    we have in fact picked up 26 points since the 0-0 with Bolton the best by any team in league one. Double what Wycombe have done.

    Well I doubted him, after several losses, a row with our player of the previous season, and main tactic was hoof ball...

    As is said, if the facts change, your opinion should change, (I wanted him out, not now) if we can keep winning the minimum is play offs, and with a bit of luck automatic promotion. Clean sheets are basically winning us games, we had chances today in the 2and half but need a finisher to score goals..

    S&O's Gunpowder Rum: 1 x Bottle Made to an Century recipe this blend of rum, chillies, 'calumet tobacco' and black gunpowder is as close to what Blackbeard the Pirate would have drunk back in 1718 as you can get. History in a bottle.

    Iirc he only played about 4 games this season for Bristol City b4 joining us so It cant be down to the run of games he's played for us as that's only about 10 all season.

    I've travelled and travelled up and down this great land
    The people I've shared my time with have always been grand
    We've coped with all the disappointments
    It's just the hope we can't stand.

    It doesnt work like that pal. Its about how many games you play in quick succession and enabling you muscles time to recover. The fact hes had limited game time was more of a risk for him. His body has gone from one extreme to the other since signing for us..

    I'm saying it isn't down to fatigue that he's picked up an ankle ligament injury. They're down to impact and can happen to anyone, at any time.

    True but abit of rotation would have been nice, he gets game time, wright and willis get a rest...
    Its a no brainer really. Parkinson is the opposite of what Ranieri was at Chelsea

    Yes true. Especially to players that spend every single minute of every game on the pitch. Your luck with key players will run out eventually ffs

    I cant actually believe people are still so laid back about our lack of rotation policy. Winning is great yes, and well done to Parkinson and his coaches for finding our perfect formation to suit the players we have.
    Its a squad game though ffs, you.dont just keep picking the same players until injury or a suspension happens ffs..
