We are all agreed Warnock has done a brilliant job. Turning dispirited, disjointed, disorganised players into a well drilled, confident squad and - most importantly- turning the players into a collective force with a winning and never say die attitude.
That is some achievement and typical of the man whose ability to transform squads is legendary in this league. So what are the issues?
Firstly, the lack of spectators at the Riverside. Warnock has some idea how he is being received and acknowledged- but would have no idea the reception 20 odd thousand would afford him. If he is impressed now - boy wait till the day thousands of fans can once more get in the ground to demonstrate their appreciation and love for the guy.
Secondly, he is managing Boro at one of the worst times to secure funds for incoming players. He is having to work with the least financial support of any recent manager. Before anyone starts- this is a fact and in no way a pop at Gibbo.Frankly I am sure he would want to support Neil to a far bigger degree -if circumstances allowed.
We can all just hope that one or two can come in to help push for a play off place. This is now a realistic ambition and not some pipe dream.
