Yes, that was a real sickener, the lads did well today but Sammi being sent off is a major blow. Another game gone though and still no points but if we can take Norwich to the wire there's no saying we can't hold our own against the others so bring them on.

Maybe we could of had a point and maybe we MIGHT have been unlucky, but the bad run continues, We get no points for todays game and Reading are looking at some Portuguese chap. Its been another bad day with about 28% possession. When is this nightmare gonna end?? |

Yes Woppy, no points again and it doesn't look like Reading will come in for Parky after all. With a reputed £100m to spend imagine how he could have wasted it? So it's not been a very good weekend after all and who knows what to expect for next week? If the players still don't get paid, surely the EFL must look to take action?

First some context. Norwich have a sporting director and coach. All teams at the club are made to play the same way. U20s are played at U23s. The best U20-23 play in Holland by twinning with a Dutch div 2 side.
Yesterday Norwich's back 4 were aged 18, 19, 19 and 22! Their best creative midfielder Cantwell was last year's U23 captain despatched to Holland last February. He tore our midfield to shreds at will yesterday.
We played as second best from the off. We didn't get a touch for fully five minutes.
We defended quite well. Some good blocks but we were pressed back. Their German Borussia reserve buy slalomed through and shot weakly at Alnwick.
We meanwhile had broken through. The downside of their midfield of Oztumerish players was defensive. Williams, our best player by far hit a good shot and Buckley also came close. Isolated but promising. Ameobi showed no interest whatever but was petulantly booked after hacking down an opponent by whom he had been easily dispossesd. Doidge was lightweight and on the flanks Norwich's young academy graduates were too quick up and down.
Half time approached. A weak shot was watched into the net by a presumably unsighted Alnwick whose distribution throughout was abysmal.
Second half they began on top. Lowe tried a short pass to Ameobi. It was poor. Ameobi was beaten to it , watched a breakaway, cross scramble, 2-0.
The game was over really but Norwich's young defence tired and left Ameobi unmarked and to everyone's amazement he scored.. we then had a good patch.Magennis came on ; didn't do much but added some power. A knock back found Beevers who lashed it in 2-2
This galvanised Norwich who popped back to our end, seeing Ameobi dismissed for a lazycshirt pull- nothing at all not worthy of a caution but off he trotted. Magennis thought about covering but opted not to. Free kick, cross . Good determined shot. Alnwick didn't move. 3-2. Parky sputtering at referee. In passing some Norwoch fans hope Matthews returns. He is thought promising and with experience capable of besting Krul.
Alnwick 4 Hobbes 6 Olkowski 6 Taylor 6 Beevers 7 (very good) Lowe 4 Williams 7 Noone 2 Ameobi 3 Doidge 4 Buckley 5

How can you ever leave Oztumber out of the squad when you have 6 outfield subs? Again 6 subs and how can you not find a spot for an U23 in there?
I just don't get the thinking behind it? I don't understand the Ireland signing either.
I dont think in a million years Reading will consider Parky. All you need to do is a five minute look at the form guide to see hes struggling in this league. Terribly.
Have Reading really got much better squad of players than us?

Now I'm sober and calmed down from yesterday. Another excellent post from Andy, but is this what we have become getting beat nearly every game or picking up a point now and again and we are almost happy cause if we are then Parky is doing a wonderful job and I will be strait down to the ReMac to buy my half season ticket just to watch us almost win or draw and narrowly get beat. We have Dirty Leeds next then Brentford, Rotherham, Stoke and Hull which in my opinion we should get 7 points or it is well and truly curtains for us. COYWM |

Thanks Andy, informative as usual.
We too have good youngsters, but never given a chance.

Just a few comments – based only on listening to Jack Dearden’s ridiculous commentary (he told us that we were listening to BBC Radio Manchester 15 times in the first half!) on Radio Manchester, Bolton News comments and the highlights on TV & Internet:-
- We seem to be celebrating a defeat,
- We are dreadfully poor at clearing loose balls on the edge of the area,
- We were static in defence whilst Norwich moved around the box and found space,
- Ameobi acted ridiculously. Both were legitimate yellow cards – for the second one, there was no need as a white shirt would have got the ball,
- Where was the defending for the third goal? – man stood absolutely unmarked in the box,
- Alnwick seems to have a propensity for standing rooted to the spot when “edge-of-the-area” shots come in. First two goals beat him at his near post.
- I am sick of so-called experts saying that Phil Parkinson has done a wonderful job – Sue Smith & Colin Murray on Quest. No he hasn’t – he has stupefied us,
- AndyL’s points regarding the age of the Norwich players shames our management team.
I also agree that ALL teams belonging to BWFC (1st team, U23s, U21s, etc) should play the same style but please God NOT Phil Parkinson’s style of football!!

Yes Andy, I thought the same about Colin Murray on Quest supporting Parky yet completely vilified Luhukay at Wednesday, as he also did the week before. Sadly, given the situation Parky's had to endure since being here, it takes all the attention away from how poor at his job he is. I think it's also having an efffect on some of our supporters who feel the Anderson thing somehow reflects results, despite the fact they've been like that since he walked into the club. I know this is a time when true Wanderers fans should get behind the club but I refuse to be blackmailed by either Anderson orvParky into supporting something that is effectively destroying the club. The sooner it's brought to a head, whatever the eventual outcome, the better for me. I just can't stand this much longer and would rather just give up all together as nothing else in football enthrals me these days.
