    The fans were behind the team v Burton not a bad atmosphere until they spoilt it by scoring . The team just fell apart making mistake after mistake and the fans had good reason to turn , the performance was totally unacceptable with players appearing to just give up .

    I heard the fans turn then the team fell apart. Not the other way around. Team were comfortable and confident. Misplaced passes weren’t getting barracked. Burton scored and everything they did was booed from that moment.

    Also are you saying you have no problem with a team being booed during a game? I’m not sure what the fans hope to gain from that. It cannot improve a team performance

    What I don't understand (among many things about this appointment), is - what was the thought process behind sacking a manager who wanted the team to play football by passing on the deck and built a squad roughly along those lines (the lack of pace and power has been discussed to death). But to then go out and hire a manager renowned for playing the worst kind of long ball with a clogger or two up front, and expect that to work?!

    Where is the logic?! Where's the two brain cells going 'hey, we have probably the shortest squad in the league, we don't have a lot of big burly players (if any), let's not hire a man who plays the hoofiest of hoof ball. Maybe, we go out and find a manager who likes a similar style to Jack...'

    Completely agree. He's a considerably better manager than Parkinson, and I think he will go on to have a cracking career in management. I can imagine in a few years time some will forget how the crowd turned and lament the fact that 'we let a really good, young manager go too soon'.

    Let’s see if an empty 49 thousand seater stadium will help them to improve?

    Losing so often is always shìte but agreed it's even worse down here.
    After all the crap endured, time out and a takeover that put paid to administration, halting the slide and although not the best football it looked like we were finally building up steam.
    Now we seem to have gone full circle with a dire manager, mercenary players and staff leaving under a cloud.

    Wtf is going on ffs ?
    Living in the North West i used to get plenty of stick off the scousers and mancs at work about us being shìte and I'd give it back on the odd occasion we beat them, but now i get nothing except the odd mention off one or two about a decent crowd in a shìt league .

    Fookin soul destroying.

    Even got some off a Tranmere fan the other week ffs and Wrexham and Chester fans looking forward to playing us ffs :emoticon-0111-blush:emoticon-0130-devil:rolleyes:

    But Parkinson is animated on the touchline. He stands and points and shouts..

    Sorry - just that was one of the complaints from a number of parties about Ross - his complete lack of animation during a game "He just stands there" Oh well let's sack him for that then!!

    *sigh*, aye, we've decided we don't want this manager, we need to find something we don't like about him...

    Ross was always watching closely and absolutely barking instructions to the players, talking to his staff and his substitutes. But he only stands on the touchline...

    Not sure if that’s a dig but it’s poorly directed. I was massively sarcastic

    What? No dig, I was being equally sarcastic. The rhetoric to sack Ross for 'just standing there' was crazy, and felt to me, like a stick to beat Ross with.

    I've seen it posted in several places that, latterly, JR's teams played "hoofball".

    I'd respectfully disagree, each to their own though.

    JR was "hounded out" for the same reason that folk want PP gone and the same reason we've sacked all our managers - the results weren't up to expectations. "Standing still on the touchline", "hoofball" and other epithets were merely attempts to explain their lack of success in simple terms

    You can disagree about him playing hoofball but the posts are undeniable. Didn't say that was my opinion just that it was posted and therefore someone's opinion
