That quote was on bbc gmr as well.

Still i would start him next game if we go with 2 strikers.
 

He actually made a more general point, nothing to do with yesterday, that he thinks magennis can work harder for the team

If he scores a decent number of goals he can work how he wants.

The old conundrum. People sometimes said Anelka didn't work hard enough.

Can only feel sorry for our strikers in general, irrespective of work rate.

He took his goals well and that's all he can do.

We started well when Magennis got 4 in 7

He rarely got a sniff when we were drawing a blank every week

He scores a hat trick and the suggestion is he won't start unless he works harder

That's how it is these days

Bit worrying that Parky substituted Wildshut at HT because he had an ankle injury rarther than he is utterly gash & ineffective 

If Parky didnt learn anything yesterday about the way forward then we are truly knackered.......and I have defended him countless times on here and in the pub

Here's hoping ......Megennis /Murphy/Noone on the left wing next match...

 

I’d think PP knows exactly why he dragged him off. But he’s not gonna say it’s because he’s shite.

But even if he was off for being shite, PP seems to forget this fact the next time he selects the team.

While we're at it, Wheater looked way off the pace yesterday. I realise it's 20 year olds against a 30+ year old but he was painful to watch.

Just for completeness I post Neil Bonnars justification of his 'worse possible result for the Andersons' tweet prior to this match.

The following is a twitter conversation between a tweeter called Mr Morals and Bonnar -

Mr Morals - And still you want us to lose today? Shithouse

Bonnar - Did I say I wanted them to lose? Read the tweet again

Mr Morals - I don’t need to. So what result EXACTLY do you want today Neil?

Bonnar - A Wanderers win then United in the next round on TV. But only for the good of the players, staff, fans and club. Not the Andersons

Mr Morals - How is that the result being the worst possible for the Andersons?

Clue: it’s not

Backtracking now Neil

Wanting it “despite” the Andersons?

Bonnar - True, I don't know how a win and United on TV next can be good only for staff, club, fans and not the Andersons, but if it could that's what I want.

Mr Morals - Then as a senior journalist, one may want to be more careful with your words!

Bonnar - No not really

Mr Morals - Brilliant :roll:

Remember Bonnar is Iles boss and Head of Sport at the paper!

Wonder why he never made the big time with a national paper?

Hard to believe he's even head of a provincial town paper with tact, diplomacy and word craft skill such as he's displayed above!


What an utter, utter joke of a man - he even calls himself the Duke of Didsbury!

Agreed but in his defence Parky as played him on the opposite wing all season.If he doesn't play magennis then her a bigger fool then I think he is magennis will be full of confidence now.

Doidge came on and scored at Rotherham what did Parky do next game, drop him, lads must’ve been gutted. Bad man management that was for me.

You wanna see the conversation I’ve had with him today. Similar vein actually. Called him out for what exactly he meant and he had no answer but his anti Ken stance was clear 

shortland somehow then got involved then when I went to see what he had written I had already been pre blocked. Despite never engaging with him before, looking at his timeline or even referencing him

As I say I couldn’t see it but judging by Bonnars response he was asking who I was and why I had commented on one of Bonnars tweets 

responding to a local journos public social media account. Who’d of thunk it? I don’t actually follow NB either but had seen the tweet somewhere else and it wound me up so...

I'm no great fan of Steve Claridge but one of the things he has consistently said in his punditry is that managers who consistently pick players out of position are asking for trouble. He's a bit of a zealot on the subject and some of Big Sam's moves (playing Simon Charlton in central defence springs to mind) prove him wrong in the zealotry. However there's a strong element of truth in what he says - and Craig Noone/Phil Parkinson is a case in point!

I think if we are going to play wingers on their own side and with 2 strikers, we will be in abacus territory....and not in a good way

No problem with trying it in a game we are likely to lose, but I do think it's doomed

Correction - Apologies, my mistake the Duke of Didsbury is actually Mr Morals user name and not Bonnars as I originally thought.

Just nice to have some goals and excitement for a change.

first half instantly forgettable, but 5 goals, goal disallowed, hit post, other chances, just for a moment put a smile on the faces of the people that went.

its amazing that when you create chances for strikers, we actually score - granted lower league opposition.

superb crosses from noone.

united away next round purely to maximise financial reward.

Maybe wingers on their proper side and one up front, with a decent attacking midfielder?

Worth trying something.
