Smithy must be getting fed up with ploughing a lone furrow & having no forward up front with
him, which we had the same when Revell was at the club, again the lone striker.

Eric you said, 'Barker should be advising Warne to go for the juglar now & play 2 up front to try & gain points'.

Don't be daft. Barker will just sit back and let Warne take all the flak. Remind me again what Barker has achieved in management? Warne needs a stronger number 2 by his side but that's too late now as they've formed a bond that Warne would never break.

Could you imagine Warne/Evans partnership? At least the football might be more entertaining with a gung ho attitude towards games. Of course this would never happen as Warne couldn't stand Evans style of Management, and there's no revolving door on players now at the club. But, who offered the better attacking formations, Warne or Evans?
