Thread: Rumours of Warnock coming in

  1. #1

    Rumours of Warnock coming in

    We've got 5 games left. For the record, Warnock won 2 points from his first 5 games at Aberdeen and 4 points in his first 5 games at Huddersfield. The last time Warnock won 2 of his first 5 games as manager of a side was when he took over as our manager in 2016. At Rotherham his side picked up 1 point in their first 3 games.

    Yet some reckon he's going to be the messiah.....

    You might as well put Dai Hunt in charge for the last 5 games than stick with the tinker man

    A prominent twitter account who claims to be in the know from what I can gather.

    Henry Says is not a prominent Twitter user I have met him numerous times and believe me the guy is clueless and merely posts for attention

    Prominent within the world of cardiff city i think is fair to say, even if it's 99% bollocks.

    An anonymous twitter account.

    The type who tweets stuff in a transfer window' "could be some comings and goings but lots of moving parts so it may or may not happen we shall see soon." And lots of people get excited.

    "We will definitely sign a player this window"

    Fair play, you got it spot on there.

    James has already printed out a few blank contacts, Luckily Mozza is a free agent and looking for a 3 year deal

    Vassy is still without a club after training with Bristol Rovers but then failed to sign for them after he left Bath City, down side is that he can only play 30 mins a game once a week

    Thankfully Paddy Kenny is 46 and doesn't want to play anymore

    but might be a few quid still in the game for him

    The kid in school who's dad used to be in the army and knew stuff even the government don't.

    Anyway he messaged me earlier and Warnock was having a pasty in Magor services apparently

    That's one of the sanest suggestions on here for some time.

    He's even tweeted "we will find out soon enough" in response to the replies.

    Seems to be his stock answer.

    I don't think he has got much right at all. Just makes general statements and people attach what he said before to it.

    Eg club looking to bring a striker in- can't say too much but watch this space. A few weeks later we sign kanga and everyone is like oh my God he was right!!

    Yeah anyone who thinks the atmosphere with warnock back on Saturday compared to leaving riza in charge will be the same is totally deluded.

    That's not to say warnock will definitely work as we need to win 3 of the last 5 which is a big ask. However it gives it all a lift and makes us feel we are in a race. Currently it doesn't as despite the table suggesting its tight the large majority of fans think we are down with riza.

    We don't need more confusion for the last 5 games.

    We do need direction, motivation and confidence lifting. We need a bit of stability with selection. We need to change the catalogue of mistakes at the back and the clueless approach to set pieces.

    I can see someone like Warnock injecting some positivity and confidence into the squad - as a presence around the training ground not as a replacement manager. Riza says individual players have psychologists who work with them, but there was no indication that the club or the coaching staff have actively tried to do much work with the squad as a whole to improve focus, motivation, confidence and concentration.

    The players are what they are, but if we had the best version of the squad out every game we would be all right. We don't - they blow hot and cold. Most are capable of a 7 performance or better, but then next game (or next half) fear, confusion, apathy or poor concentration throws up a 4 or a 5.

    I don't know what Riza and the coaches are capable of doing with the defence beyond selection decisions, but that is the biggest problem to solve. Work on corners, free kicks and throw ins must surely happen every week - but there is not much evidence of it on match days. A new coach to work on that for the next month - and a new face/voice on the training ground - might make the difference.
