Warburton Official

Well said! I have seen no fans demanding Warburton be sacked - has anyone?

As stoatey says it is just websites that need advertising revenue putting Warnock being out of a job and Ainsworth having a successful season together and making the outcome whatever suits themselves.

In my opinion he’s starting to run out of excuses
He should lay in to the players and not give it the softly softly approach anymore
This is a season with probably one of the poorest selection of teams ever in it and considering how bad we’ve been defending we are still in with a chance of even nicking a top 6 spot
Yesterday Geoff Cameron cost us 2 points and you can see the pressure is starting to show with some players
Are they simply uncomfortable with warburton style of football or are we just simply really poor on our day
Yesterday’s result isn’t the end of the world,who would of thought Barnsley would beat Millwall away
Nobody unbeatable this season and only West Brom and Leeds show signs of a little bit of quality

I really think we would be top 6 now even top 3
If we had one or two decent defenders
The championship is awful this year

At the start of the season I would have gladly settled for a safe finish in the bottom half of the league and I'm sure that most of us on here thought that would be where we would finish.

After 12 games like a lot of fans I was beginning to think a play off spot was more than achievable and that Warburtons Plan A of adopting the Barcelona/Man City/Liverpool style of football was going to work. I said at the time that Warburton was a lucky manager and I'd rather have a lucky manager than a good manager.

With 23 games gone most fans including myself are in disappointment mode because the bubble has burst it's back to expecting no more than a safe mid table finish. Warburtons luck has gone and Plan A has been rumbled by the opposition.

It is clear that Warburton has only one way of playing and lacks a Plan B or even C. His tactics never change just his weekly team selection which must confuse the players no end.

As a fan Im happy to sometimes win a game ugly and Saturday was a case in point. We were doing well against Charlton and with just 12 minutes to go we are leading 2 goals to one with 3 points in the bag. QPR have one substitution left and most managers worth their salt would be looking to shore things up and see out the final minutes of the game and counteract Charltons final push. Not Warburton, he could have brought on Ball for Pugh or even Wallace for Pugh but no he brings on Chair. The rest as they say is history with Charlton equalizing in the last minute.

Warburton makes the decisions, picks the team and chooses the tactics so he gets the plaudits when things are going well but has to take the stick when things are failing.

The majority of us don't want to see him sacked but it might be wise of him to find a Plan B if he wants to keep that majority on his side.
