has continued Warnock&#8217;s direct playing style (Credit: Cardiff City FC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>CARDIFF City manager Neil Harris has continued the direct playing style of his predecessor Neil Warnock, according to figures from his first 17 games at the helm.<br \/> <br \/>Harris was quick to dismiss suggestions made by fans and the media that he was \u201cWarnock Mark II\u201d when appointed as Bluebirds boss in November last year, despite employing a similar style at previous club Millwall.<br \/> <br \/>\u201c[Warnock\u2019s] his own man, and I\u2019m respectful towards that,\u201d he said.<br \/><br \/>\u201cSome of those principles [of directness and physicality at Millwall] I will stick to, I want to adjust because of how I am as a coach.<br \/> <br \/>\u201cI also have to be respectful of the players that we\u2019ve got, and we can\u2019t change overnight \u2013 it will take time.\u201d<br \/> <br \/>Three months into Harris\u2019 tenure, any shift in the Bluebird\u2019s style of play has been minimal, with the so-called \u2018Warnock Way\u2019 seemingly still alive and well at Cardiff City Stadium.<br \/> <br \/>Though the term has been disputed by the man himself, this \u2018Way\u2019 refers to the straightforward, risk-averse and often-unglamorous playing style employed by the veteran manager.<br \/> <br \/>Possession is minimal and the number of attempted passes is low, with the ball moved quickly up the pitch, while set pieces and the team\u2019s aerial threats are a regular source of goals.<br \/> <br \/>Despite his side sitting ninth in the table and just three points off a play-off spot, Harris is yet to move on from this approach, with Cardiff\u2019s figures for possession, passing, aerial duels and set-piece goals showing little deviation from Warnock\u2019s reign.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>PASSING AND POSSESSION<\/strong><br \/> <br \/>Cardiff currently sit bottom of this season\u2019s Championship table in terms of passing and possession, with both managers contributing to this lowly position.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"754\" loading=\"lazy\"
