Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

He has a fair point about home attendances, and I said a few weeks ago on another thread that in my opinion the number of home fans looked to have gone down this season - but I was told by a few on here that I was wrong, so perhaps KA is misinformed ? I have been supportive of Mr Anderson since he c...

Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.

Great win - totally unexpected by most, and a very important 3 points.

Credit where its due well done PP & the players.

Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.

Parkinson has a bit of a moan when teams have extra rest days or more rest days than us if we play midweek etc and regularly comments that it can affect performances - However, I suspect it wont have any effect on Derby....I cant see anything other than a heavy loss 3-0 or 3-1 Derby.

Re: Suffolk hating or breathing sighs of relief..Versus Ipswich away 22-9-2018.

I take it as that was an attacking line up we took the game to them and only due to the fact a player was sent off had to take off Otzumer coupled with not losing you are going to find another reason to slag of PP today? Very good unexpected point, a much more attacking line up so perhaps he's list...

Re: Suffolk hating or breathing sighs of relief..Versus Ipswich away 22-9-2018.

Ipswich haven't won a game yet this season....so we all know what happens in situations like this 3-1 Ipswich.... Well, if Parky wasn't prepared to at least attempt to take the game to QPR at home then I don't see a single indicator as to why he might at Portman Rd either. We might get the draw tha...

Re: Heading to the Riverside for Pulisball. Middlesbrough (a) 19/9/18 745pm

BWFCI do you agree with Parkinson's post match comments ? We were a silly mistake away from a draw that would have been a great result. Do I agree with how we setup? No. But do I think Parky knows a lot more than any of us? Yes. I trust him to be our manager and the minutae of decisions are less si...

Re: Heading to the Riverside for Pulisball. Middlesbrough (a) 19/9/18 745pm

His post match comments are worrying; surely he can’t pick the same line up against the bottom of the league? It would be genuinely embarrassing. Yes they are - he's brain washed into defensive non creative football - which is why it really surprises me that some supporters think he can do absolute...

Re: Heading to the Riverside for Pulisball. Middlesbrough (a) 19/9/18 745pm

1 point from 12. The good start has well and truly petered out and, as much as he got it right away from home at the start of the season, you've gotta say PP's negativity - especially at home - is really stunting us. I suspect that we will be in the bottom 3 in a few weeks time - Parkinson's negati...

PHIL, YOU DON'T LOSE POINTS AT FOOTBALL, YOU JUST DON'T GET ANY IF YOU DO. ATTACK MAN...... TD he's incapable of playing any other way....he's a boring, negative manager that's his mindset 'don't concede', 'don't concede'....and then we usually do because we offer absolutely nothing going forward.....

Has Vela actually touched the ball yet - atrocious, embarrassing team selection & tactics from Parkinson

We are almost defeated before we start with these tactics, we just sit back & invite pressure, almost HT no shots on goal, no shots on target

Sheffield United at home last year, in September. Att: 14,346.
Damn you and your facts!
14,346 was the overall attendance and the top tier (Sheff Utd) wasn't as full last season as it was the other week - I'm on about the number of home supporters attending not the overall attendances

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

I'm not saying it's not true, but has anybody produced numbers to show the decline in attendance? Home game v Sheff Utd 3 weeks ago....attendance 14,848 with a min 2,000 Sheff Utd fans (top tier was full of Sheff U) - meaning around 12,800 Bolton fans max, I can't recall the home fans attendance in...
