ph. 54 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 10 minutes ago, Will said: Warnock signed a player to play ahead of him and was going to send him out on loan. Jones got a chance because of a freak set of circumstances, not because of anything Warnock did. Actually didn't he get his chance on the left under Warnock? Ameobi is meant to play on the right wasn't it Link to post Share on other sites

We had no fit left back and he still sent Coulson out. He was rightly criticised for that. NW praised Jones a number of times and despite the “freak set of circumstances” he did not need to put Jones in. He had other people like Howson he could have put there. Warnock deserves credit for giving Jones a chance and Wilder deserves credit for taking Jones game to the next level and above. Levels I dont think NW could have taken him to Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,371 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Jones is the one that deserves credit. He came off the bench after 71 minutes in a game we were losing and completely changed it. If he'd done nothing in that match, he might well have faded in to the background again. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,678 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Feel like some people are desperately trying to give Neil Warnock credit to give the appearance that they weren't wrong about his desperate mismanagement of this squad. I believe we were averaging 1.1 points per game under him, with the exact same squad were now near the automatics and earning around double the points per game. Warnock was a bad manager for us, in every sense. I know people want to give credit for his keeping us up and people liked him for his comedy routine, but he just failed as a manager for us. Anyone with any kind of decent experience could have kept that squad up, it was woodgates mismanagement that put is in the position we were in. Just because he was better than woody doesn't make him good. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So by your logic are you saying certain managers don't deserve credit for certain achievements because other managers of similar ilk could POSSIBLY do the same thing?

I thank Warnock for keeping us up that season but I reckon I probably could have kept them up too From then on it was a disaster imho Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,438 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 If We'd have brought Wilder in last summer, how many more points would we have taken and how much less deadwood would we be trying to shift? Link to post Share on other sites

Half the deadwood we are trying or have shifted look to be Scott’s signings (Onel and JLS) whilst Browne was here before Warnock. Link to post Share on other sites

estonpidge 1,438 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) @GrimsbyBoro would we have signed Onel & JLS, Ikpe' Pelts, etc I very much doubt it, would we have been a bigger pull to others I think it's almost certainly yes. Link to post Share on other sites

Youngy228 1,444 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 That was what Warnock said but as time went on the less I started believing. Both him and Pulis painted this picture of being honest and open with the media - I didn't buy into it. Warnock contradicted himself on many occasions and by the end of both tenures they were saying things to make themselves look better. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
