ŴARNOCK STYLE TEAM

For all those that rubbished a warnock style team, we just got kicked in the teeth by one.

Aggresive pressed big throw ins harranged the keeper on corners free kicks throw ins, it was all there to see, but also scored from open play,
murphy has not coped with aggressive sides ,and I said this before the game today I hope he has learned from plymouth,but he has not, or stockport big physical sides he has no answer. Moving the ball from left to right did not phase them at all, we were going knowhere ,as soon as a ball came anywhere near there box, it was cleared sadly no plan B from bbm with this style of play.

Let's just hope that Skubala isn't as corrupt as Crooked Neil.

I'm sure he isn't.

That style of football will not work over a full season at a higher level as we have seen from experience, lincoln will be In for a shock in the championship. Yes it can work now and again like today and obviously has proved effective in league 1 for them. The championship has moved on from when warnock was in charge with 99% of teams now playing ‘’football’’ And our style will be more suited there if we go up.

I don't think this sqaud can counter a good physical team. Lincoln are Warnockesq in style and bloody good at it.

But let's be honest. BBM didn't know what he had when he started; a lot of players left, leaving talented kids and a few experienced pros we either didn't want to leave or nobody wanted them.

The sqaud is highly skilled but underpowered. Osho and Chambers struggle against direct L1 physicality in their position. There are times i think Robertson gets steamrolled; Rubin, Willock and Kellymen are show ponies

Today i thought only Joel and Wintle enjoyed the battle

Luckily i doubt we'll face too many teams who are as good at it as Lincoln are.

If we get promoted, we need to upgrade the physicality whilst keeping the technicality

Their whole team moved in unison with one another today. It was like they were all tied together by lots of 10m lengths of rope. So compact. It was one slick well oiled machine...can't help but respect it really.

I'm still not sure how you break a team down like that. I was hoping BBM knew but that was a big fat No.

They didn't offer much going forward apart from the obvious aerial threat. Wonder how many goals they've scored from open play.

Horrible team to play against!

Absolutely not true. I’ve watched a significant amount of championship football this season. The teams who play “football” are:

Coventry
Middlesborough
Norwich (since clement took over)
Ipswich
Southampton
Bristol City

The rest are percentage football teams. Nothing wrong with that. I don’t think anyone criticises teams for it they do criticise an over reliance on set pieces. Lincoln scored two good goals on the break today with a lot of skill.

Last year Leeds and Sunderland played lovely stuff but Burnley were defensive first with a lot of draws.

Nothing wrong with that. Malky won us the title that way.

Lincoln are much more skilled than Warnock teams.

Two open play goals against us today.

The championship possession stats state otherwise showing very Even distribution, actually trending with most lower possession teams actually struggling like Oxford. Warnock ball won’t work in the modern championship.

Ok, I'm no fan of Warnock because I have big concerns about his financial dealings and certain relationships.

But he has players that could make a difference, either related or unrelated to his financial dealings. Taraabt being one.

Lincoln as they are will not be effective in the Championship. They would need a star. Maybe it's Moylan - I don't know, not sure enough of him.

Would also admit we need additions to be comfortable in the Championship.

I mean the teams I mentioned as footballing teams have higher than 50% possession and there are a few more like Swansea. I saw Swansea when they were really struggling. I’m not sure if they are back playing their old style or not.

My idea of “football” is fast attacking possession based scoring goals much like Cardiff play. The teams I listed do that.
