Parkinson has to wake up or go

[reamsofverse]

Ive had enough, no money for new players or not Parkinson has had one game too many to prove how totally inept he his, not only has he picked a side to go and not to lose the game today which is total bollox in itself as if you are good enough you should be able to pick your best team and go and try and win anywhere which is clearly not the case today, but he has players playing all over the feckin place out of position, Basey is now on the right wing but is left footed and Sam is on the bench!!.

The real reason that I am calling for his head though is yet again his total lack of set piece intelligence has been exposed yet again, we get a free kick and it's either chipped in or floated in it's never driven in. The opponents get one and they score from it yet again. I don't know what goes on on the training pitch but set pieces are clearly off the agenda.

He has gone from a promising manager who seemed to be in control and knew what he was doing into one that has run out of ideas.

A good point but because of previous results it was a game that we had to win and the players have lost the winning mentality and that is down to the manager.

I know what you mean Reams I dont like this chopping and changing of the team. We have done this the last 3 years.

The guy hasnt been given any money. People should look at other people to vent their booing at.

News just in ............. Reamsofverse in post-match rant shocker!

[jonkool]

Yeah he's not the best manager in the world but a steady eddie but the bigger probs in theclub makes it very difficult for him. He's had to get by with frees and loans whilst others have had some cash. But saying that danny Wilson has unearthed some non league treasures - so dis SAP in dicko and fleets :-(

[reamsofverse]

He's had to get by with frees and loans whilst others have had some cash.

But jonkool it's the same frees and loans that were playing the best football in the division not that long ago, it's the same frees and loans that won us our first 6 games so what's happened why is it that we have taken 11 points out of the last 27? that's the equivalent of 3 wins an two draws we may have only lost three games this season which everybody keeps reminding me of but on a points per games scale we have effectively lost four of the last 9 if you get where im coming from.

We go away to Swindon today and the first rule was not to lose the game which we didn't but good points on the road like this one are only worth anything if you beat the Orient's and Tranmere's of this world at home, if we had of done todays point would have been a very good one gained, as it is flopping in the last two home games basically means today was another 2 points dropped.

We cannot go away to Swindon and expect to win when he goes all experimental in what could have been a dangerous game to lose and instead of making changes to play players out of position he should have gone like for like why have Basey on the right wing when Sam is on the bench, why put Reid in CM when he told us when he sugned him that he can play on either flank??

Bloody madness and no need to take risks when we can hardly afford to.

[offit]

Jesus Reams, how do you know he played Basey on the right and Reid in the middle - because that's what the commentator said?

Hardly the greatest commentator now, was it? Maybe, just maybe, Basey had gone over to take a corner or fk and that's what he was doing popping up on the right?

But no, there you go ranting incoherently again based on little more than hearsay. I particularly like your stat that "on a points per games scale we have effectively lost four of the last 9" - that's just pure genius is that. I doubt that you even know what you mean there!

[offit]

Ha ha ha - I also note that the original title of this thread was "Parkinson OUT NOW!!", but clearly you decided that was a bit knee jerk, even for you Reams!

[reamsofverse]

You mean to tell me you listened to the commentary offit?

I mean you were telling me last week that you were our superfan who had been here there and everywhere to watch us yet an hour down the track from Paddington and your in front of your radio!!

Oh dear. That the best you've got?

[bexleyboy]

WE ARE NOT GOING UP WITH PARKY IN CHARGE...

Simple...he as no management skills when things are going wrong he just don't know what to do..he drops players then brings them on at the first chance, if your going to drop players leave them at home..Semedo for Wagstaff at half time is laughable..........

[leftbehind]

Thing is in this league who would we get?

Who could we afford?
could we afford to pay PP off?


None of the above so we have to just get on with it and hope its a small glip and we get back to winning ways

[offit]

That's the way I see it leftbehind. We might not like it, and it's fine to be critical of tactics/team selections, etc because we'll never all agree on everything, but we just have to get on with it.

[jonkool]

Right boys a bit of a concensus building here - we have no other realistic options so let's hope that we build some momentum. When reams refers to our opening 6 victories let's remember they were against some real poor teams and we played on good quality pitches which helped our football. Now we are playing on ploughed fields which would challenge the Arse if they tried to play their passing game.

Bottom line is we have no choice but hope we can put together enough points to keep in the play off positions and keep all fingers and toes crossed!!!!

[reamsofverse]

That's fair enough jonkool and well said but my issue with PP is for some reason he has gone tactically naive and now that his management skills are really needed for a very difficult run in he appears to be very limited on what he has in his locker.

An example of this is in my opinion her sacrifices players to play a certain formation ie: 4-5-1 but at the end of the day our performances are no better than when we plat a 4-4-2.

Take yesterday he dropped Sam for Wagstaff and went 4 -2-3-1 or what ever it was, now I woul hope that he chose that formation for a reason but as it was all the hallmarks of how we have played during the last 4 or 5 games were still there, he is dropping players like Sam for what can only be to give him a kick up the arse then in the next game he leaves him out of the 16!!

Solly is another one, does a goo job out of position at Walsall then gets dropped at Swindon!! Wagstaff started yesterday yet he is not good enough to yet he is an impact player who should be kept to coming on to run at tired defenders with a quarter of the game remaining, that way he will cause more damage.

So as I state above what ever formation PP chooses it isn't changing anything we still are not playing well and players are getting lost in the tinkering.

Just pick your most effective 11 players Parkinson instead of all this swopping and changing to accomodate players who are no better than the ones you are dropping.

at least Offit isnt picking on me the big bully

[canterburyaddick]

We have clearly gone a bit stale and Parky is trying to shake it up a bit. The problem is that he doesn't have many options. Were we all to choose our best team currently, we would all be fairly close the the 11 he put out the games before the Swindon game. So he gives Sam a reminder that Wagstaffe is on his heels and you criticise him for it Reams. He's playing with a very small pack and however he shuffles it the teams are going to be pretty similar.

[ExeterAddick]

That's exactly right, Mstone.

In many ways, the fans have forced him in to these changes.
It makes me laugh how people were calling for Burton, Sam and even Dailly to be dropped. Who do they really think we've got who is better?

The only change i would have made after the Orient game would have been to drop Mooney, bring in Racon and go back to 4-5-1.
Maybe he could have considered dropping Basey if he thought Solly was up to it, but this nonsense about getting rid of Sam and drafting Sodje straight in was a load of rubbish in my eyes and just designed to appease the fans and give some of our lads a kick up the arse.

We have to remember that these are the same players and manager who did so well earlier in the season.
All that's happened is that our tactics have been found out, and rather than slightly alter the system or stick to our principles, the players and management have lost confidence, leaving us with a team against Swindon which certainly wasn't our strongest in my eyes.

[hongkongaddick]

How about a bit of realism?

We're going through a bad patch and yes we can blame PP for that cos he's the manager.

Are we really going to get anyone better in our position though?

We're stuck with him and the freebies/loans he's been forced to work with. Now it's time for character to shine and pull us out of this malaise. Let's see if PP has it.

[Deleted]

Yes HongKongAddick you're right. They had the chance to head hunt a top class manager when we were an extablished premier league club they are not going to go for someone better in league 1.
