Will whites 63 return if we win the next two matches? Well, I feel confident on this one, so we'll be halfway there. They haven't won a game yet, so hopefully their first isn't against us. We need to build on our away form (can't believe I'm typing that lol)
We seriously need some match reports after the game too, so's I can read them with my coffee.
Onward and upward, COYW's

I don't think the result is all important for whites, he clearly is at loggerheads with the style played so a 1-0 win wont change that, nothing will unless we take the game to a team and show more ambition.
I don't think we will and I've come not to expect it. When a chairman gives you £200k and gets rid of 15 of your players you have to take that into account. If Parky can win any games then he has to play that way. I've changed my tune a lot, or prioritised, for us we need survival, then we can get Ken out, investors in, then we can think about Parky and how we move forward

Don’t usually comment pre game, but I have to say I like the look of Parky’s selection. Let’s hope the players can find a way to win the game by dominating it.

Well that first half was dire. Seemed tentative and lacking in confidence. Magennis isolated. Otzumer zero impact. Wildschut unable to beat a man. Noone a shadow of the man who played on Saturday. Some dreadful passing. Luckily the defence are just about on it. Good job as their front two are a handful. No way we'll score unless something changes. And all this with 51% possession.
Maybe we should play all our games away this season.

Oh dear, this is bad. We look far more comfortable giving the ball away and then defending the balls coming in, like a dog with a stick. When we have it all we do is give it back to go and chase it again.
Not only have we not had a shot on target, I don't think we've have one off target. A corner. A free kick. I can't remember us being in their half.
Hard working, committed, plucky? Yes. But this is one of the poorest teams were facing and it looks like an FA Cup 3rd round match where Horwich RMI have drawn Chelsea.
We look inferior in almost all departments. No composure. Panic stations, just a team that are not as all good enough for the standard of this league.
Call that harsh if you like, after the start we've made I understand why people think we've turned a leaf but this is as bad a half as I've seen, ever.

Well, 1-0 Wanderers with a Buckley goal. Seems the substitutions are working. Unfortunately, I missed the game, but no matter, it's results that count. Why can't people be happy with that? Sorry Oom, but I don't agree with you, or whites. Maybe when we are doing a Megson, Coyle, or Feedman, but how do you sleep at night.
We are up there with the big boys, so let's enjpy it while we can. Maybe whites' mates will drag him along. I hope so. He needs cheering up and so do you Ooom.
Going shopping with the missus, so hopefully there'll be a few match reports I can have with my coffee when I return.
Onward and Upward... COYW's

It did improve a bit after Ameobi and Buckley came on and Sammi did create the goal. And Otzumer started to show some nice touches. Fortunately Brum weren't as effective in the second half as the first. Alnwick didn't have a lot but he did a lot of flapping on crosses.
We are still very much a work in progress. BUT I still think we'll do OK. Both Birmingham and Reading have been no great shakes.
But third in the table and level on points at the top. Musn't grumble eh?

1st 10-15 mins I thought we were OK passed the ball quite well...definetley see a slight change in style...hoofball seems less...after that 2 very average teams with not a lot to offer...Alnwyck? flaps a lot at crosses...subs made a differnence...very scruffy goal but they all count....I,ll enjoy(if thats the word) it while I can....

I thought we were very solid tonight, keeping the ball more in the second half especially and tigerish in our defensive work. O'Neil and Lowe despite each making a wild pass were excellent throughout.
The first half was poor. Distribution from defence was dire and poor Oztumer had no chance as balls flew over him or simple passes were ignored. Noone ran into cul de sacs continuously as did Wildshut. He at least almost got on the end of a through ball but where a dink would have opened our account he couldn't find it.
In in the event we were indebted to Alnwick for his one handed acrobatics tipping over a deflected shot. Superb save
Ameobi lilt up the second half and the sweeping pass he made had almost when crossed led to a goal but his return looping ball was perfect. I couldn't see if it went straight in or was touched by Magennis or a defender! ? In addition to Ameobi's brightness at last we saw three glimpses of Oztumer . First a dash and near one two then a fabulous lob for Buckley and best of all a one footed take down of a high through ball. What a talent he has if only we start to play to him, please. He made three poor passes and struggled defensively but I at least want more. The crowd seemed to appreciate him?
We managed added time really well. They had one near miss but otherwise faded in the second half Alnwick 8 Olkowski 8 Wheater 7 Beevers 7 Taylor 6 Lowe 7 O'Neill 8 Noone 5 Wildscht 5 Magennis 8 Oztumer 6 Ameobi 8 Buckley 7

In perspective, Blackburn have decent firepower going forward but we still managed a clean sheet and a win v a very poor Reading side and we won. same for WBA too There’s tons of ups and downs to come this season but for the moment, I’ll take every point as a positive and joint top is not to be sneazed at. As a guide, for the 25 league games to the year end last season, we amassed 22 points, we now have 10 points after the first 4 games. That’s a massive step change. Let’s just hope PP doesn’t win Manager of the Month😬😬😬😬😬 COYWM
