You make a valid point regards to Bury and Scunthorpe, they must have some scouts out far and wide searching for lower league players, and it's paying off, ok no-one knows how long they have been moulding them but moulded they have done.wessy wrote:I can't put into words just how bad yesterday was and yes Parkinson takes the rap, however turn the clock back and it was Lennon who was clueless no it was Freeman surely he was pants, Coyle sucked remember, through all of this the constant factor is actually the PLAYERS.
Ok we have to buy at the left over table, that again is no excuse look at Bury & Scunthorpe doesn't stop them.
Our established players do not deliver, Pratley, Mavies, Moxey, Trotter even Spearing with his pedigree can't deliver, then you look at the youth well most have been moved on, but Vela and even Clough they do not add value they think they are better than they have proved to be.
Other than the centre halves no one is pulling his weight. We play with ten men because we carry Trotter, sometimes 9 men because we carry Vela, no movement, no guile in midfield no width, leaves us impotent, no one runs from deep, no one drives midfield like say Mcateer did.
The strikers are sub standard they are 1 in 5 men at best, presently we are in relegation form in this league even shit teams can put a winning run together, if we can do that then we will be ok if not then Saturday becomes a reality and a marker for the future.
Successive managers have gone down the tried and trusted player route, and clearly this has not worked, I'm still in the give Parky time camp, as I do feel the players he has drafted in will gel eventually, but if nothings changed by Christmas, I will be in the majority in wanting him gone.
Some will be up in arms if we lose to Bury, and that I feel will be his acid test, no Bolton fan wants to get beat by little old Bury, and it will be how we perform against them that will turn the fans heads one way or another.
