I certainly accept most of the points made as opposed to some of the proposals being put up for the West Brom game, which could affect the players, but we are stuck with Anderson until he gets his price, whatever he will accept, and in view of what has been achieved to date I think it in the club's best interest to support him until he gets his pound of flesh. One person who has escaped scot-free from all this is that so-called football problem solver, one Trevor Birch, who was called in when Eddie Davies wanted to call it a day. I don't know how much he charged for his services, but considering the assets at the club I lay most of the blame for current off-field problems at his door.In terms of replacing Parky, it would not cost as much to see how David Lee and Tony Kelly improved the team's performances,if the gardening leave idea was tried.

Listened to the first hour out walking, the wind and rain were pleasant relief from the familiar reports of little or no possession, poor passing and general lack of attacking nous. Bristol had hit the bar a couple of times and seemed to have been profligate in front of goal before the Wanderers took the lead against the run of play...could this be "one of those games " for City? Optimism was quickly shattered as the THREE immediate substitutions engineered the turnaround that their domination justified, and the Whites would drop to second from bottom.... still, only high-scoring West Brom up next. Watching the EFL show they again highlighted the number of youngsters on view in the Leeds -Derby game, and Adam Armstrong was involved in one goal and scored the other in Blackburn's victory...at a number of clubs it seems that youngsters are often seen to add positivity and excitement both on and off the field, but none of our youngsters are deemed ready for a place on the bench in a league campaign that has seen so many players struggle with demoralising regularity. It would obviously be a risk to plunge youngsters into the team set up as it is, and perhaps some of them are better served by lower league loan moves but I would rather see fresh young faces given the opportunity to help improve on field performances and hopefully galvanise support in the stands.... I realise the ploy backfired spectacularly at Ashton Gate a couple of seasons ago but the experience didn't appear to do Rob Holding any harm, and there seems little else to try given current circumstances. Personally gd, I don't think I want to see Parky's Neanderthal methods inflicted on any of our young players, however much I'd like to include them. I recall young Armstrong being critical of the constraints put on him by Parkinson after his move to Rovers and see only the same happening to others. The one chance he gave Connor Hall he stuck him up top on his own, totally isolated in a system totally foreign to him. That he failed says more of Parkinson than Connor and the same applies to Oz in my opinion. We will not see a change under Parkinson so pushing for it is futile. We will not see a sale by Anderson either so I'm prepared for our being stuck with both of them and the eventual relegation that brings.
