David Wheater wants an end to the financial woes

Speaking after Saturday's 2-1 defeat against QPR, the club skipper admitted it had been hard to filter out talk of administration, which circled around the club at the start of last week.

“It has been weird," he said. "Going into training knowing you’ve worked so hard to get to 11 points and could be back at minus one in an hour or so.

“We trained as normal and the manager said he’d have a word at the end of the session. When we’d finished he said it was all sorted.

“The night before and the morning was a bit tough because you couldn’t help thinking about the points we’d lose."

Wheater reckons Phil Parkinson's management style has helped players cope with some of the problems faced by Wanderers in the past few years.

“We’d rather not be seeing that in the papers but that’s the situation we find ourselves in," he said.

“The manager is brilliant when it comes to this stuff. He keeps things steady, doesn’t lie to us, just tells us like men. When you get out there your mind is on football so he makes sure we train as hard as possible.

“It’s tough because you think about the staff and some of them are not highly paid, but they are my mates. I wouldn’t want to see them lose their jobs.

“Hopefully now it’s sorted and we can push on as a club.”

I want an end to shambolic defending.

I've only seen the goal highlights but it was embarrassingly bad.

It was schoolboy error stuff from grounds, particularly the second goal, he tried to clear the ball with his wrong foot for God's sake. He waited for the ball to come across his body to his favoured left foot and in doing so allowed the attacker to rob him and score. All he had to do was to put his right foot through it and kick the ball up field - basic stuff and unacceptable at a professional level.

Grounds is awful, if Taylor isn't fit for Wednesday he should play Wilson there instead.
