Sheff Wednesday FC v BWFC

Just ONE word

Indefensible!!!!

From a positive perspective I thought we played ok first half with Olly and Sammi linking well but no cutting edge in the middle. Now the negatives. Please tell me why he tool Olkovski off who didn't look tired. Secondly why take Magennis off and leave Wildschut on who was totally ineffective? Throwing Doidge and the woeful Donaldson on completely wrecked what flow we did have. I'm afraid our manager once again proved his in game management is non existent and worse even than his starting point. Once again these players convince me that the players are good enough with a proper manager and surely it must be time Anderson acts.

Agree entirely Pedro. I'll watchthe Wigan game and if it's as bad as this and/or no favourable result, then I'mdone for the season.

Wots. Is there any evidence at all that suggest it will be better?

I was foaming at the mouth from end of August because we were winning and playing awful and I knew out luck would out. I said on record that I thought we would be bottom 3 by Halloween think I said. I didn't honestly think it would be this bad.

If Ken is settling for Parky and Parky is happy with that then why should we all bother. PP is the least ambitious man we've ever had at the club with no sense of personal pride.

Parkinson your destiny is league one and lower. I just hope we cut you loose before then

Ken Anderson is making me wish we’d have stuck with Dean Holdsworth!!!!!
At least he’d have had some playing connection to the club and would feel the fans frustrations if it was as bad as this.
Can one honestly genuinely see Ken saying to Phil “come on Phil, your times up pal, you heard the crowd tonight”
NO
That will not happen for many reasons
1, Ken knows nowt about football
2. Ken is scared of sacking Phil
3. Ken knows that the fans have not even made a murmur of discontent
4. Ken is skint and cannot afford to sack him.

I’m coming up to my 40th year watching the Wanderers, (not as many as some on here) but enough to say that this has got to be the worst side ever whilst I’ve watched them

Wots, I haven't posted for a while because I honestly feel that there seems little of any originality that I can add to an increasingly demoralised series of posts...I actually had a ticket for tonight, and an afternoon visit to my brother's planned in Rotherham, but I have been suffering with a chest complaint, was unfit to make the journey and so was spared what the commentary suggested was an all too familiar poor performance. I hope to be ok for the Wigan game, but like so many others I am finding it difficult to see what the manager can do to elicit the confidence, resolution and skill reqired to compete more successfully at this level, despite the weekly changes in personnel that he has orchestrated...I can't remember his exact words but John McGinlay opined that no matter what substitutions have been made there is little or no effective deviation from the system, one which has seen 1 win in 15. Jack Dearden mentioned the awful stat that it is now 74 games since the Wanderers won after going a goal down...seems far too many to me and perhaps I misheard, but if it's true it's a real worry. Whatever was said and/or done last October to transform the dreadful start that looked to have blighted the season, and which resulted in a most welcome upturn of results and raising of communal spirits, needs to somehow be rechanneled before 3.00 p.m. on Saturday and offer some respite to  both the long suffering season ticket holders and those expected to pay the inappropriately high prices being charged on the day. I am not optimistic, but perhaps the derby context might at least ignite a few sparks that might help pierce the gloom, I really hope so.

Thanks Wots, I think the rattle in my chest will echo the rattle of supporters in an empty stadium the way things are going! Oh for a chairman such as the guy at Rotherham... local businessman,a stadium less than half the size of ours,but a core of 8000 to 9000 home fans whose loyalty seems to be rewarded by generally positive performances and decent results at home. They will struggle to stay up, and last night saw them concede a last minute goal in their second 2-2 home draw in 4 days....the 2 matches were against Sheff. Utd and QPR, teams way above them in the league and I'm sure that fans frustrations at dropping home points were assuaged by the excitement and entertainment on offer in those matches. The Derby victory seems such a long way away, and whilst it was achieved by the team adopting the manager's "tried and trusted" tactics they were at least carried out successfully and effectively...I left the stadium on a real high, not least because I never felt we would lose the game, and was able to bask in the pleasure of seeing a very good footballing side made to struggle to break down a Bolton team that displayed energy, resolution and effective defending of a single, but well executed goal and despite little possession thoroughly deserved the win...why has the team struggled to replicate those same virtues since? Should that particular team have been given a run of games before changes of personnel? ( Alnwick for Matthews was understandable although unfortunate for the latter, who acquitted himself very well against Derby, but why tinker with the back 4 the following week at Ipswich?) Sadly, the team has not enjoyed a settled run in terms of selection for a long time, and whilst I understand that injuries, suspensions etc come into play, the Derby game should have been the springboard for better things, instead of which it appears an increasingly distant oasis in a footballing drought of points, goals and excitement.... not helped raise the gloom but helped vent some frustration!
