Taylor, Sammi and...a wallop goes into the ether with the cheers and boos. No more from me till we score. I've had enough.
See you next season?

Half-time. Needs a reshuffle as organised and effective as the one at Barnsley. Shouldn't have needed to do it again. I'm not so much angry as numb with the idiocy of it. Not only is it very high-risk, it reeks of defeatism.

Has there been some ructions behind the scenes? Walker appears to have been frozen out completely, and Clough to a large degree. Neither on the bench today, and they are the only ones in the squad apart from ALF who can score.

Utter bobbins..

Problem is, "we can't score"

For the record, last time we won from 2-0 down was 20 Oct 2012, Bristol C (h). Eagles, Spearing, Petrov. But Eagles had already reduced the arrears by half-time.

Said it at the beginning of the season, get relegated and were a dead club. I know finances have played a major part in our decline once again but, I expected with some of those players to have done better. Parkinson at this level has not a clue.

We can all live in hope but in reality we are returning to Div one where we will find it even harder than last term. It needs a new manager with fresh ideas and a complete change of players because these lot aren't good enough.
Here's a thing though... They are good enough given a correct formation and some direction in a side that is correctly selected. Parkinson just happens to fail to see that.
That's not a leopard!

After the 2nd goal apparently there was a bit of trouble on the terrace, Bolton fans fighting each other and Iles reporting that dozens of fans trying to get at Parkinson in the dug out....

Thing is, they aren't good enough? Can't defend and can't score goals.

Two of the softest goals you'll see, from a team allegedly set up to be hard to beat.

Hopeless.

And the idea that Clough isn't one of the 18 best players at the club is ridiculous. He should go just for that.

Looks like Morais and Buckley coming on.

Not as bad as it sounds. Just a scuffle and the fans are quite a distance from the dug out.

I wish Parky would find a best 11. Dervite not played for a while and comes back in against our most important match, what the hell.

Down to the last game of the season as it stands. And to think all it would've taken would've been one win against Barnsley Birmingham or Burton. What a joke.

We need a complete clear out and appoint a manager with more ideas than this plank. He been out of his depth most the season.

So, Flanagan replaced by Morais (presumably as attacking right-back) and Derik replaced by Buckley as we go 4-4-2 with two wingers and Sammi floating off ALF. Y'know, like we did in the second half at Barnsley. And like we should have today from the off.

So f*cking gutless to go safety-first and so f*cking gormless to realise it wouldn't work.

Parkinson has been stubborn as a mule all season. He brought in Clough and hardly played him, there's a young lad in the reserves Conor Hall who has been scoring for fun, he could have done ok but Parky won't pick him. No doubt he'll be another that goes for a song end of season.

Scoring goals has been the problem all season and next week V Forest will just be the same.
