Bolton v Oxford

[Bluebirdman Of Alcathays]

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.
