    Parkinson does have us well and truly in relegation form to be fair mate. I can't see it happening and we should make moves in January but it's not like we've never buggered up a transfer window before.

    I thought the team he picked was fine today but he seems to have the fear of losing that's done for many better managers.

    Ross had safc in 6th, within 3 points of the top two

    we are now closer to third bottom than top two

    I have no belief at all, that safc will win another game whilst Parkinson is in charge, so we need a minimum 14 draws to stay up

    He will be happy with the clean sheet today. That’s sums the bloke up

    Tough set of fixtures certainly, did we win any that we 've already played? Said before , I think the squad's the issue so without early strengthening I don't see a lot of wins - particularly if Ref decisions go against us like today.

    Do you think we'll lose them all?

    The pressure is building and this is telling on the manager, his record here is weighing him, and the team down, and he is on the back foot, and we need a change of luck, maybe an away win against the odds or a ref giving us a decision for once will do it. The outlook is not bright but football is a funny old game. Nil Desprandum.

    We’ve been here before when Reid was sacked and they brought in highly regarded Howard Wilkinson, fully laden with coaching awards etc etc.

    now we are told Parkinson is highly regarded (by whom?) has knowledge of the league etc.

    as did Grayson

    I think we will. Sadly whilst Parkinson is in charge we won’t win another game. It’s glaringly obvious imo

    we lost to Wycombe and Lincoln, who both have the classic bullying style which safc wilt under

    the other two have not been to the sol

    I wanted rid of Ross mate but we've hired worse and now gone seriously backwards under PP. I honestly can't believe the football he serves up and I've not been back since Burton. Admittedly work has stopped me going as well but no way was I going today and I'm pleased I didn't.

    As for strengthening, he obviously is getting money, I just pray he brings in players who can change it around but I still have no faith in him and the football he plays.

    Seeing it's about only the 2nd we've had this season I wouldn't be surprised but he'll be disappointed that with all the possession, 18 shots on goal and one abysmal refereeing decision we didn't manage to score . As am I disappointed but I don't see that sacking Parkinson within five days of the window and replacing him with f*ck knows who will help matters.

    No good at our place that mind, need a manager that fits the culture of wanting Attack, Attack, Attack. Get into teams, get on the front foot and be ****ing relentless.

    I’m available. Parkinson has no emotional attachment to safc. He is going through the motions, coming out with corporate speak when he deems himself to attend a press conference

    I’ve said it earlier, this has all been seen before with Wilkinson and Grayson

    highly regarded, knows the league, will get safc organised and difficult to beat.

    im sorry as I hate safc when periods like this happen, but unless he is removed, it’s very much likely we will be going into the last four games this season, needing points to stay up

    bookmark this as I would love to be completely wrong
