I am still finding it very difficult to take to Parker?s way of playing. It?s still largely very uninspiring. Very slow paced, and lacks a lot in intensity and passion. We play football like we don?t have a care in the world. While we can play at the pace we want to, we?re ok. But my concern would be, if we play someone who really comes at us with real intensity we might struggle. It?s Particularly concerning if we are in the playoffs. Teams do tend to really go for it, and I?m not convinced we have the gears too go up so too speak. Just my opinion

Tuesday night will show whether or not you are right CC, WBA will be competing and coming to Turf Moor to win. A proper test of our credentials methinks.

We can’t do much more than we are at the moment. Our last two home games both 4-0 wins and if Luton shot themselves in the foot Sheffield Wednesday were a bigger test of our credentials. We are keeping the pressure on at the top. Cardy said after the Luton game we need to keep the accelerator flat to the floorboards now. West Brom will be tough and we need to win again.

We will be in the play-offs CC so lets hope you are wrong.We have the hardest run in of all the top four teams and we still lack firepower-yesterday we again missed 3 or 4 sitters.We had 16 shots with only 3 on target whilst Luton had 3 shots with 2 on target.If you need a tin hat then I will go for a bunker because under Cardy we will not get promoted this season and he will be gone in the summer-that is my prediction.He has been saying since last October that we need to improve going forward and I for one see no improvement 6 months on.Just how long does he need to improve our forward play?
The only teams we have beat convincingly are relegation fodder and teams with 10 men.Any half decent team and we struggle to create anything.Basher showed what we are missing yesterday-a CF who gets in the right positions and buries his one chance-shame he is no longer quick enough to feature regularly.

Bollox CiB that is negative for no reason whatsoever. We have scored 10 goals in the last three games. We are on a rolland you can see it in the players.

23 league games undefeated , 3 straight wins scoring 10 & conceding 1goal in those 3 games , 3rd in the league , 2 points off top spot .

WBA will be a big test of our recent form.

It feels like we've had glimmers of hope a few times this season, only to follow it up with another poor performance.

I saw the highlights of the Portsmouth v Leeds game.Leeds had 3 or 4 easy chances to score and MOM was the Pompey goallkeeper.That's why we like football,you just never know,roll on tomorrow and if you go make a noise and get behind the boys.
