Bolton v Cardiff... match thread

That'll be the day when Parky out foxes any manager in this division. Seeing a young player like Hall doing so well whilst our first choices struggle is doubly annoying but as I've said before, if players like Hall don't fit into Parkinson's hump it style football, the best they'll get is stuck out on the wing like Armstrong or Ameobi or not in at all like Alf. How much longer can Anderson not see the futility of keeping this guy in his job? Just maybe a good tanning by Cardiff this weekend will do it? I can't get there I'm afraid but I have got my ticket for Bramhall Lane, which I also fear for.

I have to say rftr, that I can't disagree with your 0-4 prediction against Cardiff, especially as I don't think Anderson's remarks will have done anything but reduce confidence even more in the squad, if that's possible? I'm hoping we're wrong though as we desperately need the points and a win against a team like Cardiff would be brilliant. Sadly, I expect the same team on Saturfday as last week with perhaps the inclusion of Little instead of Darby if fit, but essentially the same negative mindset of trying not to lose. If we are well beaten I wonder just what it will take to make Anderson realise that his problem is Parky and not the players he so publicly criticised through the week? Surely, even he must be close to seeing it by now but I really do wonder if he just refuses to acknowledge it due to the finances involved?

2-1 🤞😂

We just have to win this one grud. I know it's unlikely but 3 points would be a fantastic Christmas present and do wonders for everyone's confidence. Come on Parky, let's be positive and take the game to Cardiff, we have it in us to do it.

I've said that for some time grud but we just have to get some points over the Christmas/New Year period or we really are in trouble and it would be doubly difficult for anyone coming in to turn it round. I think he really should have been gone already so that any changes to personnel in January could have been made by the new manager. We know though that with the financial restraints it's highly unlikely Parky would go even if results are bad. Like you again, I'd love to see positive changes and two up top but alas I just don't think leopards change spots and Parky's are most definitely hoof it to a lone target.

What I find interesting is that, two games Burton and Cardiff both at home, could you get two sides more different? One of the promotion push and the other rock bottom(at the time). How does Parky access the different threats? How does he target the weaknesses? How does he put a plan in to win? Oh, he doesn't he sets the team up exactly the same as always.

Sure if you're Barca you may say we play this system and that's that. We're not. This man is the least ambitious manager we've ever had. No ALF or Hall?

We should be in for a drubbing today because Warnocks team talk will be simple. "This idiot piped up to say Wolves will walk the league when he's not even seen us play yet! What rights he got to comment on us when he's got the worst team in the league. Go out and smash them. Wolves scored 5 we want 6 and we can get it because they've been opened up several times and they won't even Attack so both full backs can play in their half. Just Attack from 1st minute and we'll be 3 up at half time. Then we can keep going and see how many we can get and let's put the pressure on this muppet"

P.s how much glory will Madine get from Bamba? And how long will it take for Parky to realise this?

Well the Cardiff players obviously didn't listen to my imaginary Warnock team talk. It's an excellent win. It's a big "up yours " from parky to the likes of me and WS63 who have slated him. I'm happy to be proven wrong.

We're half way through now and we're in the mix. A point off safety. I still don't see that immediate mini league as being the same at the end because I'm sure Sunderland may back Coleman but I think Millwall will have a worse 2nd half.

The Hull game should be a decent crowd and a much improved atmosphere.
