Won't come as a shock when I say I now would give Parkinson a vote of no confidence and look to replace him before Saturday. Even if he finishes 2nd bottom, which I genuinely think he will do, it will be his finest finish. Given that other clubs get rid before he takes them down. He's completely out of his depth. Even last season he had spells where we struggled to score, I remember at one stage only a 90th minute own goal saves us from going 6 or 7 without even a goal. Even at the end when it mattered we limped over the line. I've mentioned before no manager has ever kept his job based purely on financial reasons. Parkinson shouldn't either. I don't like his style. I don't like that he doesn't know his best XI in April. I said in pre-season fixtures that he was too negative and we were so uncreative that seeped into the start of the season and left us chasing in October. I don't think he is anything but a league one manager with limited styles. All Parkinson will do next season is play the same dire way but with worst players as 20 will walk away from the club. I do not have the answer to who would be better. I just want the question to be asked. Look at home goals recently 1-1-0-0-0. This is when we should be fighting for dear life. 7 days please let David Lee have the last two games. Not that I think he will definitely win the games left just that I know that he will try. Act now Anderson. Please, please gardening leave! Great post OoM please repeat this on the BN where I’m certain that KA reads every column inch. Wonder what the skirmish at the end of the game was about!! Fans throwing objects at one of the boxes!!! That type of protest is 7 games too late. I honestly do think that’s it and we are going down. Even Gary Henshaw commented on TowerFM that Beevers body language said he doesn’t want to be here any longer and with attitudes like that, the only way is down

Well I had a cracking day today, revisiting Lincoln in the sunshine with my gorgeous little 18 month granddaughter. It was nearly as good as our trip to the seaside with her last week in the sun at Cleethorpes. Now, whilst Lincoln is beautiful whatever the weather, the same can not always be said of Cleethorpes, but in preference to being at Oakwell watching Wanderers throw yet more points away last week, it was heaven. I pity those who went to the Macron today, different day, same abject rubbish and so glad I didn't join them. I initially felt guilty for missing those games but having spent such enjoyable times with my little one, I've come to realise just how unimportant Wanderers in their current state are. I'm still on Parkinson strike and will not return until he's gone and genuinely wish everybody else would do the same because it seems that is the only way our stubborn, myopic, idiot of an owner will see sense and bin this clown. I fear even then he wouldn't but the happy clappers are two games away from the event that most of us could see for months, if not all season. Anyway, my only decision now is where we'll take little Ava May for the next two Saturdays so I can avoid the pain that all of you "true" supporters will undoubtedly sufffer. Of course, if Ken acts it could yet be different!!!!!!

The skirmish, RFTR, was down to some Wolves supporters in the hospitality box having the nerve to celebrate their team's excellent achievement ...no doubt the 'fans' who decided to leave their seats and gather below the box to hurl abuse and objects will claim that they were being goaded, perhaps forgetting their own tendency to taunt , goad and insult opposition fans at every opportunity. However misguided or foolish it might have been given the close proximity of home fans, the Wolves' fans exuberance was understandable given the team's success over the season, and performance on the day. I'll now put on my rose-tinted spectacles and reminisce about the days when you could actually mingle in the grounds with away fans, show respect for one another, and even applaud opposition goals that were worthy of such appreciation, whilst maintaining a fervent support for one's own team and the right to have a good moan when things went badly. Now, where's tonight's Buff and me mug of cocoa?

No one knows what the future holds. That's true enough but I just cannot see a bright future.
Best case scenario. Barnsley lose remaining games and we avoid defeat at Burton. Manage to stay up. What are we left with? Firstly the two promoted teams in Wigan and Blackburn will be better equipped so what teams will be in the mire next season? I'd say we're guaranteed to be in a mess next season. Do we want another season like this, if not worse?
Of the players we have how many need replacing? But that's true whatever league were in.
If we do lose to Burton (think we will lose and possibly draw at Forest. Not enough) then it's league one. Bye bye to BetFred and Kia deals. The better players will walk away for free, which will play into the hands of Pratley and Dervite as they will know we need to keep some players in the squad and they're the ones who are left. Those turds refuse to be flushed.
Phil knows that he is at the biggest and best club he could ever be at( I do not mean that to sound so big headed but he is genuinely a manager that is suited to a Gillingham or Stevenage or somewhere)
My personal prediction for next season. League: League one. Season tickets sold: 6,000 (unsure how many of those are concessions. Players leaving: Flanagan, Beevers, Wheater, Robinson, Henry, Noone, Ameobi, Charsley, ALF, Hall, Wilbraham, Obasi, Darby, C.Taylor.
Ownership - Ken will lose all interest. Will take any cash offers for Vela (can't see much) to line his pockets personally and will then give up on the club. Avoid paying taxman, stop the loan repayments and when push comes to shove will live out his days in his villa Casa Madine.
Manager: Phil won't go anywhere as he wont get another job. If he did it would be a huge step down. So only near the end of his contract would he ever walk voluntarily.
Ken won't sack anyone too. Leave that for the next administration team to deal with.

Right Parky, it's all back in our own hands after Barnsley losing tonight at Forest, so you have yet another opportunity to get a win on Saturday that could well mean we're safe by the end of play, Derbys win over Cardiff tonight means Brentford have to win at Oakwell to keep their chances of making the play offs alive. If they do, it then means that Derby may also have to win against Barnsley on the final weekend. We couldn't have designed a more fortunately difficult run in for Barnsley so may not even need another point at all. However we can't rely on that and must go all out for once to get a win at Burton so hopefully the opportunity will be seized upon by both Parky and the players to pull out a committed and lively performance at the Pirelli. COYWM you can do it.

“We couldn't have designed a more fortunately difficult run in for Barnsley so may not even need another point at all.” Much as I share your delight at Forest’s win tonight, Whites, I think your maths is awry. If we don’t get another point, by definition Burton will win on Sat and we are down. We must play as if we need to win both, whereas, in fact as little as as draw at Burton may suffice!

Parky should have all the players doing yoga or some other form of relaxation as clearly, after the Wolves shambles, the players are as tense as anything. What would BSA be doing in a situation like this? Phil, pick up the phone and seek the mans advice, you never know, it might be one of them things whereby you ate on SKY telling the reporter exactly what you did and then the media can make a song and dance about it. I digress, but the point I’m making is that he should be looking at a way of calming the nerves of all concerned as I think Burton will be in a win win situation otherwise. I’d go 5-2-3 against Burton and really go for it and if we do the unimaginable and actually attack and win, we can revert to 5-4-1 if we just need a point v Forest😬🤔 What do I know😞

Both managers have a fairly easy team talk. For Clough it's do or die. For us we know a win and were safe.
I really hope we don't go down the "draws enough" (even though I think it is)
They'll come out all guns blazing. We need to match them. Man to man, win the battles. Win the game.
Get the job done!
Going to be a long afternoon. I think we need to take the lead early on and then get a 2 goal buffer otherwise it's going to be very very tense

Hypothetical question if PP was to change his ways about football would you keep him on IF we stay up? .

Hypothetical question if PP was to change his ways about football would you keep him on IF we stay up? . Of course. Why wouldn't we? I said after Villa that we seem to be playing better without Madine and I am fully in favour. Then the international break. Then PP returns. He must go.

Chris Wilder might very well be leaving Sheff Itd due to some sort of ownership unrest, when we were last linked with him we should have got him, if he comes available again we should go for him this time and get him.
