Another game coming up which has been completely lost in the wages/club sale/panto events of the last week.
It is hard to see anything other than a defeat.
Will the manager stick with the so-called successful team from the last 2 matches (Ameobi replacement excepted)?
Will he revert back to type and bring a defensive midfielder in?
Logic says he should replace Ameobi with Oztumer but history says that O’Neill or Wilson will be in there.
I can’t see much other than little or no possession and hanging on for dear life.
Let’s hope for some form of miracle!

Arguably the most difficult match of the season so far and sadly without our most influential player, it doesn't bode well. How will the players react, at least they've now been paid. Like you David, I'd love to see Oz in but I just can't see it, especially as he wasn't even on the bench last week. If Parky does revert to his defensive mentality, I fear the very worst but sadly I do think as you say it will again be Wilson or O'Neil who comes in. The news of Marc Iles ban today can't help sentiment so let's just hope the players can put that behind them and concentrate on the job. I'm afraid though, I can only see a defeat looming so I'll go for a 3-1 win to Leeds.

I know I don't go anymore but Ive always followed the fortunes of my favourite football team. It hurt me when I stopped going but I cant let go completely. I still love BWFC, and I always will. However, Im finding it hard to be interested while Parkinson and his brand of hoofball is still on the agenda. I expect a good hiding, and refuse to accept improved recent performances, Still lost with little possession, nothings changed. 4-1 Leeds

On my way to London for a day of shopping so I'm not to bothered about what happens but as others have said the fans and the club will still be here long after the Anderson muppets and manager have left. I feel sorry for all the season ticket holders and fans who still go on the hope we will play some good football and win. Sadly I can't see anything other than another backs to the wall defeat but hope for a point COYWM

I would like to see Ameobi and Doidge try and strike it up again.
I have a feeling PP will wake up in a cold sweat about how good Leeds are and revert to a holding 5 midfield and Magennis living off scraps.
There are no great teams in this league for me. No Liverpool counter punches and no City Masterclasses. The difference between top and 20th is just a little bit of extra consistency.
No reason why we shouldn't play any team at home and not go for all 3 points and that for me is two up front, Oz pulling strings. And we need to find out which of these "flair" players actually is going to turn up Buckley, Noone, Wildshut. Start a match with the intention of finishing it not betting dragged off after an hour when you've faded or manager has given up.
2-2 if we attack. 0-3 if were sitting ducks.

Doidge cannot do it on his own so Magennis will lead the line and I revert to my 0-3 prediction. We could try and use Donaldson with Doidge. But I say that in blind hope rather than any real confidence of evidence that would work. Remember the Liverpool replay we played Mills as lone striker. Getting to that stage. Beevers will be leading scorer soon anyway

Not sure what to expect re: team selection but Oztumer should start in the absence of Ameobi..not as a support striker, but as the only other player capable of that something different in the final third. Would also like Vela to start right midfield, but we will see what transpires just after 2.00 p.m. It looks a daunting task whoever is selected, but if ever some good cheer was needed it is now....and a couple of home goals and some excitement will help keep the cold at bay up in the increasingly depleted part of the N S Upper that I inhabit.

I’d have been reasonably happy with this selection had he got rid of our useless none wingers and played Oztumer at the peak of a diamond and Doidge up front in a two. As it is, all I can see, as Davidm predicted is more of the, 30% possession, holding on and trying to eke out a 0-0 or 1-0. Don’t think we’ll do it.

Beevers will be leading scorer soon anyway I actually think Wildschut would do well up front with Doidge if Ameobi isn't there. He has the size strength and pace to worry defenders when he runs at them but I don't expect Parky to think outside the box so I agree, it will probably be back to Magennis, one up top and two wrong footed wingers!!

Another desperately poor performance. Indeed, as a team, we are clearly going backwards. Alnwick made a couple of routine saves, but his distribution was utterly abysmal. Olkowski’s sad decline continues. Hobbs and Taylor were both poor, only the Redcar Rock can take any solace from his performance. Midfield barely existed, I once more fail to see the point of the feeble Buckley and foul laden Noone. Both should be left out in future. Williams looks exhausted and badly needs to come out of the firing line, Lowe is dire and Vela totally out of form. Magennis was in Pontus whatever his name is’s back pocket all afternoon and the substitutions changed nothing.
As chiphill says, some may say losing to the top two by a single goal is no disgrace. The problem is Leeds were rubbish themselves. Countless errors and invitations to us to attack with misplaced passes in their final third. We spurned them all. I don’t think the penalty was a penalty, though the ref in my view favoured Leeds routinely.
The team looks devoid of confidence, ideas and inspiration. Anderson, to coin a phrase, must do whatever it takes to get those qualities back into the squad before it’s too late. Thanks to the other wretched teams around us, we’re still only a win from being out of the drop zone. Trouble is, I can’t see another win happening at all.

Yes, desperately poor. It is difficult to blame the midfield, hoof up the park by passes them, then all they can do is defend. Throw ins too are predictable, invariably to a head, not to feet, no control. Team selection seems unscientific, without rationale, or plan b. Substitutions weird Why bring Oztumer on at the end, when he could not contribute, why replace striker with striker, when all three wingers were poor. I could go on. But some, like Alan Gowling, praise PP and put all the problems down to money, yes a problem, but not the only one, the squad is a Champioship one chosen by PP and deserves better than in the bottom three.

Do you ever get the feeling of your in our very own ground hog day as we just seem to keep doing the same things every weekend with the same outcome. Lost 1-0, 3-2 , 1-0 nick a point. I wish I could say I don't care but I do I can't believe that we are happy with what's going on. What can we do as fans not turn up to games I don't anyway but I'm going next Saturday. I really find it hard not to go but it's in my blood I must be mad 😡
