Wish I could be more confident with this one. It's a relegation battle with two similar teams so why can we not go and win and put huge pressure on them?
Well several reasons. One is away form. 1 win all season away, similar poor return on out last season in the championship, it's pretty obvious that we do simply not have a game plan.
More so we're just inept at being creative. We're so intent on not losing a match that we often have 8 or 9 players in our half. No confidence instilled in these players and that comes from top down.
We need to play with intensity and aggression from the start, get at them and really give them a match!
I find Parkinson's comments as odd as usual. Hall didn't make the bench as too similar to ALF and doesn't see a partnership there...so better to let ALF roam around ineffective. Not even on the bench so if anything happened to ALF wouldn't you think that having a similar player would be of use.
All his talk is about someone getting on the end of something, scuffing it in and then putting the bodies on the line. No talk of bettering the opponents, playing better and creating chances. It's obvious that we well set up for 0-0 and try and get them on the break or set price. (Ironically that's how we lost the Birmingham game.
I'm resigned to the fact that Ken will not try and get a deal for Parky to step down. So my only hope is that either the senior players have the fortitude to take it on themselves and perhaps speak up against this style or that Parky for whatever reason is unable to attend the last few matches and not able to give team talks. (Or selections)
I can see them coming up with real gusto and for that we've had no answers. 4-0.

The ususal would be for us not to score and the home side to get at least two. Can't see any reason why this game will be any different.

I'm planning for next season already for my trip to see Fleetwood, Doncaster, Southend should be good. It has got to the stage that I am not bothered which way it goes all the talk about we need somebody to step up well in my opinion somebody needed to step down a long time ago. It will be same old same old hold hold hold oh shxt they have scored what do we do now I know 38 year old (Willy Brown) Wilbraham to get me a goal  . I'm sick of it all just so glad I ain't got the money to waste on watching them as I would have still been watching and hoping that a miracle will happen. Sorry 2-1 down and out  hope it's for us though x |

And another bitter point but would it kill Sky not to show Leeds and/or Aston Villa every single week. Twice this week and that's not really an exception to the rule.
I can't believe they're not showing our game live? Any neutral can see it's probably the defining game of the season in terms of survival.
I know it's not a glamour fixture but surely it's more significant than 80s Villa vs 70s Leeds?

I’m not suggesting that it’s ‘nailed on’ that we will lose this game but as we simply can not put the ball in the onion bag, the very best we can hope for is a goalless draw which will sound completely contradictory as I still believe the Tykes will score against the poorest team in this league
I am not preparing for League One unlike chip, I simply won’t follow a PP team any longer regardless of what league we’re in

If you're Ken now though what you must think.
Survival and there's a good chance someone will come in to take the reigns. £20M in the bank and live your days out in the Bahamas.
Relegation and you're stuck with a club you don't want. A manager you know can't make the cut. Season tickets down 5000 minimum. Attendances of 9000. Sponsorships lost and 20 players all without contracts.
I'm amazed after all that to factor in that Ken had stuck with PP but I assume that if that happens Ken will walk away after his 50p loss. Maybe he's been allowed to set aside a bit of cash from transfers and will let someone else take the fall.
But if we stay up I say he's still on far a winfall so I don't see the argument of "not affording to sack him" we need someone who can get us wins.

It’s hard to work out what to expect today.
Really, we need to attack and go for the win. 3 pts today will ease the pressure tremendously.
But do we have a manager who is prepared to attack? I think not.
I expect the usual dour, back-to-the-walls approach and the hope that we can grab a goal against the run of play and then hang on.
I suppose a draw would be acceptable but it means that we would need to win at Burton and with our away attitude, in fact our total attitude towards playing football matches, there can be no guarantee there.
Please let’s attack this game.

I just fear we’re all going to be back on here in 5 hours, deflated, angry, looking for positives from each other’s posts working out permutations, can we win at Burton, can we beat Forest in a Peterborough style way and then voicing our anger towards Parkinson and Anderson
Just flippin well hope I’m soooo wrong
COYWM do it

See that's why I fear the drop why the fxck no Connor Hall on the bench instead he has 38 year old Willy Brown I'm sick to the back teeth of PP and his willingness not to put Hall on the bench.
