heard a saying the other day, not sure if it's well known but it was new to me. I'm paraphrasing anyway. An optimist may suffer once, A pessimist will suffer twice- once worrying that something bad will happen and then again when it does"
I would like to say that's inspired me but I've looked at our fixtures and I'm not sure where out next point will come from. I don't see it being in this week though. Nor should we really expect it. I think over the course of the week we will lose around 6-1. 3-1 tomorrow and 3-0 Saturday.
I've also been remembering quotes from
Brian Clough, when he met Don Revie after being sacked and told he couldn't have bettered his achievement as they won everything. "I wanted to win everything but do it better than you did" I know he was a one off but how can anyone think that replacing Parky is useless as no one else could do a better job with these players. Give me a coach with ambition and drive for once please and I'll back him.

Like you OM, I have absolutely no confidence in our getting anything from this weeks games. We never do well at Bristol so I don't see that changing but my real fear is at Villa who are just improving and will soon see they can steamroller us. My biggest worry is Parky's complete reluctance or inability to recognise the direct route is what is killing us. I'm convinced these same players would look completely different if used in a more ground based footballing system. Sadly it looks like only a moving of the deck chairs with Wilbraham replacing or alongside Madine. I think two bad results this week must mark the end of Parkinson but wouldn't it be nice if instead of shunning the media he actually read it, changed his tactics and got us two wonderful wins? Sorry, I was putting my optimistic head on there for a minute!!

That's the thing if he could get 3 points this week I would say he would have instantly get the monkey off his back and the fans would get behind him.
I don't think he can and deep down I think he knows that too. Whereas I believe there are still managers who would fancy a crack at this. Moyes, Billy Davies, Lambert, Adkins Tim Sherwood maybe. They are all flawed and you can easily pick holes but I guarantee they'd all back themselves at giving this a go.

I really don't know anymore would like to say a draw but sorry I can't see Bristol not scoring so there goes my draw. Let's just score and give the traveling fans something to cheer but it will end in tears.  |

Over 10 hours since a goal. 47th minute red card. How pointless is that?
Hardly had a kick this half. I would say that's Parkys last 15 minutes for motivation, inspiration?
Ha, manager less Oldham taken the lead. It may just be a shot in the arm, quick fix but changing a manager is effective and needs to be done now.
I know they say joint managers never work but I really don't think Paul and Barry Chuckle could do worse.

Having watched the game on ifollow, I have to say that this was a game we could have easily got something from. A poor defensive goal , a ridiculous deflection and an absurd red card in between polished us off. The biggest problem is that we pose little or no threat going forward. Our wide players are ineffective. Noone adds little and Morais is showing himself as League One at best. People point the finger at Madine, but isolated as he is, he has no chance. Hopefully Ameobi can get a start next time tom give us something out wide. Pratley, King and Henry gave us solidity, if little creativity. If Cullen is a genuine ball player ( and I've seen little evidence that he is) then perhaps with Henry and Karacan alongside him and Ameobi and a more effective Noone or Buckley out wide things may yet improve.

Still who else could possibly do any better?
Was it too much to ask for a single consolation goal just to appease the travelling fans and shake that stat off our back.
Worse is that Parky will have two excuses; 10 men, deflected shot. Unlucky. Hardies. Will get better.
I'll be delighted if he's gone. I see no point in keeping him. Even if we think we're planning for league 1 why keep Parky when our goal would be to get back to here.

Simple, money that's what is keeping him in a job. As shxt as we have been we are still only 2 or 3 wins away from the pack at the bottom we just need some of that luck and someone to put the ball in the net.

Only surprise to me is that BC didn't really go for it and pummel us 5-0, especially with 10 men
Still, Eddie thinks PP will save us...

Is it any wonder that the players are lacking confidence when Parky sets up not to lose every week? How on earth can we win games if we leave what goal scorers we have on the bench, only coming on when we're behind and chasing the game? Unless we stop this negativity and set teams up to attack and put the opposition under pressure we can be certain we'll continue to suffer. I'd rather go down at least fighting than being embarrassed every week. I just don't see it happening under Parky I'm afraid but without the money to pay him off I fear we're stuck with him as there's no way he'll walk.
