I can't think of any apart from Etheridge and Zohore initially, after that who has kicked on during his tenure? I wouldn't say that he makes players worse although he certainly doesn't refine their ability due to the way he plays. If players don't improve then things either stay the same if we're lucky or they go backwards especially if the a squad isn't improved, what are peoples thoughts.
I’m sure some more have improved but certainly nowhere the amount of players who seem to have got worse.
You only have to look at his record of signing players and not using them. I appreciate not all signings work but it’s alarming the amount of players we’ve signed in the last 4 windows who can’t get in the team or are not very good.
Joe Ralls has to be fair
Do we need all these new threads about Warnock. Could we keep them all to one or two.
Getting ridiculous. You would think we were about to be relegated the amount of bandwagon jumping going on.

Shock horror. New threads on a football forum.Quote:

In response to the OP I think he initially improves players by getting into their heads and motivating them but many revert to type when the novelty wears off as seen with Zohore.
I'm asking a genuine football question, i'm not insulting him or getting personal. I am critical of him and was during our promotion season as well. I've also given him credit when it has been deserved.Quote:

Why don’t you start a topic if you feel so strongly against the ones currently on offer?
Hardly much point in any positive threads right now, be ruined within minutes. Anyway I'm far from wound up, the thread content is fine, I just don't see why we can't all contribute to one or two longer threadsQuote:

I understand your point but we could probably do that with loads of the football content on here, it sort of rolls into one.Quote:

Fair enough.Quote:

The op wasn't being particularly critical but this one will morph into that soon enough, there's plenty of it on here already. Meh maybe I'm just being a miserable bastard.
Do you need to keep contributing to all these threads about Warnock?Quote:

Haha. Why not? What the forum is for. I'd prefer to post on fewer threads though. Not because it's particularly an arduous job to post on them but it just keeps the forum cleaner.Quote:

Content is fine, don't agree with it all but it's fine, I just think most of these threads could go onto ones that are currently open. Maybe just me.Quote:

I'd say that Morrison looked more confident under Warnock, more of a leader and more willing to exert himself. Maybe that was Warnocks man management and maybe Morrison is the perfect kind of player for Warnock to motivate.Quote:

Morisson has looked far more comfortable, and has led well.
Bamba has arguably had some of his better form over the last few years.
Peltier similarly. When they first joined, Leeds fans would have pissed themselves laughing if you had mentioned Peltier and Bamba would be in the PL with us and putting in decent performances.
Etheridge as you mention.
Hoilett maybe for consistency during the championship season.
NML? Like etheridge he has come from a lower league and may have gone on to do well anyway but without Warnock giving them that chance and paying them they quite possibly wouldn't have.
I think his strength is making the game simple, players know their job, there's a clarity to it.
Other managers go out of their way to make it complicated when the game itself is quite simple.
Yup, although Warnock brought both Dibble and Etheridge to the club so i have to give him credit.Quote:

Another case in hand is Swansea under Martinez. Players like Monk and Tate were journeyman footballers til Martinez got hold of them and they managed to go through the divisions and make very good careers for themselves.
Agree, Bamba is very good at 'mopping up' i suppose it gave Morrison confidence. Flint is poor.Quote:

Some managers may have a fantastic grasp at tactics but have no player management skills.
As good as bielsa is, he oversaw a huge collapse last season, did they bottle it, were they overworked and ran out of steam? Either way it was a hell of a drop off in performance level.
