Charlton Vs QPR

Just watched the Warburton interview and I get the impression that he is probably a better trader than football manager.

I find him so uninspiring and if that's how he appears to the players it's no wonder we lose more than we win.

He frightens me when he says they practice set piece defending every day. If that is the case then we should all be very frightened because whatever him and his defensive coaches practice with the team it doesn't work. I would concede that it probably doesn't work because the defenders aren't good enough. Although, I suspect Warburton wouldn't admit to that because he signed most of them. Players like Kane and Wallace are very poor, Masterson is still learning, Manning is not a defender, Rangel is on the downhill side of his career and Barbet is an average defender who lacks pace and is poor in the air.

Somebody should tell Warburton that we all want a team that plays like Man City or Barcelona but unless you have quality players that ain't gonna happen. Just because a player is confident playing the ball out with his feet doesn't make him a good keeper and Kelly is not a good goalkeeper(IMO).

I do have some sympathy with Warburton though because like all of our recent managers he is trying to achieve success with League 2 quality players on non league wages. The positive is that when his attacking style works it's great to watch. The issue is that it fails more often than it succeeds.
