The point on a defensive midfielder would hold water had we been on a good run with Morsy in the team, the truth is we weren’t and to further qualify why Warnock is culpable for our current predicament it’s obvious that he’s been able to bring at least some of his ‘own’ players in, so why hasn’t he looked at defensive midfielders as an area to reinforce knowing an injury to Morsy, before his sale, would have left us without cover in that position.
It feels like there’s a delusion at large that Warnock can improve this team given time and that things will turn around, whereas the evidence of his 40 year plus career is initial impact that builds momentum over an 18 month period and then tails off, I’m in no way knocking what he has done in his career and he did a fantastic job in his initial period at the club, but sadly we have not made progress in the last 9 months and results like Sheffield United are the exception rather than the rule, every Boro fan wants Warnock to succeed but there comes appoint when faith becomes misplaced and reality bites, we’ve gone backwards in the last 12 months and the longer this continues the longer we will continue to slide.
It almost seems like self sabotage by Warnock, throwing players under the bus publicly is not something I would expect from a manager of his experience, his unwillingness to take any blame or offer any constructive solution, his reluctance to work with the DOF seems to me that Warnock is more interested in proving points than working in the best long term interests of the Club and that division allied to a sustained period of mediocre form means that I can’t see any other solution than to make changes that bring unity.
