Friday afternoon – we have a match tomorrow and not a mention of it on here.
Has indifference (or despair) totally taken over?
Anyway, I really see nothing for us tomorrow. Noone is suspended so Ameobi will just slot in. Other than that, he may do his usual juggle with the back four.
I still dream of us putting on an attacking refreshing display but really I just see a dull negative defeat. Please, please prove me wrong.

I think indifference has definitely set in.
Brentford is a game we have struggled with in the past and its sinply because they attack teams. That leaves them open and other teams can take advantage and counter punch. We sit on the ropes so they can just carry on and i fully expect that pattern tomorrow.
I wish there was the element of Parky being sacked. He should be playing each game as if its his last. Not worming after 20 mins get it changed. get 2 strikers on. Try something instead of usual. 65 mins- Buckley for Noone, 81 Doidge for Magennis. 1-0 defeat oh well, looks like we gave it a go. Will do for me.

Not so much indifference but more a reluctance to simply reiterate the same views for the umpteenth time. My Christmas list would include a team selection devoid of ineffective wingers....Vela, Williams, O'Neill or Lowe and Oztumer in midfield, with Ameobi playing behind/ around Doidge. Not sure if the back 4 needs changing, they might be stronger if more support from midfield is forthcoming, which might be the case if the team isn't continually depleted by the selection of ineffectual wingers who repeatedly concede possession or fail to make inroads when given the opportunity. As ever I hope all those who make the trip tomorrow have a productive day and trouble free journeys, and that somehow the Whites confound expectations and achieve a positive result.

Ive had enough of disagreeing with crackpots who defend Parkinson. Ive also had enough of hoping he would be removed. So I no longer care what happens to BWFC while he is in charge. Heres wishing everyone all the best for Christmas, and I will be back when hes gone. Its doing my head in, so its goodnight from him.

Nah, c'mon woppy. I'm not having that. There's trouble ahead with the finances despite all the reassurances and it'll be while Parky is still manager. You'll have to have a say. Greydad is correct about the same old crap being reiterated, but you might also say that of Parky, Anderson and whichever player gives us the old "just wait til the next game". The club is a shambles on and off the pitch and the blame lies directly at Anderson's door. It's so bad that like whites and others, I can't even get the energy to go on to ifollow. So, Oom is correct on that stance. Indifference has set in. What would you do on a sunny Saturday in the Algarve? Stay in and watch that drivel, or go out and have a stroll on the beach with the missus, go fishing, or go to my favourite restaurant? It's okay this weekend 'cos United are the late game.
Choice would kill ya!

They use terms like "performed miracles" and "done exceptionally". Hang on...so Reading have employed(set to) a guy with no experience in England. No one has ever heard of. When a club legend(not my words) is performing miracles in the same league and would be available at a tenth of the cost? Why on earth are they not going all out for this exceptional manager with strong links to the club?

Why on earth are they not going all out for this exceptional manager with strong links to the club? Had it been left to the locals OM, I suspect it would have been Parky but by all accounts the Chinese owners didn't fancy him and to be fair who can blame them? I think the feeling of hopelessness is because we don't have anyone in the club to get behind, not the owner, not the manager and none of the players. I can't ever remember such a time. At least last season we had Alf, but we don't even have that now. To be honest, I'm largely uninterested what happens tomorrow. I expect another defeat and inept performance so it would be a nice surprise if we got the points. Ken must be kicking himself at losing out on compo for Parky to Reading which would have helped with two problems. Now it's the status quo and what to do with Parky, who he must be losing confidence in. It will be interesting to see what happens if we do lose tomorrow to a team on as bad a run as ourselves as surely even Ken can only defend it for so long?

But again if he was doing a great job are Sheff Weds interested? Where Southampton interested? Is anyone at all interested? Would even Bradford take him back?
In terms of miracles. Lets put it this way. Leicester to win the league 5000/1. Think Greece to win Euros 500/1.
Bolton to win promotion from league 1. 7/2 max. Bolton to stay up 5/2??
Miracles!

Love your enthusiasm Chip. Wish my memory was as bad as yours. Enjoy your day and try and put football to one side at 5pm.
We dont generally play open enough to get a hiding but im thinking 3-0 HT and 5-1 FT.

Brentford go into this game with a marginally worse record over the last five games than we do ( 1 point, rather than two) and are supposedly missing a couple of players. I think this has a goalless draw or, possibly 1-0 home win writen all over it.
I can’t say I’m looking forward to watching on ifollow. I’m in total awe of those who are making the trip to London. Like Davidm, any enthusiasm generated by our early season exploits is gone and I find myself looking with incredulity at all the sackings, while our doughty leader plods on. Read an interview with Martin O’Neil this morning. He’d love to return to club management. He just might be worth a phone call, Ken.

Good luck and safe journey home, hopefully with 3 points miracle or not!!

There are any number of quality managers who would love a phone call Alp, but none of them will get one with the current financial situation. In fact I was thinking the other day, I bet Parky and co are actually glad Ken couldn't pay their bonuses because if he had he could probably have afforded to bin them but not doing so keeps them as safe as houses in their jobs. Ironic really isn't it, the two worst managerial chumps in the league with the safest job!!! As for today, I think we should scrape a draw but I just have a feeling we might fluke a 1-0 win? Parky may certainly not be a good manager but he has tended to be a very lucky one.
