    You know what (I'll put my hard hat on) in a way I respect Sparks for coming out with that comment, yes it may have been said to deflect some of the stick he's getting but if true its not something his boss might want making public ?.

    I'm sure he laughed and said he answered this question many times, Something to with the fact they are defending and not attacking so it makes more sense to have everyone back, more bodies around the box etc. I kinda get why they do it.

    Sparks after removing Sellars and Truman from their interim roles.

    4.15 comments about L2 not sitting right and working for the club. 10.20 comments about mediocrity, that prove to me last nights reference was complete and utter horse crap.

    Approaching three years on and three managers later, sod all has changed. Sparks' words are full of good intentions but short on delivery. More managerial cliches with some interesting comments about player fitness, player conditioning, player injuries and so on and nothing has changed on any of those fronts. And to be blunt, I don't see that changing unless Rupp's own position changes fundamentally.

    Put a full kevlar suit of armour on, and go sit in a steel lined panic room!
    There is no defending the sheer ineptitude of the cretin.

    The “fans forum” has been the talk of probably most City fans over the last 48 hours at least. Some of the answers given have raised alarm bells amongst supporters and the “sustainability and staying in the league” comment was used by BBC Radio Leeds in one of their Twitter promos, yet as far as I can see, there hasn’t been one line written by Parker in the T&A. He truly is a voice for the club and his lack of holding the club to account on behalf of the fans is disappointing to say the least.

    Nope, we’d need them more than ever and not just for away games either as we’d probably be playing home games at Harrogate or Halifax.

    I agree they are mostly all just cliches that come out of his mouth, he has proven he is just way too inexperienced for the role and has backed himself into a corner now with this empty waffle, it needs an older head with the right experience.

    Let's hope Rupp removes him soon or Rupp decides he really has had enough of this speculative investment and offers us up for sale at a realistic price.

    A DOF only works if it's a position the high-ups want. Otherwise, it's just another body with no real say in anything

    It still made no sense to me. If you had a player back whilst defending a corner it ensures it doesn’t go straight back in firstly, secondly the opposition have to have at least 2 men back to cover or risk a breakaway.

    When your club is being led by Arthur Daley. Whose only mandate is self preservation. To publicly affirm that sustainability is the primary objective, represents a major own goal by Sparks.

    Does anyone think Rupp bothered to listen?

    Will he even know there was a forum?

    I guess he gets told whatever Sparks tells him.

    On that proviso we should have every outfield player in their box when we have a corner then
