Was excited for this season with Warnock at the helm and still have some hope we can have a decent season but I really think with the way we are going as a club is it time to change manager soon and try and integrate a style that suits the players or stick with an experienced Warnock who won’t be here next year anyway? I am a massive fan of Chris Wilder and I think he would be a great fit for us and I reckon he would love to work for Gibson.

Loved Wilders Championship Sheff U team. He gets his sides playing good attacking winning football.

Decisions decisions.

I think the next 2 games are massive for Warnock personally.
 
I can't see any point in carrying on with Warnock. He's not going to be at the club next season regardless of what happens this season. It would be better to find someone who could potentially be a longer term appointment. He could use this season to figure out what needs fixing and develop a plan.

Warnock's approach is just a series of sticking plasters to cover the problems that he's created by not recruiting the right players and playing people out of position.

I can't imagine Warnock is enjoying managing at his age. Better to leave now than hang on as things spiral down.
 
Warnock's probably the only fella who will do anything with this group of players, but he needs to play to their strengths. Too much long ball on Saturday when we didn't look too bad when we kept possession. Maybe this season is a free hit while the Director of Football gets his structures and people in place and hopefully we build for the longer term.....don't forget that the only time in the last fifteen years that we have had a plan and stuck to it we ended up getting to the play offs and then promoted.

Having said all that I think Warnock will walk if he's not enjoying it and I'm not sure he will be if we are battling at the bottom, as looks possible at the moment
 
This is now his group of players and he said recently that he is happy with the squad.

He was building towards this and he should get his chance until the end of the season. I do think that if it looks like being a flop, he'll walk away early.
 
Otto, can’t agree with your first sentence, there are plenty of managers who could get a tune out of the players.

Am I the only one who gets fed up with us being in transition every damn season? To me it is a convenient label to excuse p poor performances and will not wash.

I hope Scott can install a sense of professionalism, a will to win and rid us of this small time mentality.

Why, he's an average football manager who's not done anything with them so far other than get a points total similar to Pulis (and Woodgate?) who everyone wanted out because he was a terrible football manager.

Standing at the side of a pitch looking like a geriatric Liam Gallagher and then throwing people under a bus in your press conference does not a good manager make.

That's the issue isn't it? Since he's had more opportunity to bring players in we seem to have gone backwards, starting with the January transfer window.

I suppose you can argue that some signings might not be entirely his, but he must be relatively happy with them, why stick around otherwise?

The most frustrating thing is that he seems to be overcomplicating things that don't need overcomplicating (strange formations/players out of position) and yet keeping the style of play too simple (launching it from the keeper, going man for man all over the pitch).

When he first came I liked his straightforward approach, but weirdly for a manager of his experience he seems to have lost his way a bit on that front.

As plenty have said, some of our recruitment doesn't seem to match up with Warnock's style and I do think that is a legitimate concern and might be partly why he's messing about a bit with formations. As if he feels he should be getting more out of these players than his usual game plan would allow, but he's not sure how to do it.

I wouldn't necessarily be wanting him gone just yet, but if I was Gibson I'd probably be wanting a in depth chat with Warnock to reassure myself he's happy and confident he can get us firing.
 
While not happy with Warnock, am not sure changing the manager again will achieve anything at the moment, especially as the transfer window has just closed. We are on to our fifth manager since Karanka and each time there's been a major overhaul with little effect, but to bring in another batch of players no better than what we already had. Let's reassess at Christmas?
 
Don't you think some of you are over reacting a bit? - there were a lot of changes required at Coventry with 4 players making their debuts. How many changes did Coventry have to make?

Ikpeazu's strength to me is when the ball is not on the deck which requires some long ball. Most forward balls were play through midfield or out wide particularly to Jones, but he always had 2 players on him by the time he was 40ms out. Most of out goalie kicks went toward the wings.

Aren't they playing to instruction though? Otherwise he'd be fuming, surely, as it means they're not listening. If we're playing it on the deck through midfield with Tav at the heart of it then why be so hellbent on signing big old fashioned target men? Now we have a big old fashioned target man why is the 'keeper booting out to the channels?

Also both starting elevens contained five players who signed for each club in the summer. And if we're saying Coventry didn't have to make as many changes as we did and that's partly why we lost then what was our excuse against QPR? How couldn't we beat a ramshackle Derby side when they're in absolute dire straits? We've also had Warnock telling us that Blackpool's second string is better than our second string. It is madness.
 
How on earth can you criticise the manager when the players lack the basic ability to pass the ball to each other?
Watching the way Coventry moved the ball compared to our pathetic attempts you would think we are Sunday league level.
Not the first time we have been shown up. QPR also showed us up with their ability to pass and move.
 
If we get 0 points from the next two games, which isn't out of the question, I would find it very difficult to see Warnock staying past Halloween. Fans will turn, I think they got away with no fans in the stadium massively in the second half of last season.

Imagine if there was a crowd in during the 3-0 battering from Wycombe on the last day?
