Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?

Apart from Ameobi, no doubt Parky will again make a few more changes to the team that gave a gallant effort at Norwich. It seems as if he doesn't know his best after all this time. The sooner this guy leaves the better.

Re: A life of Pie.....Home to Wigan 1-12-18.

I did that before the Millwall game, no doubt I shall be contacted by the club. I simply have had enough, I cannot put myself through anymore stress and disappointment watching this. Told Halifax to cancel the transaction and that nothing else to the club comes out. I have been watching Atherton Col...

Re: A life of Pie.....Home to Wigan 1-12-18.

I wont be going nor listening and I will not be venturing out tonight. I have simply had enough of sitting there bored to tears watching a bunch of piss poor players. My DD has now been cancelled. Enough is enough.

Not looking forward to this one. I have too many Latics pals and I'm gonna get ribbed Sat night.

After watching that debacle on Tuesday I cannot see Wanderers scoring nor keeping a clean sheet.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?

He should be sacked to be replaced by Simon Grayson. Parky has been given time but yet doesn't know his best line up. The way the team are performing I can't see them scoring another ten goals all season.

Re: A welcome on the hillside......V Swansea at home, Sat 10-11-18 , 3-o'clock.

That Signing was a weird one. Seems the majority want Parkinson out but who will replace him and who would get anything better from a bunch of players who lack quality? Parkinson's hands are tied tightly and has to work with what he's got whether we like it or not. Today was better but we lacked any...

Much better on the ball today but, can't score goals and do not look like doing so. Still clueless in that last third. Going down like a lead balloon unless Parkinson can work another minor miracle.

Re: Where is our natural home?

Again, all depends which era you began watching the Wanderers. My Father took me to see Bolton for the first time during our relegation season around 64 I think. He was brought up watching them in the top flight and knew nothing less up to that time. He took me regularly during our second division d...

When Big Sam and his multi millionaire chums take over we'll be fine.
Sam I'm sure will be director of football with a newly installed manager.

Re: Villainous Intent. V Aston Villa away Friday 02-11-18 7-45.

Not Parky's fault. he's not on the pitch week after week playing like a 7 year old. Whilst he might be limited as a coach and have his hands tied financially, the players - to a man - need to take responsibility for this. They are better than they are currently playing and need to quickly step up.....

Re: Hail the conquering heroes come.......Bolton V Hull, 3-0'clock Sat 27th Oct.

Whether we blame Parky or not, he did send out an attacking team. I had no intention of going this afternoon and had been trying to give my team card away since Wed night, no bugger wanted it. Sounds as if we had most of the play but the same old problem haunts us again, can't score goals and don't ...

Re: Eddie Davies

He gave the fans an opportunity to witness something we'll probably never see again. I've been a fan for many years, since the mid sixties and the best times was when Eddie was owner.

ED passed away last night whilst o]in Portugal. RIP fella it was good to know you.

Re: Who's going down to League One in 2019? Bolton?

We're always going to be the favourites for relegation, as we was last term. I don't hold much hope for us this coming season but, as someone once said "football's a funny old game.
