Why could he not try Fleming behind foster ?
Does Parker not want to say to either Brownhill - Hannibal - Laurent to miss out to try that top
Two - Fleming in his natural position.
Come on BT-these are excuses.Cardy professes to know the Championship and how to get promoted from it.He therefore knows that sometimes he will come up against physical teams.He also said in October that our forward play needs to improve yet here we are in March and yesterday we struggled to muster 2 shots on target over 97 minutes.Quote:

Very little has changed since October with our forward play except the addition of Edwards has given us a boost but even he got little or no service last night.
However we are now 24 unbeaten and in with a good chance if we are consistent enough and turn draws into wins.Lots to play for and sooner or later Cardy is going to have to throw caution to the wind.
We started very slowly and gave away too many silly fouls, one of which resulted in WBA scoring after twenty minutes. This seemed to act like a kick up the backside for us and for the rest of the first half we appeared to dominate them. I think they welcomed half time, but as all to frequently we came out for the second half looking a different team, as Army says it looked like a switch had been thrown and we were quite happy to play for a draw. I am becoming increasingly concerned with Parkers tactics and substitutions, this sideways and backward passing even when a forward pass is available to a good area is killing our attacking potential.
The two red cards were a joke, compared to what the clown of a referee let go during the game by both sides. He did not seem biased to either side just incompetent. Hopefully BFC appeal CJ's red card as it looked very much a yellow rather than a red especially after the game had ended.
Yes mate , still undefeated since start of November, another point on the board playing against a good side on form , still only 2 points off the top with plenty of twists and turns to come.Quote:

We know how Parker sets up , his priotity remit will be to get promoted more than to entertain , he's here to at least the end of season so nothing is to change.
Too many look to enjoy moaning all the time , it's like last of the summer wine with Grumpy old men enjoying a good whinge.
Not moaning Dingle just say what I see - in fairness I asked to be entertained a few weeks back and in truth since we have been and last night was two decent teams having a go in the most part .Quote:

Hope we do get to the promise land but if we play like this there will definitely be a lot more moaning next year.
The team selection is right. We are playing Saturday/Tuesday games, he has to rest some players or they will burn out mentally and physically.Quote:

Yes 88 , I'd like to think everybody says what they see but everybody is a manager it appears these days.Quote:

Not for a minute do I think Parker hopes for a draw , he plays a cautious style as that's his way , wasn't popular at Fulham , Bournemouth and appears the same here but I'm confident he looks to win the game albeit with his cautious approach , with the financial situation a the club at this time , I'd expect the results overide the performance and Parker will have been brought in to that purpose.
A watched Flemming specifically in the first half and he did a number of runs down the middle hoping for a pass from midfield which never materialised. I can't believe our midfielders didn't see him, they just chose to pass square or back again.
How many can enjoy a moan before it becomes too many ? If we had a number, we could perhaps organise a rota for moaning, try and keep it in check for you. Something like all posters with birthdays on an even date just moan about home games, while those with birthdays on odd dates restrict their moaning to away games. That should mitigate the problem somewhat, don't want this moaning getting out of hand.Quote:
