I actually thought we played a bit better tonight in a game that was easier on the eye than many of our recent performances. I recognise that I may be in a minority here, but thats the way I saw it. There were some positives: Connell showed confidence and some neat touches and a fine eye for a diagonal ball, Pritchard looks as good as Williams from Everton and should be given a chance. on the other hand the defence looked at sea from the start, maybe because of the late forced change bringing in Olkowski. Little was predictably ring rusty and had a poor game and the same could be said of Matthews. Hobbs , Beevers and Lowe were not a lot better. Murphy shows good touches, but theres something missing with him. And what lunacy caused Parky to play Noone as a wing back? Don’t repeat please. The service to Magennis was woeful. He may lumber about, but its to his credit that he even tries to reach some of the excuses for passes. And I agree completely about the crosses. Far to many didnt get beyond the first man.
Having said all that, the game was open for the whole 90 mins and for me would have been an ideal match to play Oztumer. I think Bristol committed 2 or 3 fouls all game. Parky could and should have played a creative passer like Oztumer rather than Lowe or Murphy.
Despite my moans, I actually enjoyed the game more than usual and its sad that we’re not going to get a money spinner in round 5.

Ahh well just a few more league defeats and we will be relegated back to division 1 then we can start winning some games hahahaha COYWM I dont see that. It does all depend on who if anyone takes us on but last promotion was down to Kens enthusiasm for making a fast buck. This time he doesnt give a toss. I dread to think of next seasons squad. Parky will probably try and get Dion Dublin to quit Homes Under the Hammer and get his boots back on. Genuine think we could have a decent midfield with Vela, Connell, Oz, Murphy, Pritchard and Noone on the right side(left). Used to think defence was solid but theres a mistake in any combo you pick. Probably because they never have a buffer.

That's just it though Ken J we all truly believe we have the makings of a half decent team that we think could keep us up, but unfortunately our superb manager Parky still wants to play fossils that are just looking for a last pay packet before hanging there boots up instead of playing the kids who have fire in there bellies and a desire to win and progress but time will tell.

Just read Parky’s comments on the performance - “different class;” and Noone playing superbly at wing back etc etc. Despite doubts about his tactical prowess I used to have some respect for Parky. Not any longer. He’s totally deluded and it’s that blinkeredness that will surely help condemn us to the drop.

I don't know whether to feel sorry for him or admire him for his resilience but either way he must by now be losing any confidence he might have had. There are two potential events next week for me. A defeat against Reading on Tuesday surely has to be the limit and Anderson must act, or by the end of the window, no money has been found for new players and Parky walks. Nobody could blame him and at least it would keep a relegation off his CV and he would still be due any bonuses owed for last year. Having said that, I've thought other points were critical points but nothing has happened so it may be that way again. Whatever, the result against Reading seems critical, we must win to have any serious chance of escaping. I was reading yesterday about how positive Gomez was about his Reading players and how much better he believes they are than they think they are themselves. How nice it must be for players to know their manager feels that way rather than know Parkinson has little belief in you. We may of course still pull a rabbit out of the hat before transfer end but even if we did would Parky know how to use him? I doubt it and as we've always said it's Parky's system rather than team that's the problem and I don't see that changing.

Just watching Wimbledon beating West spam 3-0 , Millwall beat Everton 3-2 , Shrewsbury held wolves 2-2, Newport held Middlesbrough 1-1 all playing attacking football ohh for a manager that would like to win a game and not go for a draw and pray for a win. I'm so totally pissed of being a wanderers fan at the moment it hurts, so sick of the present management and chairman of our club it's as if nobody except us fans care what is happening to our club.

Im surprised at you W63, I’d never have attributed comments of ‘pulling a rabbit out of a hat’ and Parkhoofson in the same sentence!!!! Even Chip looks like he’s called time on his beloved BWFC

If so, he could have brought us back up next season, only, not with Parkhoofson still in charge😡 We seem to be haunted by goalscorers from Bolton past at the moment. Doidge with his 3rd this week. Tom Eaves cant stop. Connor Wilkinson a regular name on the vidiprinter. Stephen Dobbie has some sort of record north of the border. ALF is Mayor of Sydney. Even Proccy seems to be still getting a wage somehow. Oddly enough £6M washing machine loaned out without making a mark. £3M wonderkid not getting a mention at Rochdale. Maybe getting told youre not good enough for Bolton is the ultimate wake up call and the main motivation for a decent career. I know why cynics would say "at that level" i would say Donaldson wouldnt get 10 goals at any level. So yeah i would take Doidge back tomorrow.

I can't access the BEN on any of my devices and haven't been able to for some days. Is anyone else having similar issues?

The thing is you need game time unfortunately Doidge just didn't get it with us. All top quality strikers need help i.e. crosses someone else to feed of sadly Parky only plays one way hoof up top and hope it sticks. I am also fed up with people saying he's found his level the goals don't change whatever league you are in they stay in the same place feed him and he will score whoever we get up front. COYWM

Been watching a video of the Reading - Bolton play off final. What joy to see midfielders (Thommo and McAteer) running with the ball into the penalty area and four forwards on the pitch too (Coyle, Moose, McGinley and de Freitas). Ah those were the days (including a sleepy defence for Readings second).
