The Villa game at the start of the season we played some of the best football I've seen down there in a long time and it could have been 7 or 8. We have the same players there and I know at this stage of the season it's all about winning but if we do lose I'd rather go down having a go than that shit last night.

This is where Warnock needs to earn his dough. Sort this team out now because there's no way we can win at Hull playing like that.

I am not sure we can go back to playing football! I am not even sure we have the personnel for it. If we are honest we have not played decent and consistent football for a while, very sporadically under NW. So to all of the sudden start knocking the ball around would probably kills us... Hull and Reading will pick off our misplaced passes and create chances of their own. Of course I would love us to player better football and create more chances but for the last two games we just need to be effective. I do feel we are lacking in confidence at the back and therefore defending and trying to player counter will fail so we do need to play on the front foot.
In my opinion the best way for us to win the next two games is just to be ugly. Not hoofball but certainly be hard, aggressive and look to win as many set-pieces as possible, especially with Ralls back in the side.

I agree AB, I cant see that much will change personell wise, but we have to win two games, by whatever means.
Failure to get any points from three top six teams in the last two weeks, has thrown a bloody big old rusty spanner in the works, & the thought of playing at least one of them again hardly fills me with confidence at this moment in time. The only thing that is sobering is the thought that Neil Warnock has had the experience of this situation many times before.
He, of all people, knows what is required!
