Still learning

Now 70+ hours (started learning at 52) and gone solo but still ratio of good landings rather low. So you have plenty of time.

PA28 taught approach at 65 to end of runway (fully trimmed while keeping numbers in same position in windscreen), reduce throttle, eyes to end of runway, maintain eyes at same height as if standing next to plane, gradually keep pulling back and plane will gradually transition from flying to landing as the the stall warner goes off and yoke is fully back.

Do all my bits but plane does not seem to do its bit - either dropping nose slightly (flat landing and bounce) or rising nose slightly (climbing back to 10 ft and sounding stall warner).

Reading mad_jock seems I am omitting the verbal instruction to the plane.
