Parkin: Doing a good job

Parkin: Doing a good job

Striker Parkin, on loan from Cardiff, and Wolves defender Reckford have played a key role as the Iron secured back-to-back wins last week.

Midfielder Josh Walker has already extended his loan spell at the club, while Watford team-mate David Mirfin arrived at the end of last month until the end of the season.

"The aim is to try and extend everybody's loan period," Knill told the club's official website. "But obviously we need to speak to the parent clubs as soon as possible to make that happen.

"We have set some targets that we want to get to and those players are key to achieving that. They're playing well so the last thing that you want is to lose them.

"So if it's possible then we will try and keep them. If not we will have to try and get somebody else."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
