Well we need to comment on this.
Two sloppy goals against and the news that Le Fondre has left the club
Shocking

The first goal was poor as Bamford just seemed to go through Hobbs and Wilson was too slow to respond.
The second goal was worse.
Our throw in into their box, cleared and its 2 against 2. What Little is doing I don't know. He starts marking the Leeds man then wanders away and leaves him alone to receive a pass and then shoot and score. Terrible defending.

Fancy announcing that Le Fondre has left in the middle of a match.
Amazing

Connor Hall just being regularly knocked off the ball - too easy for Leeds defence

No comment on the game from me tonight as we’re having to manage on i-follow with just the appalling Chris something on Tower. No real idea whats going on unfortunately.
Ridiculous to let ALF go with no replacement having been secured. Mind you, I’d move to Sydney tomorrow!

Just pretty much sums the club and management up at the moment really David. Very sad to hear about Alf going but hardly a surprise. It's difficult to imagine that Alf didn't know he wasn't wanted by Parkinson, especially after being told he didn't fit the system by Mr 28% himself.
The problem tonight seems to be Parky trying to play "positive" players but of course not in the least believing in it, so it will be back to type against Reading on Saturdaywith few of tonight's starters appearing. Let's just hope we can keep the score down in the second half!!

Good for ALF, he's taken enough crap from Parkinson for a lifetime.
Comes back and scores crucial goals to get us up. Made to be the fall guy when Parky started the season so badly. Told he could leave. Comes in after he sells Madine and scores some great goals. Showed in the last season that he's got more eye for goals than anyone we've had for years. Remember the goals at Fulham, Leeds, Villa. Scores the crucial penalty at Barnsley. Last game of the season dropped for Wilbraham? WTF?
After all that, comes on and changed the game. Not even given a chance this season and shipped out the back door now.
Parkinson you're an ungrateful tool and I sincerely think that you're only in a job because of Alfs goals.
Through with that man.

Really outclassed.
Very poor midfield in that every loose ball was picked up by Leeds.
Defensively we were slow.
Grounds missed our only chance of an equaliser.
Our passing was rank bad
Matthews - 5 OKish
Little - 4 - Poor on second goal
Wilson - 5 - Too slow in reactions
Hobbs - 4 - skinned for first goal. Headed chance straight at Leeds keeper
Grounds - 6 - OK for first game but missed great chance
O'Neill - 5 - Busy but no match for Leeds midfield
Vela - 5 - Just not in match
Oztumer - 6 - Looks hopeful. Took his goal well.
Donaldson - 5 - Not a right winger
Hall - 5 - probably his only appearance of the season. Just bullied off the ball by Leeds defence
Wildshut - 4 - Some runs but his ball control and subsequent passing was awful.

I know we all see the games differently but for the second time this week I'm wondering how Marc Iles is seeing the games. Last night no one got below a solid 6 and three players for 7 and a 6.5. He's fooling no one but has suddenly gone very Pro Club. Which is fine to be optimistic but he's jobs not for the club it's for the people and he should be writing for the readers. |

First half sounded awful on the awful Tower FM commentary. Conor hall and Donaldson played out of position typical Parky. He has seen how the U23's play (more than most Managers we have had who never turn up) so why make Conor, who is tough but is about Alf's size play the target man? He is a similar player to Alf. He is a poacher extraordinaire. Is Parky saving face (for not picking him last season) by giving him an impossible task especial with big defenders? Second half slightly better and Oztumer's goal great but two other easy missed chances and we could have won despite stats. I really hope Wildschut's control improves as he is so erratic. Watch the highlights and he CAN do it brilliantly but is SO insconsistent. Unfortunately I do not think we have the coaches with the capability to improve any of our players going on past performance. Not unhappy to be out of that cup as I fear we will be struggling at the end of the season and with those last group of fixtures and we need to focus on staying up yet again.

I agree about the coaching Pedro and I'm hoping that the inclusion of Julian Darby to first team responsibility will lead to a more possession based style. It's a big ask as it will still probably be Parky and Parkin who have final say but hopefully he can have some influence. It was rather naieve to play Hall up front on his own at Leeds and probably sums up the problem with Parky. I do wonder sometimes just what Parkinson sees because his decisions baffle me. Hall is as you say, like Alf, not a Madine type No 9 but a No 10. Maybe Parky just doesn't see playing that way as an option, he is so totally committed to lumping it to one up top. I think Saturday at Reading will be interesting because I fully expect him to revert to this system with no starting place for any of Hall, Oztumer or Wilschut. I see another dull 28% possession borefest with at best a draw against a team we should certainly be looking to beat. I hope he surprises me but I've said that so many times before without it happening so I don't really expect this time to be any different.
