The only positive I can give Warnock tonight is that I've seen him play far worse this season.
The sad thing is his recent away performances (Chelsea, Wolves when he was brought on to keep Kightly quiet) have been pretty good. He, and I daresay a few other players, get nervous at Villa Park when they know there's likely to be audible tuts and boos and abuse when they drop a bollock. As is our right. The much bandied about ''character'' in footballers, ours anyway, seems on the shaky side.
The thing is, I really don't think he gives a f*** about the team or the club. He's a less evident Hodge like character whose ability has deserted him many years ago. It was recognized by MON and Houllier fairly quickly in their tenure. Why has AM persisted when there are more options, not far better options but better options.
That being said I thought Dunne was as much as fault for the own goal tonight. Tracked the ball all the way, rose like a salmon and missed it under no pressure by at least a foot. Jesus.
What disappointed me was that none of our players said anything to him after it happened, I'd have hoped at least our captain would have had a word with him. Again show the lack of togetherness in the squad.
