Wolves 5-1 Bolton

Whether it's asthma or just lack of fitness Ameobi isn't able to compete 100% for the full 90 minutes. But we lack the creativity, flair and pace he brings so he's worth the compromise.

Still interested to hear which players you think are good enough to get us up the league though Martin.

Pretty much all of them if they were given the right roles and allowed to play, this goon sends them out fearful, you can see it with the sideways, backwards, hoof.

Any manager that can keep it on the ground and pass and move will get these players climbing the league, I'm not saying they're good enough for playoffs, but mid-table should be attainable with a decent manager.

Yes, but a coach earning his or her wages would recognize that Ameobi was toast, and would have taken him off.  

I agree that Parky has drawn the short end of the straw as far as the talent he has to work with, but there needs to be mental fitness on his part.  If we are giving up possession and still pinning the offense back, why change?  If a player is knackered, you must take them off unless you have no changes left.  

Parky has cost us points in 4 of the past 6 or 7 games... and while he has been given no or few resources, we need him to be mentally tough to get us through the final 10-15 minutes of a match.  

Almost everyone on here recognizes that we have a threadbare squad and that our ambition is to survive this season.  Hopefully KA finds a buyer to splash some money around, but for today, we need to have Parky stay mentally tough and aware of what is working and what needs changing.  The 8 points we threw away would have changed the tone of this forum.  We only ask that we demand the same mental toughness of Parky as we do from the players.  Sometimes it is those who have less ability who are mentally tougher.  What we lack is a team leader to inspire and keep our heads in the game.  Tuning out with 10 minutes to play is unacceptable... both from the players side and from Parkys.  Let's hope we can resolve the problem and pick up enough points to finish above relegation.  I believe we have the players to do that... but lack the fitness and mental toughness to date.

P.S.  We still suck at passing and Morais's acumen in League One kept us up.  Who can step up to the plate now?  January is a month away!  Find someone!

What's your issue with Ameobi having asthma (not the first time you've highlighted it recently) - didn't give these two any problem!

Or were you just making shit up again to try prove a point you were making?

Yes I was making it all up.

We all know Parky has nothing to work with but all we ask is an aggressive game plan and some non hoof. That's all.  As shown in various games where we pile it on towards the end when down by a goal. We are terrible unlucky in some of those last minute chance games. So why not play like that from the first minute. And see where the chips fall.
Case in point from last night.....Leicester vs Spurs..... Leicester came out piling it on.....got their two goals......of course they couldn't maintain it in the second half.  Spurs were all over them...but Leicester still won the game. What I'm saying is they had a right old do at them and this time it paid off. 
We go in with a negative attitude to hold them to a clean sheet and then nick one......doesn't seem to be working. Might be me though.

Do you think Spurs game plan was to come out slowly?
