' Neil Warnock, Cardiff City's Weaknesses '
Plenty of room for improvement next season.
By Dominic Booth
Sunday 23rd April 2017
Neil Warnock lauded his team's spine after the game and was delighted to see on the TV screens his team had jumped into the Championship's top half with the point, hard earned as it was.
A top 12 finish would be just rewards for the impact Warnock has made, because it is very difficult to imagine the Bluebirds producing such a resolute backs-to-the-walls performance under Paul Trollope, or any another manager for that matter.
Fans could have rightly bemoaned the straight lines football on display at the DW Stadium, with Cardiff criminally lacking in forward threat.
Anthony Pilkington isn't a centre forward, Craig Noone and Kadeem Harris cut isolated figures on the flanks and without Kenneth Zohore there was very little in the way of attacking thrust down the centre.
Warnock accepts Cardiff have room for improvement as an attacking force and will use the summer to bolster those options. Zohore's tired legs, as much as a viral bug, kept him out of contention for a trip to Wigan.
Teenage debutant Mark Harris tried in vain to offer a step here and a touch there, but with Joe Ralls and Aron Gunnarsson shuttling back and forth from defensive midfield, there was little creativity on display.
Not even at this late stage of the season was Warnock prepared to let his fledglings fly. It is that knowledge of attacking limitations that makes Warnock set out his team in such a disciplined, organised systen.
The manager knows his squad's weaknesses and simply had no intention of dressing up his team for a party when a battle awaited.

Without Whitts there was virtually zero creativity yesterday and of course Zohore was missed.

No Whitts - no creativity, no threat.

And lying about sickness in the group, Zohore seen walking around the bay completely fine by all accounts and McGregor was also seen out and about in Cardiff.. why make an excuse up to field a weakened squad?
