At what point in their careers have Wheater, Beevers, Henry and Pratley been good on the ball? 

 

I've watched Parky screaming his head off as Wheater/Beevers launch another diagonal ball with no purpose. He clearly doesn't tell them to do that all game. But as we saw against Brum when teams sit behind the ball, you need something to break them down.We passed it around ok first half, but had nobody able to change gears to get in behind them. As the game went on and patience wore thin the ball was launched more and more. Even Parky said after it wasn't the plan. It happens.

'it happens'

 

week in week out?

Yeah but he keeps doing it so why isn't Parky sorting it.

I wish everyone would fuck off with this Madine bullshit, it boring as fuck

Alnwick / howard

 

Dervite / Wheater Beevers

 

Madine / Alf / Wilbraham / Walker / Ameobi

 

whoever has played in the net or that back 3 has 99 times out of a hundred launched the fucking thing up to one of the other 5 or anyone else who has been up there. so dont tell me thats not on instruction over 2 years

 

and if its not, the gormless fuckers want bringing to task day in day out in training 

I wish everyone would fuck off with this Madine bullshit, it boring as fuck

Well said.

A Bradford mate of mine told me when we got Parky that is main tactic was it hit long from the back to a big man upfront so is Parky telling the players to do this or are the players at the back that useless they cannot pass but only launch it long. I know what I think I am with Cowdrill on this one.

The problem is none of our midfielders show for the ball. Whether that's down to parky, or a lack of confidence/ability.. i dont know

Did you watch the first half hour or so of the Birmingham game? They passed the ball, but couldn't find a way to create chances. The crowd at one point got bored as it went sideways and shouted for Beevers to "get it forward". He did.

anyone who can sit there and claim the players in our squad 'cannot play another way' wants their heads testing

 

professional footballers these men. all played at various different levels at various clubs all under managers who will of had their own way of playing. to even get to a level where they are now they have had to have some natural football ability

 

yet some think in the short time theyve been at our club all of that ability, experience and know how has been knocked out of them and they have been made in to these cloggers who couldnt trap a bag of cement and couldnt pass a ball 10 yard. absolute bollocks

 

the instruction comes from the fella on the touch line.

 

with / without Madine the direction from him is woeful.

absolutely spot on ????

and who was up front for the majority of that time for him? Hanson...

 

this is far from a Parky bashing. hes exceeded all of our expectations from the beginning of last season. but at the minute fingers are being pointed left right and centre but hes responible for the way we set up, the way we play and the lack of change when its going tits up

I might be simple, but like with Bradford fans who wanted something different, I'm saying be careful what you wish for. They're finding that out now. Hope we don't have to in the same way.

Run. Run my friend.

 

It's too late for me but you can save yourself.

 

Go go go.

well sadly at the moment without any obvious changes to how we are going about things and the success its currently having we may just be able to show them what theyre missing next season

he's changed it plenty, the brum and derby line ups for example

 

and he'll always go 6 up front when we're losing in the last 10 minutes

 

however, more often than not, it doesn't work

 

the only time it has, that I recall, was when we went back to 3-5-2 v Sheff U and won

I am not against Parky just saying as how I see it but the main worry for me is we go a goal down and it's game over which was the same when Lennon was in charge I really don't know why this happens!

line ups and formation are one thing

 

how they then play is another.. and whether its 4-4-2, 3-5-2 or 2-2-6 the ball the majorty of the time goes from back to front

Lack of anyone on the bench who can change it. Without Morais fit or Clough being the player we thought he could be there's just a load of average players.

 

Odd that during the international break the bwfc social media mob were talking up Obasi as being ready to go and he's not even made the bench since. Surely even if he's not 100% fit let's see if he offers something from the bench, if not why sign him

and furthermore, what im saying really answers that point

Obasi is injured

100% Baz. I was thinking earlier and I couldn't think of anyone in the first team who hasn't played in the premier league or championship before.

They may not be the best, some may be past it hence why they've wound up with us; but this is the second highest level of professional football in the country-they don't achieve that without having a modicum of footballing ability.
