Good players, wrong manager

Some good players but squad is really short in some areas as well. Unbalanced is the word i would use to describe the squad.
 
Unbalanced if you keep playing Howson. Siliki not quite fit and Crooks good on the ball but off it, doesnt really look like he knows what to do
 
Agree with this wholeheartedly, in the past we always had absolutely garbage footballers but you can see it's different now, we have some good footballers who want to go and create but the manager doesn't suit them.
 
Not having any left back cover is ridiculous
Waiting til January will cost us.

Can't see Warnock masterminding a promotion out of this anyway. There isn't the same collective backs against the wall, us against the odds attitude that he seemingly needs.

I like Warnock and I'd love it to work and we're an aggressive team that turns the screw and teams hate playing us but it doesn't feel like that.
 
Simple as that. Could accomplish something with these players. Wont with Warnock in charge. Over rated performance at Forrest back to type today.
I agree, I don't think NW is able to get the best of this group of players, people will say it's early days etc and they will keep saying, bit like last season when we had people saying we would make the playoffs, with 10 games to go, despite what we were seeing in front of us, their calculations were simple win this many, we will get this many points despite what most people could see from the performances it wasn't good enough and there was no indication that anything would change and it didn't. This feels the same now.

We let teams dictate the pace of the game and we seem to amble around with no real shape.

Don't understand why one foreign signing (Payero) needs time to bed in and not up to speed etc, which is also echoed by a number of people on here despite a coupe of cameo appearances and yet another (Siliki) comes straight in stays in despite clearly being off the pace whilst playing the majority of the time.

Don't understand why our best and most effective player so far (Jones) can't get in the team.

I've never liked NW approach to football and nothing I've seen whilst managing us has changed my mind and I don't believe he is able to get the best out of the players we have, their abilities and potential don't dovetail with his approach to football.

The good players we do have don’t look like they believe in whatever it is they are being told to do, or eachother. It‘s got that kind of inevitable feel to it for me, where the management has run its course and the players have stopped believing in the project. Warnock needed this squad last season. I think it’s come too late for him
 
The squad is unbalanced, we have a lot of attacking options but no cover at the back. So it's no surprise that we look dangerous moving forward but always look vulnerable when other teams come at us.

We can't fix that with a new manager because it's not a tactical problem.

Absolutely agree. You can see on an individual level the players are good enough but it’s just not clicking so far and I’m becoming increasingly convinced that it isn’t going to under Warnock.
