Strange one, you'd honestly be happy with parker to do a rebuild at this magnitude? He flatters to deceive.
Really good point about young uns, we would have won, but at the cost of the future?
2-1 up against 10 not as bad as 2-0Really good point about young uns, we would have won, but at the cost of the future?
Maybe we should acknowledge this and get off wilders case a bit (me included) or is that just his job, to blood youngsters and win games?
Thinking as I’m typing, 2-0 up, against 10men mid-table QPR yes it is his ‘kin job
It depends on your mgt philosophy. After they scored to make it 2-1, do you want old heads to 'manage the game' or young, fresh legs to inject some energy. I'd argue the latter every time. We saw in the PL, big sides now have X2 teams of players and invariably make the full use of the 5 subs and means going in to the last 20mins they can still press and move the ball at pace...Really good point about young uns, we would have won, but at the cost of the future?

Don’t think he’s ever lost as a manager to us. Might be wrong but I’m sure I heard that
I think that’s a little bit unfair, they were one of the most organised sides I’ve seen & tactically impressive the way they pressed & switched play quickly.
I've stuck up for Parker when some of our fans said in the summer that he was poor when we were linked with him if the new board changed manager, but I don't think his career can be judged easily until he manages a club with a budget why he has yet to do. Burnley should be way ahead of us with their squad to ours in my view but they're not.
Got 3 in diff colours.
Drawn too many games haven’t they. Losing 2 games in 23 is good going. I think it’ll take another record high points to be in the top 2 this season. It’s a shame we started behind everyone on -2.
I see comments on here saying we were the better team first half and shake my head. Parker came here with the intention of not letting us score. They schooled us first half. We hardly created anything and looked vulnerable to their width on the counter.
It looked wank on Parker, I reckon Thom Browne would be disappointed at his modelling skills.
Thim Browne is all he seems to wear
Schooled us ?
Gay boy size for Parker...
I hate the cunt
Tactically he got it right. His interview highlighted the fact that we can be predictable.
We are predictable now we've lost all pace
Only toward the end of his spell at a given club when he’s turned them from being decent to being shit.
He's had a lot of building to do this season, albeit he has had money to spend. But 14 regular first team players or subs left in summer, and 5 more of last year's squad have been injured for all or most of this season; 14 new signings this summer. Of the 12 players who have started 10 or more games this season, only 5 had started that 10 or more in their Burnley careers to date.
It’s a hideous jacket and for 4 grand!!!! Talk about more money than sense. Even that’s not on a par with the awful grey cardi he wears.
Let's have a look what Wilder was left with in the summer. Of the keepers only 2nd keeper Davies is still with us, defenders only Robinson, Anel Ahmedhodzic are left along with Norrington Davis coming back from a long injury. Midfielders left from last season Hamer, Souza along with Tom Davies just back from long term injury. Up front we were left with Brewster just recovering from long term injury. So not a lot to work with, We have made some signings, a few loans, a few on free transfers, the rest of the squad is made up of lads in their first full season of first team football learning on the job. That is where we are at the moment it is remarkable Wilder has got us where we are with what he has to pick from. He started with less than half a dozen 1st team players and a very limited budget due to the sale of the club, I think Scott Parker would be running for the hills in the same situation.
He is not a tactical genius at all. We have some stuff to work on despite defending well this season. Souza has been the key factor as his positional sense and pace have broken up many attacks. We attack with full backs pushing on that gets exposed if souza is not there. He is hampered with hamstring trouble and should have remained on the sideline for another week or so.
Agreed I was just making the point that he got it tactically right on the day.
