Time for Warnock to stop making excuses

[3London]

calm down everyone! ridiculous to suggest this is the beginning of the end for warnock or that he is losing the plot!

we play with one up front and everyone moans that our striker is not scoring.. we play 4-3-3 etc and again everyone moans..its fine margins..what is blatently obvious is our squad is too small to compete.

Faurlin bearly found a team mate all afternoon, was very poor gainst Villa as well

Who played better yesterday? I can't recall anyone.

Who would you drop out of Faurlin and Derry then?

Am I missing something, He clearly changed the formation today we were promoted and started the season playing 4-2-3-1 we tore Newcastle apart, playing this, were unlucky against villa won at wolves.

Today he played 4-3-3 a totally different formation with Barton playing deep with Derry and Faurlin, Mackie and SWP further forward on the wings with HH in the middle.

Today we bypassed the midfield we actually played more like a 4-4-2 with long balls into the channels for Mackie and SWP to chase rather than play through the midfield which is our strength.

The problem with the 4-2-3-1 had been supporting the solo striker and that could have been achieved with Mackie or DJ starting in one of the wide positions.

I thought we were a lot poorer for not having Taarabt on the pitch, we struggled to keep possesion or find the pass for SWP.

If I was to criticise NW it would be for picking a formation and tactics based on the last game rather than this one.

One other point one of our biggest problem is Fitz Hall, not for his actual play but for the fact we play 10 yards deeper in defence and are less compact because of it leaving us stretched.

That fact did irritate me as well. We are to easy to stretch.

i thought Young was best of a bad bunch y'day - thought midfield was poor.... just my opinion mind...

Young lost the plot completely. Arguing with fans in ER, then mugged off twice in quick seccession. Hoilett (think it was him) made him look poor many times.

think Warnock deserves a bit more credit and certainly more time before getting comments like its the beggining of the end for him. B ollocks. Hes made us champions and has guided us to 10th in the prem. And he's had alot less time to sort his squad out due to the takeover. What did you lot expect this season? Fighting for a champions league spot? Get real and stop moaning.

Drop Derry, I thought Barton was the best out of the 3 in the centre

He was but there is a new breed of 'anti greed' type people in here who resent him earning what he is earning, but strangely say nothing about SWP and Ferdinand who will be earning roughly the same, but were tosh yesterday.

ferdinand wasnt tosh.. fitz hall was.. im not sying anton was incredible but he wasnt tosh.. Drop Derry, you can deny hes struggling.. maybe hes the weak link

Derry was playing behind Helguson yesterday, which was crazy when Buzz was on the bench.

Thats Fitz Hall, Derry needs to make way because the midfield is to compacted and we are not stretching the opposition enough

From what i hear Warnock has lost part of the dressing room already!

[swanleyhoop]

Ferdinand seemed to spend a lot of yesterday covering Hall's back.
Although I'm not a huge Gabbidon fan, I hope his return isn't too far off, as it will take some of the pressure off of Ferdinand.
As for SWP, well, there were several occasions in the first half yesterday where he went to make the run, was in a good position to get in on goal and calling for it, and was either ignored or just not spotted. Could see his frustration after 3 or 4 times.
I think he was one of the more interested players yesterday.

Buz isnt fit
