I also think that the two managers since prefer a direct style too.

We do have the choice to sign other players too.
When a manager signs new players and still plays the same way you do realise he has the option to change it up a bit? Or is it just the fact we employ route one managers who sign players to play that style?
But i) we are now on a more limited budget and ii) are using that to sign players Warnock wouldn't have signed that summer.

We've gone from an XI which has 3/4 players comfortable on the ball to an XI where 4 aren't. Now those 4 are in positions responsible for getting the ball down and initiating moves so it hasn't happened yet, and manager's have been half-hearted in pushing change in style, but not until contract renewals this year and summer window before next year can you say the manager is the main reason we aren't playing football.

Note, I said main reason because obviously change in manager will be needed to kick on with style change on the pitch.
