wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Just now, DevKWat said: I said exactly the same. 6 points off with 10 to go and ALL the talk from him was next season. Shocking attitude which i personally think leaked into the players. Although the players must take equal if not more blame. I think if you expect the team as a whole to keep up motivation for challenging for play-offs right now, then most or all of the blame has to lie at the shoulders of the manager. Especially given the comments he's made. But I don't think he's alone in that thinking, I agree with him to an extent, we should be looking at next season now. I think there's a great deal of value in using this time to prepare for next season too, we're not going down, we're not making the play-offs, use this time to learn as much about this group as you can and see how willing they are to play for their place in the squad next year. Now whether he's actually doing that with his selection and his changes today, I'm not so convinced. All this talk about Coulson and what he wants to try out with him and he's come on when the game's over and in a position he doesn't think he can play anyway. The talk about out-of-contract players, yet they're the ones who came on first, including Britt who seems to have all but shut down for the season. I guess we'll see in the final 5 games how much he sticks to the things he speaks of. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,403 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 At least it cements Barnsley's play-off spot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

sanddancer 1,964 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 NW should take a long, long hard look in the mirror and p**s himself laughing having conned SG into another season. Its terrible comical football.. Link to post Share on other sites

Its like he's trying to make some kind of perverse point by persisting in picking the same players, game after game, regardless of whether they perform or not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

diggerlad07 3,650 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I will be touching upon this on Monday nights BorofanTV show and it's coming from someone who has supported Warnock even recent times, but this squad is HIS SQUAD! We have been absolutely shocking in terms of performance, results and tactical decisions since January and he can't have excuses as he got the players he said he required to push us on. Personally, I think he's had too many options to know what to do with and that's really poor imo. I really worry about who we end up with in the summer and apart from Tav, Fry, Mcnair, Bola and Fisher I don't see any consistent performers who give us solid performances every week. I think we're all just hoping that the occasion of fans being back allowed in the ground and giving Warnock the send off he deserves with his retirement pushes us onto the play offs but personally I now think there is going to be a a lot of disappointed fans next season when we fail to deliver again. I like what he's done to the club at stabilizing us again after Woodgate season and giving something to get excited for a while over the course of the season within touching distance of the play offs but I am deeply concerned about next season. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

He had a worse squad than this when with us last and less money than Warnock but achieved the same. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,403 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Fuming after that second half, they had absolutely nothing about them and we've gifted another team a win. Some abysmal performances. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Changing Times 12,219 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Good game. We certainly deserved at least a point from it. Warnock is rightly annoyed at the referee who ruined the game for us. Just thought I'd get that in before the usual lunatics post the same thing. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
