Brought in during Alexander’s reign, and Warne’s style is certainly more aligned with him. Was impressive against Crewe, as Warne says he’s very commanding and likes to come for the ball when a cross or set piece comes in.
I wouldn’t be against him being number one next season.
Think this definitely means Trueman’s contract won’t be renewed though.
This showcases the failing in our recent flipflopping of style when it comes to managers and the need for some consistency. We've had a very capable player sitting on the bench for nearly 2 years who up until Warne's arrival was probably looking forward to leaving. I completely understood why he wasn't favoured by both MW and Lindsey and therefore not used, but its very poor resource management on the recruitment end. The problem is we now have a team built for that possession based style that will need overhauled yet again.
Makes me wonder how many players we've not seen the best of in recent times due to the constant flux. I never really rated Tommy Leigh for example but I would bet you he would be well suited to what Paul Warne wants form his attackers.
Even though I already know I won't love the football under Warne at times I hope we stick with him and have some consistency.
