    Apart from the first 25 minutes I thought we played it around OK - just didn't take our changes as usual.
    One of these days we are going to thrash someone about 9-0 <laugh>

    Something definitely changed the last 2-3 games.
    Has all this takeover talk got through to the players.
    Maybe that's wishful thinking

    Really looks to me like they are not bought into his tactics and are not playing for the manager
    when you're collectively as bad a we've been lately something is up.

    Although I agree with the hammering sooner or later we only did it when they went down to 10 men. Would PP have made the subs he did if they had 11 on the pitch.

    Could you imagine anyone taking inspiration from him?

    When results drop that’s the time for leadership and bringing belief and no way can Parkinson do that, his interview after a draw at Rochdale said it all.

    No ambition, no shame in failure, just happy clogging along.

    He’s useless and we haven’t enough characters for the players to lift themselves.

    well, this week it's a 'hats off' to burge, leave the penalty save out of it at the minute, he came off his line far more, looked more confident and in the 92nd minute a shot came in round the outside and he got down well to save (yes a freekick had been awarded but he just saw the shot and did what he is meant to do), maybe a turning of the corner for him we hope.

    rest of the lads really made hard work of this game, when we passed it about we ran rings round them but ffs have we had a day of worse finishes?

    think a begrudged 'well done' to parky is on the cards as well, while he did not go full on change, those he made were welcome...we just look so much more of a unit with leadbitter/scowen or maguire, obrien has no first touch mind as everything bounced off him...get the strikers sorted and that is a good team for this league...would love to see a 'side on' of oniens goal as the view on the stream looked as if he ran onto the header from an onside position.

    Looked like Luke played well today even by his standards and maybe should have been awarded a goal.

    I must’ve in the minor. I thought we played ok. Created chances but couldn’t finish for ****!

    chances are, as Owen puts his2 away and everyone thinks it’s a decent win.

    He's only on borrowed time if we keep getting set backs like the last two games.
    If we have another good run and are in the top 3 mix he's doing enough to keep his job.

    That said I think we are capable of better with the team we have, he's too cautious and we aren't dominating as much as I believe we are capable of.

    And you should be birch whipped with a shìtty stick for saying "guy"

    When people say we're shìt they must forget the rest of the league are.
    We have a decent defence and creating chances, Parkinson just needs to fooking man up and give the young uns a go up front,

    Thought we won that on spite of Parkinson's tactics. When they had a man sent off, I thought he should've put both Grigg and Diamond on to add some kind of pace up front, instead he went for 2 big blokes up front :emoticon-0114-dull:
