‘ WARNOCK GETS TO SEE THE FAILURES & THE PLAYERS NEEDED ‘

By Annis Abraham

Neil Warnock’s Cardiff City experiment against Barnsley proved and showed how poor some of Warnocks squad really is.
Neil Warnock admitted he was going to use Cardiff City’s end of the season to experiment and for me it worked.

Yes City grinder out a hard earned draw,but their was no flair.imagination,desire or even go in some of the City players.
Sol Bamba was made captain for the night after Warnock dropped Sean Morrison.

Bamba had kept the Cardiff City defence solid against a very lively Barnsley side and for me Bamba and Manga looked like a good partnership.

Kenneth Johore did not have one of his better games,but then there was no service from the Cardiff midfield.

Neil Warnock had made five changes and wanted to see what options he has already in his squad before making final decisions of changes for the summer.
There def was a lack of quality from the Cardiff midfield and the lack of creativity or understanding from the front players was not there.
‘ DECLAN JOHN & ANTHONY PILKINGTON ‘
Declan John for me was virtually non existant and showed nothing to warrant keeping him and Anthony Pilkington in his usual role chased balls and worked hard but left Zohore isolated so his hold-up play was wasted and Zhores first shot was in the 92nd minute.

‘ CRAIG NOONE & GREG HALFORD ‘
Craig Noone looked lifeless and not interested and Greg Halford was not himself next to a tired Aron Gunnarsson who once again gave his all.

Neil Warnock will have, however, have been happy by what he saw at the back having made the shock choice to drop Sean Morrison.

‘ SEAN MORRISON ‘

Sean Morrison for me is not a leader and never seems to be vocal on the pitch.

Sean Morrison had been criticised for his failure to deal with Wolves’ aerial threat last Saturday and perhaps this game was a chance to see how City would do without him as Captain.

While Sol Bamba was on the pitch,Bamba and Bruno Manga looked solid and could be the perfect partnership for next season?
Over all Neil Warnock will have seen in my opinion that Anthony Pilkington,Craig Noone,Declan John can move on this summer.

Also that if Warnock can keep Manga then Bamba and Manga will be a quality partnership for next season.

For me what was good to see if Brian Murphy is called upon he can do a good job :thumbright:
