No doubt what Warnock says publicly and what he says privately to the players will be two different things, there will be no doubt that he would have ripped a number of the players a new one last night.
However, he has to take a look at himself as well. Persisted with Bamba in front of the back four, just because it worked against Leeds, who are a totally different set up, even the player himself admits that he is too old to play the position. You have to question what the players were up to over the break, as no one seemed up to match speed. Bringing Gunner on, when the manager has already stated that he was an injury doubt before going on international duty and moaning about how many minutes he played, yet goes and gambles with him, when there are decent options on the bench and now he's possibly crocked.
We needed someone to bring a different dimension to our game, perfect in my opinion to try Tomlin. Hats off to Cotteril, he completely out thought Warnock last night with his tactics and the way he nullified our front three.
On a last point, I think it's time for Warnock to have more faith in the squad, especially when the usual selections under perform so badly.
