If we get 3 points after 90 minutes, they can play head tennis with the ball with the keepers arse sticking it in the net for all I care.
Warne has a proven track record at this level, whatever everyone's takes are on Warneball, to a man and woman, not one fan would be complaining if he delivered the League 1 title.
We've had pretty much every style going with McClaren, Rowett, Cocu and without fail, fans are only ever happy when we're winning.
If I was to put a more positive spin on your description of Warneball for balance.
1. High pressing, winning the ball back quickly in the opposition half.
2. Wing backs getting down the line with the ball, Kane already spoke of his dribbling ability.
3. Putting balls in the box giving decent service to Collins where instinct takes over rather than time to think.
4. Winning the balls in the box.
5. Scoring bags of goals
6. Defend the lead by cutting out silly mistakes, a solid back line with natural wing backs that are willing to cover the ground turning it into a back 5 without the ball.

That's 100% what I'm expecting to see, although I think you're being a bit ambitious with step 5.

Now that 'ol bobble hat Warney (I do like him honestly) is in the throes of assembling a team "in his own image", do we expect to see WarneBall in its purest form?
I fear but hope it's not just:
run around a lot hoof the ball down the channels get to it and cross it early scrap for it in the box score goal defend the lead by running about even more

Jason Knight.......oh wait.

It’s been a bit quiet atm, Godden is being pushed hard but sounds like Cov need another Striker in before he can go. Andy Dallas was the Chesterfield target but he seems to be negotiating to the highest bidder. I’ve seen he’s ‘agreed terms’ with about 5 different clubs 😂 if I hear anything I’ll put it up ASAP

IslandExile reacted to B4ev6is in Can we challenge for promation July 14, 2023

Well I think all signing have been good signings and if we can get another goal scorer we could be challenging for the title winning season but very very early doors if we fail get another striker in we do have have lang that can play there and been doing that for his country in the golden cup thing.
And we have some good young players breaking through as well that could add pure pace to our attacks now in which I think teams will find hard who to pick up now.
I know many of you are against papa John's troupy but it could be good for young lads confordance. And we could sign those lads from RAngers that been at trail with us.
