Yeah his form could turn out to have been flash in the pan, but even when he wasn't scoring goals earlier in the season (bare in mind nobody was at that point, it wasn't just him) he was involved in everything. His form did nothing but improve when he stopped drinking as well.

I don't see how we can compete now, even with Clough returning along with signing Tyler Walker. I don't know if we can play effectively in a style that would truly suit them, and on his showing so far Wilbraham is not a replacement.

People bang on about the fact that we only play one dimensional football, but hey in the last couple of months, its mostly been working, so I don't really care, and I don't know if we have the players to do anything else.

8 goals and 4 assists in 14 games is not something we will be able to replace easily. I think selling him is utter madness and it has sealed our fate of relegation.

I truely hope that I am proven wrong.

I'm not sure what you mean by saying that Wilbraham is not a replacement on his showing so far. The bloke hasn't had a chance to show what he can do. At least let him have a few full games before he's dismissed as useless

Madine handed in a transfer request, and once a player does that he has to be moved on. Knowing what you know of Madine, does he strike you as the type of bloke who would have knuckled down if Bolton had stopped his transfer to Cardiff?

At the end of the day, he's played well this season, but he was bloody awful last time we played at this level, and even last season he was hit and miss. Usually a miss into row z if I'm being honest. So a sizeable offer from Cardiff is very, very good business.

Yes, we may well go down, but if we move away from the hoofball shite I for one will be happy.

Personally id like to see more of;

         Vela        Henry

Morais     clough      ameobi

               Walker

I didn't see that he had done this.

We knew Cardiff wanted Madine, he should have been on the ball and had plenty of targets in mind for when the day came. As for tomorrow evening, we all know full well that Parky will still insist on pumping the ball up, just wonder how long It will take him to realise that we are missing a target man.

He'll play Wilbraham, we all know he knows no different.

We'd get smashed playing with only 6 players.

I thought that was the case, so I held back on calling you a bellend.

I've saved it for Johnny.

Is this Parkinson admitting he has no plan B?

More of a go at Anderson I reckon.

If it is then his days are numbered.
