He’s also our top scorer, works extremely hard and has usually been one of our better performers. You can’t really expect a lot more from any of our strikers given the piss poor service they seem to get week in week out.

Fully agree. These ticket prices have ensured I won’t be going to a match I would’ve put down as a certain before the season starts. For 2 of us including fuel, food etc will be around £90 to £100 which considering the dross served up at the moment is nowhere near worth it. Tickets priced around £20 to £25 and I’d of been in.

The stark reality is that we are useless going forward without ameobi. We are a one man team unfortunately, and unless he stays fit, were going to be in and around the bottom 5 or 6 most of the season.

Donaldson was probably our best player. I’d like to see him out wide. We had a number of crosses go in where both wingers weren’t anywhere near the box. With him and Magennis/Doidge we’d at least be more of a threat from any crosses we get in.

You must admit that both the current form, results and performance wise is deeply worrying. It’s relegation form with no signs of turning around. I think Parkinson has had an incredibly difficult job but if we want to progress realistically he may need potting.

Think the worst part of it this year is I feel like there’s a team in there, last year it was clear as day that we didn’t have a championship side. This year we’ve probably get the best defence we’ve had in years, improved the striker position and added depth to the squad in general. Yet we’re still throwing out piss poor performances like that on a frequent basis. I think if Ken has the finances to sack PP and bring in a half decent replacement he will, but if he doesn’t it looks like another long season.

If he plays a midfield 3 like that against Ipswich he can fuck off. Oztumer may not have shined yet but he at least wants the ball and tries to get us playing. Wildschut shouldn’t ever play for us again, at least when Buckley plays he’s anonymous which is better than that sack of shit who gives the opposition the ball back every time he gets it. We got lucky last season to stay up with the amount of points we amassed, we can’t let it get to that stage again. We’ve brought in plenty more players this season including 2 new strikers we’ve actually paid money for. Unfortunately I think PP has hit his ceiling and we need someone to take us further.

His unwillingness to attack teams will be his downfall. He just constantly sets us up like the away side and his mind numbing football isn’t going to sell the tickets that KA keeps twining on about.

I’ve no idea how Wildschut is a professional footballer. The worst touch and end prodcut, can we send him back to Norwich? More Worryingly Williams and Lowe look like they’re out of steam already. We also don’t seem to be able to string more than about 5 passes together. Could be a long night.

It’s more a comment on our style of play rather than knocking oztumer. The 5 at the back works fine when you pass the ball out. Unfortunately for us we just lump it forward meaning the wing backs can’t get forward and we just get hemmed in for large periods.

Oztumer wouldn’t of affected that game today. In fact I don’t think many midfielders in the world would of, our midfield was bypassed for the entire game. I honestly can’t remember us stringing more than 5 passes together and if we carry on like that we’re in big trouble. On a positive note, Donaldson was inpressive and Doidge took his goal well. Surely only a matter of time before he gets a run of games.

Wilbraham starts.. you can see why we don't score many goals with line ups like this. Have the starting team scored 10 goals between them all season? Any hope I had has just gone down the drain.

Any streams for us shit fans?

Wheater looked to be carrying a knock, his mobility seemed to be hampered most of the game. As for beevers.. he was shocking and has been for at least half the season. Not sure what Dervite has done wrong to not be getting a chance. Wish we'd at least attempt putting little or Robinson in as both Flanagan and Taylor barely ever venture forward which left noone and ameobi with no help. Parkinson can't seem to get the team right. Must be our biggest game for a long time on a Saturday. Lose and we're down.

Surely you can see that's because of the way we're set up to play? Our philosophy hasn't changed since Madine left. There are plenty of teams with worse players than ours who don't lump it forward at the first offering. Unfortunately for Parkinson this is the only way he knows how to play, that's nothing against him, he's just limited as a manager.

Oh dear. Where is Dervite? Burkes always seemed to struggle in a back 3 from memory.

Very very poor tonight. We looked very leggy particularly Ameobi who needs resting for Barnsley. Have to agree with the criticism of Vela though, were effectively playing with 10 men while he's on the pitch. What does he actually bring to the game? Only positive was Noone who did well and deserves a start on Saturday.

Haha it's not too bad where I am luckily, moved a little further north just after I created this username!

Hi Birch, I run a Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom showroom a bit further north. Would have no problem coming your way and giving a fellow white a good deal. Would recommend buying your appliances direct with someone like AO. I know first had that its very very hard for us kitchen suppliers to compete direct, the chances are they've just added extra mark up on the kitchen to look competitive.

First half Parky got it horribly wrong. Way too defensive, the formation we play is useless without a target man as we have no one to hold play up to let our wing backs forward. Played much better with Henry on, he has to start on Saturday. Hard to see us winning on current form.

Late equaliser for Blackburn tonight.. there's every chance that we could be swapping leagues with clough looking at forests position.

Think the lad with a beard was Sinclair? Considering his size he won pretty much every 50/50 battle, in the air and on the floor.

They were always going too with the shape we played though. Derik and spearing just do not work, both want to play the same game. Add to that Whenever we had the ball today there was so few options that we inevitablely kept playing the long ball. Credit to Bristol though, they were very good and won every 2nd ball.

It was all to do with Parkinson today. We spent the entire game lumping it up to Long who had no chance of winning anything. Something should of changed at half time, it seems Parkinson is completely found out without a target man.

Can't really blame the freekick on him to be fair, that could easily be the best free kick in the prem all season. Thought he was a lot better than chambers to be fair.
