When he came to the club we were all saying that we didn't have the midfield to be a passing side, we needed width and pace and a leader at the back. A new striker would have been good too. Trollope didn't seem to notice all of this. Hoilett and Bamba transformed the side. We stopped thinking we could play like Barcelona.

I would agree that Warnock brought his style, but I don't believe he implemented it without thought. He wouldn't go to a tippy tappy club like Swansea and turn them into a long ball side.
