I wasnt a fan of him coming but atleast let him changes what he feels fit and judge him on that.

Warnock never gave tomlin a chance and a few others atleast hes letting them play and judging each h and everyone on what hes seeing. To go for promotion would be stupid we dont have the foundation of players to keep us there




you think he don't want promotion because it would be stupid.



Theres several fans dont want us to go for promotion! And its not about us being a mid table team they just dont wantvus to go up.!
Bet every other team would want promotion regardless of quality of team...

For me the cause of the problem is deeper than the manager it is what has been drilled into them for the last few years and that is proving difficult to change

Smithies in Etheridge out for starters will help with building play from the back and distribution to our attacking players. I can’t see how he can persevere with Etheridge


By saying they are great players when they are not makes a rod for his own back. If he ends up selling them then he looks like an idiot selling such "great" players and if he keeps on picking them then the team will just stagnate like it's doing at the moment.

Most of the Warnock signings have been woeful.
Harris knows it.
I find it difficult to blame Neil.
It will propably take 2 maybe 3 transfer windows to sort out.
Murphy and Reid were bought to spearhead our return to the Premier league..
That has worked out well.

It needs freshening up - but until he has that opportunity he will have to grind out results

NW when he came in he was fortunate enough to bring in four players out of contract outside of the transfer window which gave the squad an immediate lift.

We have paid the price for poor transfer windows over the last few seasons when we could have pushed on with quality and not quantity and it will take time to overhaul the squad

Why o why are we so slow out of the blocks,teams like Milwall we should be busting a gut to get at them from the off.
Glatzel couldnt win a header,it just wasn’t working forTomlin and Misplaced passes from Pack made up a poor first half.It got better after the break with Tomlin testing the keeper and a little bit of pressure.
Get a goal and let them straight back in.Just not good enough

I counted 6 blunders by Pack in the first 30 minutes. If we are ever going to challenge in this division we need a class midfielder, preferably two as Bacuna is inconsistent. Our defence looks good, we have class wingers but down the middle including centre forward we look average.

We have had poor transfers now for years and years

I find it difficult to blame Harris too much. He inherited a bunch of players who were for some reason underperforming and has not really improved things much but we are no worse either. Doubt if anyone could have done much better with the players we have got.

The fact of the matter is Warnocks dealing on the transfer market has been poor in the last couple of seasons. The players he signed looked good on paper but have underperformed. We will need a clear out over a few transer Windows to improve matters. Trouble is Warnock has spent all the dosh and we have the Sala thing hanging over us. Maybe we will just have to accecpt we are going to have a couple of indifferent seasons starting with this season.

Harris has lost one game and hasn’t signed a single one of our squad, yet the knives are already out for him. It beggars belief! Give him a chance ffs
Warnocks transfer dealings last summer was shambolic and the way Bobby Reid left here pretty much summed it up. Not many managers would have done better with the squad Warnock left here.

Can't see how Harris can be blamed. What the last few games have highlighted for me is just how poor so many of our players are.

We are paying the price for numerous poor windows and paying way way more money than we should have for players who will not make a top half of the championship side any better.

Pack, Bacuna, Flint, Glatzel, Madine simply not good enough. I don't think one of them has any resale value whatsoever.

How Warnock can think he had assembled a top two squad is beyond my comprehension.

I don't blame Harris, it's the dreadful signings that Warnock made that have created this very average group of players.

We always blame the previous managers at Cardiff City, but at the time everyone liked these players and many played in the Premier League for us and won promotion for us.

Completely agree. Though grateful to Warnock for what he delivered, he should carry blame for where we now are as his acquisitions are simply not good enough.

I've said it would be stupid to go for promotion

We dont have any kind of foundation in the club and players to stay there.

Ok it's stupid to try for promotion so what do the players play for? :roll: forget about no foundation so the players play out boring draws for rest season so they dont get promotion? Sounds like good plan
