So much for Warnock saying he is finished with management, must need another pay check.

No he lives in Cornwall and doesn't need the money - just can't stay retired

They must’ve looked in the market and turned their nose up.

Naaaah, get Warnock on the phone!

Smells of panic.

If Warnock saves Huddersfield from relegation he'd be a miracle worker.

They are one point behind Cardiff - he managed the Terriers to promotion once in the 90's - the motivation I suspect is pretty obvious

People need to check his record out in this league. He has started off with numerous hopeless cases and turned them round. I would expect the same this time, and those people thinking that our upcoming game at their place hasn't become more difficult are sadly deluded.

We just need Harry Redknapp to take the helm at Wigan

No signs of the traditional post-Christmas Mowbray collapse at Sunderland. They’re now in the playoff spots, with the fourth best goal difference in the league.

Done very well indeed, unsurprisingly given their resources. Wonder if people are still delighted it was them who won the playoff final.

What's more surprising with Sunderland is that they have done so well even though their main forward has been, and is injured. They are on a bit of a roll at the moment and our match against them in a couple of weeks is going to be much tougher than any of us expected at the start of the season. Fair play to Mowbray too, when he went there I thought he was taking on a poisoned chalice.

it really is a crazy league
Saturday becomes massive again - win that, and then we start to look towards the top 6

we probably need 29 points from 15 games - at least 8 wins

so its possible as below, but no more slip ups - the below gives us 72 - I think we probably finish on 63-65
H
Sunderland W
Hull D
Blackpool W
Stoke W
Watford L
Reading W
Birmingham W

A
Rotherham W
Preston L (always lose there)
Huddersfield W
Wigan W
Swansea L (always lose there)
Qpr D
Blackburn D
Middlesbrough W (one off decider)

I don't think 72 will be enough.
I think we might beat Watford and Hull but I think we will lose or draw with Sunderland. Watford are on a terrible run.
Preston not in great form at the moment, surely we will win there sometime.
Middlesboro looks the hardest away game but they will probably already have qualified, and might prefer us in there to others such as Norwich or Watford.

I think they also have the youngest squad in the league. Got to hand it to them, they are going great guns for their first season back.

Hard to see anything other than the current bottom 3 being the ones to go down at this moment. Certainly no sign of a McCarthy inspired turnaround at Blackpool and likewise very early days but not a good start for Warnock. The standard of the lower reaches of the table is probably worse than the last couple of seasons.

Daft sending off for Huddersfield on top of the result.

Warnock wasn’t in charge tonight, his first game in the dugout will be on Saturday against Blues.

Middlesborough look good

Akpom was never a prolific goalscorer but since his time at Boro, and certainly under Carrick, he's moved up a gear or 3. And now with Archer on loan from Villa, they're going to be a handful for most Championship defences.

Don't like the smoggies but credit where it's due, they are certainly an outside bet for the autos this season. But 7 points behind Blades and played a game more may be a bit too much.

Coberans honeymoon period looks to be ending there too. They were on fire few weeks ago. Turns toxic there very quickly.
Been reading about WBA things looking potentially very bleak for them if they fail to get promotion. Massive debts and wage bill their owner Lai has taken a Wonga stile £20 million high interest loan and has so far reneged on repaying a £5mllion loan he had from the club think their parachute money has run out too so there’s another 40odd million quid out of their budget, squeaky bum time I think at West Brom

Hudds started with Waghorn at CF last night.

He’s not a Warnock type striker, let’s hope there’s no send-back option else we might have to be paying out some.

Warnock always used to like big fuggers up front. I’ll laugh my sausage off if he sticks big Hudlin in.

(To those new to the forum, a couple of years ago I suggested Waghorn was a strange signing given his age and wage. No sell on possibility and a big chunk of budget and we had no back up to Vik.

At the time there was paper talk of Man City, SWFC, Celtic etc looking at this big 20/21 yo student who was playing at Moors - local and cheap to develop. Got ridiculed and still do.

Fair enough - he’s pulled no trees and it was a bad shout. Still maintain that he was a better use of funds than Waghorn, but Hudlin was a bad shout - I’ll own it.

Now then, if there’s one manager in the world that’ll stick Hudlin in it’s Warnock.

It’ll just be funny if he actually does something)
