) and a member of a truly endangered species (i.e. someone who posts on here who goes to most home games at Under 23 and Under 18 levels), I can't say that there is anyone (including Mark Harris) whose performances consistently suggest they would be able to cope with first team football at the moment - that's not meant as a criticism of many who have played for the Under 23s in the second half of the season, because they are only just coming to terms with that having spent nearly all of the time playing for the youth team until then.
Yes , that's the chap .Quote:

Unlike Slade who has obviously gone on to an illustrious career in football , I believe Trollope is now plying his wares in a place called Brighton . I believe he is coaching there , if I get time I might google them to see which league they play in ...
To be honest- I don't care.
I just want to see my team play well and they did today, as they have done for most of the past 4 months.
Also Slade has gone and it really doesn't matter what he did. I thought many fans were unfair to him, but Warnock is a proven winner and has improved us so much since he's been here that I'm really looking forward to next season now and also enjoying most games again and Happy that we have a manager who can motivate players

Despite me risking like I'm copying off Bob, Bluebirdman of Alcathays hits the nail right on the head.
There has been sweeping changes through the academy that prove to me that Warnock is very much interested in the future of our club.
I learned only yesterday about sone more releases of players who were thought to be promising but haven't pushed on to the next level.
The difference is that we had players under Slade in their early 20s who were just stagnating and were signing new contracts.
Under Warnock, all these players have now been moved on and we have a bunch of 17 year old playing at u23 level and a bunch of 15 year olds playing at u18 level.
If you want to know more about Warnock's desire and vision for the whole club not just the first team then listen to his pre match press conference before on Friday where he answers a lot of these questions.
By the way, i watched the u18s (or should i say u16s) yesterday and it was a highly entertaining 4-4 draw against Forest.
Dont't be silly Jimmy, how else will she get any attention other than posing silly fishing posts on here.Quote:

I think NW probably wanted to get the points on the board against a decent Brentford side. Playing youngsters is something we all want to see but webalso want to be ending the season in the top half of the table so we still need the points. It wasn't until this weekend that we were mathematically safe.
He has done OK at playing the youngsters but now we are safe I think we will see some more
Always a funny time of the season though
