These Int'l breaks are bleedin' boring. I was even thinking of going to help whites '63 whitewash his hallway again. It'd be more exciting! Are we really done for? Relegation wise I mean? Here's another winnable game and we normally do a lot better on the road ('cept last game). QPR may put in the extra effort to keep them out of relegation fear, but I don't see them in any danger.Can we step up, albeit games are running out for a last ditch attempt at safety. I thought not to include off field shenanigans, until something is definite. Maybe there's a thread for that. We may even see a rejuvenated Macgennis after his goal for N.I. He's a cert to start, is he not?  Alnwick, or Mathews? AndyL's speciality is goalkeeping and I'd be interested to hear some views on this as he had that blooper against Wigan. Would dropping him destroy his confidence, or is Alnwick a better keeper? QPR 1-1 BWFC |

Neither if we don't go into Administration rftr but tomorrow if we do. I genuinely expect confirmation on the takeover either tomorrow or Friday so neither a points deduction or transfer ban will apply if that's the case.
I'd almost forgotten about the game on Saturday but for me it's purely secondary to what happens off the pitch. Like you I expect us to lose, purely because Parkinson is still picking the team, so why consider it? Defeatist or realist, I have now resigned myself to us being in Division one next year as it's too late now for someone else to come in and there's no chance of Parky salvaging it. I'd probably go with your 3 for Rangers but not your 1 for us so that means a 3-0 defeat I'm afraid.

Don't forget my realistic offer to help to white wash the hallway again whites, or is the sale of BWFC going to be a whitewash? I'm watching Portimonense tomorrow night. They remind me of the Wanderers, a bit. |

International break boring? Was nice change to support a team intent on scoring goals and creating and full of youngsters. 10 goals in 2 games.
Give Parky the England job and Crouch and Glenn Murray would have a few extra caps.
If there is a new owner this end of season run in will be an audition for Phil to keep his job. If a few heavy defeats can see off Parky i wouldnt mind.

Well, we won't have to suffer watching Lowe again this season anyway. So at least he will not ruin our trip to Shepherds Bush as I feared he might.

They remind me of the Wanderers, a bit. Its actually an Almond White- wash Wots, then I've got to paper one wall and fettle the gloss. After that I've only got the Kitchen, Lounge, Dining Room and Orangery to do so I reckon I'll be finished before the end of the season after which I can hopefully watch our new owner and manager build a cracking team for next year. Like you I've basically given up on this season and I only hope that the takeover does go through and I can look forward to both a shiny new house and a shiny new team. |

I think the team owe us a win and we normally don't do that badly against Q.P.R. So I'm going for a win 2-1 or am I just dreaming and they will be just another team that's done the double over us there's been that many this season it seems as if we should be called Bolton lost hahahaha. COYWM

We’ve reached Saturday and hardly any talk of the match.
The takeover talk has driven me crackers – hope one day, despair next day; lies (no not lies – a clever use of words) from Ken Anderson so he again doesn’t pay the wages; some equally crackpot guy now on the brink of owning us – I just despair.
But we do have to play today!
I hate the international breaks, thank god they won’t affect us next season.
As I said in another thread, we have obviously accepted that we are relegated whatever words are coming from the management team. So are we going to plan for next season or just plod along with our desperate band of players? Some players presumably will not be here next season – Donaldson? – so why don’t we ditch all those who will be leaving us and play those that will be with us for league 1.
Surely Oztumer, Connell must start. A second striker must be tried (Hall?). Put another couple of the young players in.
Yes, we will probably lose but let’s get ready for next season.
I don’t believe that the above will happen. We will plod on to another pathetic negative defeat and achieve what?
Can’t see beyond yet another 2-0 defeat.
And please god that I don’t hear the name Bassini again!

Sorry, David, to be the one to mention the B word again, but I’ve just read an article in the Daily Telegraph, in which he says if KA agrees to the sale ( which ‘could happen at any moment,’ ) he plans to take Wanderers back into the Premier League ‘in three years.’ Miracle worker, among other things he is then!

Bassini took over Watford Football Club in a £440,000 takeover on 31 May 2011 when the club's previous parent company Watford Leisure PLC was de-listed from the London Stock Exchange and became Watford Leisure Limited.
Prior to taking over at Watford Bassini had been made bankrupt in 2007 following the failure of his business The Fox at Ibstone near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, which he blamed on his father.[2] Bassini was bankrupt for about a year and it was during this time that he changed his name to Bassini to have a "fresh start".[2]
Whilst chairman of Watford, Bassini had been due to meet with fans at the annual Fans Forum on 8 November 2011 but cancelled at the last minute citing ill health.[3] He then cancelled a subsequent local radio phone-in on 22 November 2011, again at the last minute and again due to 'ill health'.[4]
Bassini's tenure at Watford will forever be remembered by Watford fans as a period of clown-like incompetence and financial impropriety [5] culminating in the comical 'Safegate' scandal when just prior to the sale of the club in June 2012 Bassini called the police after an employee refused to hand him the keys to the club safe.[6] He'll also be remembered for always wearing a ridiculous red builders helmet whenever he gave an interview to the local paper.[7][8]
In June 2012, 13 months after he bought the club, Bassini sold Watford Football Club to Gino Pozzo, son of Giampaolo Pozzo and owner of Udinese and Granada.[9]
In November 2012 it was announced the $1.5 million Bassini owed to Watford Football Club for 'cash advances' was unlikely to be repaid.[10]
In March 2013 an independent disciplinary commission found Bassini guilty of misconduct and dishonesty over financial dealings on behalf of Watford and banned him from being involved in a position of authority with any Football League club for three years. The commission found he had been "dishonest in his dealings with the league and with his fellow directors" and "practised secrecy and deception" when he told neither the league nor the other members of the Watford board about his secret forward financing arrangements.[11]
Following Watford's defeat to Crystal Palace in the 2013 Championship play-off final, Bassini sent a series of gloating texts to local newspaper Watford Observer, reveling in his joy at their loss.[12] He has been described as an 'ugly, arrogant, and pathetic individual' by all that have come into contact with him.[13] After the paper published details of his texts, Bassini made a number of legal threats via his Twitter account,[14] none of which ever materialised.
In July 2013 Bassini added to his list of business failures when the High Court ordered his company Watford Leisure Limited be placed in liquidation.[15]
In March 2014, Bassini lost a High Court battle against the Russo brothers.[16] The former Watford FC directors claimed that they were owed more than £3.5 million by Bassini. He was ordered to pay the sums of £3.5 million and £135,000 (plus an additional £568,000 in interest and £150k in costs); a total of £4,353,000. He has been told that he cannot appeal.
During the trial, in which he was described as 'evasive' and a maker of 'empty threats', the court heard Bassini had made numerous accusations of conspiracies against him without providing any evidence. Among these were that the Russos still secretly owned half Watford FC with the Pozzo family and were orchestrating a campaign against him. Bassini, who had been in court for the whole trial, left before the end after complaining of 'feeling dizzy' following 'a slip' on the High Court steps.[17]
In June 2014 Bassini was made bankrupt for the second time. The bankruptcy order was made after Bassini failed to pay the sum of £37,500. During the hearing Bassini claimed not to own any property despite receiving over £1.5 million in cash advances from Watford during his tenure.[18]Wikipedia comments on him. I just hope it is a case of Anderson trying to bump up the price to legitimate bidders. |

Just one change from the Wigan debacle - Wheater for Hobbs.
So we were happy with the Wigan performance, were we? |

At long last we managed to take full advantage of a desperately poor opponent by taking home the three points. A really poor first half saw Wanderers concede possession and territory, but thankfully Rangers were too inept to do anything with it. Somehow we’d managed to get our noses in front after an excellent Magennis header was palmed back towards his own goal by a full stretch keeper. Buckley bundled what would have been an own goal in.
Second half was more attractive to watch and, on occasion, we played some good stuff. Rangers continued to dominate possession but never really threatened, except down the flanks, where Olkowski was on toast all game, being bullied and pushed around by Samuel and Taylr was frequently caught out of position, Thankfully Wheater, Beevers and Matthews all had competent games. From one of our better moves Ameobi beat his man on the right and put across a superb ball which Buckley contrived to smash onto the bar when it looked almost impossible to miss. Magennis also had a great chance which he fluffed, and Parky could be seen clearly telling him to keep his head up. Somehow, I don’t think he’ll be with us next year. We finally got our second when Ameobi cut inside and placed a shot which the keeper could only push out into the path of the onrushing Connolly who gleefully hammered it home. That, should have been that, but it being Wanderers, we froze at the sight of Wells and he curled in a good effort. Cue a lot of panicky defending, but in truth, they were just not good enough to get a second.
Connolly, Williams and O’Neil played with great heart, as did Ameobi in the second half. Buckley, for me, never adds enough and Magennis starts in his bustling way, but looks terribly short of confidence as soon as the first thing goes wrong.
We still look nailed on for relegation, but it would be good to go down with a fight and, perhaps, in 22nd place and only a couple of points from safety. Over the whole campaign, we don’t really deserve anything more.
