"You don't learn anything by talking. There are a lot of talkers, a lot of people who want to voice their opinion without being experts, esperts withot expertise, who think they know better." - Keith Hill to Marc Iles, today's BN. Is he trying to get me up for the game, or is he once again unnecessarily trying to justify why he's in the manager's job, something we have all eagerly accepted? So what's he trying to prove and why isn't he talking up his team for tomorrow ?

Your guess is as good as mine Kenglo, as to why he’s always trying to limit expectations. Tomorrow we play the weakest team in the division at home who despite being just ahead on points, have a worse record than we do. For goodness sake, if he can’t talk this one up when can he? He doesn’t have to be silly about it but surely saying no game is a must win when we all know that this one definitely is, just beggars belief. I’m finding it increasingly hard to warm to Keith. I know he loves the club and the town but I don’t need to keep hearing it. I don’t want to keep listening to his mambo jumbo interviews where I come away no wiser about his thoughts than I was before and I certainly don’t want to watch negative, sideways football which we’ve been forced to these last few weeks. What happened to the two winger, two up front, quick pass and move stuff we saw earlier, where’s all that gone. There’s much to admire about Keith but if he’s not careful he’s going to have the fans getting restless and once the novelty wears off things could change for him. Two wins against Southend and Sunderland and it’s all smiles but no wins and there could be trouble at t’mill?

I think he thinks himself as a bit of a philosopher. Or hears a line and thinks i'll pass that one off as my own. I mean who is he even talking about? Experts without the expertise? Have Carragher and Neville been going through our Posh game with a fine tooth comb? Have the red tops written sensationalist stories about Boltons form?
Does he mean the fans? Imagine that matchday experience with Dad and Lad. "What you reckon today then" "Couldnt possible say son, i dont have a full understanding of the inner workings of a football club and what goes into a matchday preperation. Would be unjust of me to even pass comment" "Right....shall we go the pictures instead?"
Im finding myself getting more detached from the club. The players themselves seem lacking in any character. I dont know the best eleven. They all seem so interchangeable. I know when hes assembling a team "banter" isnt top of the list but think this side has a Wheater shaped hole that the fans can see through.
Im confident. The last time i was this confident was before Accrington game...
Seriously think good chance we could have a game where everything turns good and we get 4 or 5.

Wow OM, 4 or 5 goals today, have you started early on the Christmas spirit? I’d love for you to be right because we need a boost but I’m afraid I just don’t see us doing anything but struggle at the moment. Try as I might the enthusiasm I felt a few weeks ago has truly evaporated. Whether it’s to do with results, Keithys ramblings or as you say, lack of charisma from the players, I don’t know but from what you say I’m not alone in that. I suppose you could also use this thread and that on the BN site as a guide where contributors seems to have also dropped off. There was a chance for KH and Flicker to really bond people together in the adversity which I think has been completely lost. Let’s face it, if we can’t be confident today and if KH can’t talk that confidence up, then when can we? I’m extremely disappointed in KH and I think it’s maybe time somebody had a quiet word with him to lighten up and talk more sense rather than the gobbledegook he’s spouting just now. So I’m hoping you’re right and I’m driving back to Barnsley tonight with a smile on my face, 3 points closer to salvation and confidence we can put one over on Parky on Boxing Day. Anything less and I think serious questions will need to be asked about KH being the man for this situation!!

I had a choice to make about going today or going Boxing Day I chose to go on Boxing Day as I felt that would be the better game to attend. I think today’s game will be a very scrappy not much football fight to the last minute nail biting stuff and Boxing Day to be a bit more football from us and hoof ball from Sunderland so I chose Boxing Day because I want to see a Parky side playing against us. 🤞for four points from the two games no matter what happens hope you all have a safe and very merry Christmas and maybe a better New Year COYWM

Yeah whites, started early on the baileys to predict that. But think if every player managed to put in an 8/10 performance under Parky that would mean a solid stubborn protection job. A tireless chase for lone striker and a 1-0 smash and grab.
I'm still riding the wave that if it clicks Verlinden firing quality balls to a potent Murphy. O'Grady winning everything and Dodoo going through thier defence like butter on a crumpet. Lowe, Murphy keeping it ticking and full backs overlapping. None of that possible under PP.
So yeah if you were picking results from the form guide youd steer clear but it could happen.

1-1. 4 to go eh w63.
Got to admit thinking our "fear" of losing Verlinden just seems preposterous. Like Michael Oneill thinks were struggling in the championship so will look to bolster in Jan by bringing in an airy fairy inconsistent winger who is in and out of the bottom side in L1.
