After the Swindon debacle, the players get their customary day off - and learn that the entire management team has been fired.
So they have reported to training today; Peacock no doubt calls a team meeting and Matthews takes training.
What' do you think is going through the players' minds ........?

midfield - 'great no more of the back 4 smashing 70 yard balls up to Benno'
Strikers - 'great no more having 70 yard balls smashed up to our heads'
If they are probably thinking of winning the game for Parky, begs the question why didn't they do it why he was here.
Racon, Semedo, Dailly, Jackson and Benson will be down right now. They have all shown for their respect to the man sinc e he took charge.
Ok, maybe not - more likely this:
i reckon Abbott is hoping the new manager is looking to build a team around a striker who can't trap a bag of cement and can't run and kick a ball at the same time and is fat and f**kin useless.
I reckon the rest don't give a flying f**k
I don't get this, if all our strikers were given the same 20 games to play, I think he'd score the most of the lot, as Benno would only score away from home, Sodje would just run about like a headless ox, Anyinsah would only play 10 of the games, Martin would get on 'Showboat' every week but never finish, and Abbott would go shot-Goal Kick, shot-throw in, Shot-Goal!!!
He's inconsistent but he's also our best natural finisher, as his entire career shows.
This did make me laugh.
Or won't they give a toss?

Oh Behave! Thats the best laugh I have had in a long time. Abbots got the turning circle of the Titanic. I was gonna say he couldn't finish his dinner, but by the looks of him he's finished everyone else's!
lol bibble
ive seen milk turn quicker than abbott....cant understand how oldham fans rated him so highly.
Wonder if I can get a refund on the school fees I've just forked out for the kids for the rest of this year?
Also better ring Parky and tell him how sorry I am to hear the news. Will be handy to keep in his good books as I might be able to wangle a move to whereever he ends up.
And finally better check how the pension plan is doing as well. Shame the Swindon game was on TV as any prospective employers might realise how c**p and lazy I am so getting a move may not be that easy and I might need to start drawing on the pension sooner than I thought.
If you play Benson with Martin it is the same as playing him on his own as Martin does his own thing and does not know how to play off or with a fellow striker. You play Benson with Abbot and you have no pace whatsoever so defenders feel comfortable. If your strikers are shackled then there are no out balls for the midfield. Forget about the level and think a time when you might have played with strikers who were finding space and with shackled strikers. It's much easier to look good with the former - with the latter you either keep the ball too long and get tackled or play hopeful balls forward out of deseperation. The example is relevant, whatever the level.
If you are a wide player, you need players driving into the box but because our strikers without Anyinsah and Sodje are easy to track and mark you don't have the confidence to put the balls in. instead like Reid has been doing of late, you are more inclined to try and score yourself. I think Semedo, Racon, Jackson and Reid are as good, if not better than anything in this league but need the attack to function for them to look good. So not a lot needs fixing really to totally change the dynamic.
The problem for Parky is that Anyinsah is the heartbeat of the side. I know he isn't Ronaldo but we need him to make us tick. We rely on him too much because we don't have anybody else who can do the same job and teams set out to stop us rather than go toe to toe. I think you could mix and match the team against Swindon with the players available any way you liked and you were not going to get a commanding performance because of the balance up front. Chelsea are the same for me with Drogba - they need a fit Drogba to be at their best. different levels but the principal is the same.
