Parkin's had.....what........nine months with us now and is still patently way off the fitness levels required.
Diao has supposedly been training by himself since the end of last season but still looks decidedly sluggish.
Why?
Is Pulis not by reputation a bit of a stickler for fitness? Is fitness, the ability to give 100%, not the first thing he looks for in a player?
So what's going on here? Beats me. Because these two are a bloody waste of space and money right now.

Parkin will never be fit enough because he's too fond of ale and pies. If we can offload him for any kind of fee at all then we should do.
Diao may be fit enough with a proper pre-season, rather than a summer of jogging down to the bottom the garden once a week. He shouldn't be anywhere near the first XI at present though.

don't think hes that unfit tbh, I know we all take the piss, me included, hes a big bloke
Think hes played out of position, hes not a Sidibe, not a runner but a poacher and if the midfield supplied him better think you'd see a different Parkin
not a fan but to be fair he aint had a decent run in the side and often when he plays, hes played wrongly

You might be right there, mate. But then he likes the ball to feet: a total non-starter for Pulis.

kinnel
you make some valid points on a few threads but can I stop you there?
we are second, we have been openly slated by nearly every other championship team and now you appear to slate TP with this direct football style, which has actually got us to top spot
is your criticism constructive or are you HG and you are basically saying the things you said as HG
i apologise if I've read you wrong but its a poor show if you've come on here, after 2 admittedly poor defeats to slag TP off for the sake of it
I've slagged him off in the TP ratings thread but thats fair enough

NF, I love the fact that we're second and desperately want us to stay there! In fact, I think you'll find I'm in complete agreement with Mumf on what needs to be done.

I know
Get rid of Mama
Disagree with both of you there, mama on his day is excellent and allows Fuller to do what he does best
Hes a great holding player , not been quite the force he was since he had that injury in Africa
suppose we see the game of footy in different ways, Pulisball as you called it actually works well in this division
Look how we tore West Brazil apart at home

Perhaps I can shed a bit of light on the Parkin situation!
Anyone who stayed in the stand at half time yesterday, will have noticed that Parkin emerged from the tunnel chomping on something.
On closer inspection, it seemed like he was eating a GALAXY. Chocolate at half time from a bloke that is criticised for being overweight.
The man is taking the piss and he shouldn't be anywhere near our team, and probably not even our club. It is a joke! An absolute joke.
