Parkinson interview post Bristol rovers at home



Parkinson deserves all the credit in the world at the moment how he’s turned this team around I will never know brilliant to see the south stand chant he’s name today the manager the players the fans all on the same page now if someone said that would be the case on Boxing Day I would never have believed them
 
There are a few on here who have suddenly gone quiet, remember not that long ago 1 poster saying we will get relegated this season, and many people saying our recruitment was awful!

To be fair we were awful and looked to be going backwards for first couple of months under parkinson and most new signings looked average at best

In those first couple of months did you think parkinson was the right appointment?

No I thought PP was the wrong appt, but admitted my mistake a while ago. But I also said the squad is 1 of the best in this league when others were slating me saying the squad was shit and the recruitment had been terrible. There were also sonee saying we were going to get relegated which was never going to happen

Fact is that the squad is the best in the league and has been for two seasons. Ross never utilised anywhere near its potential and its only now that we are seeing that. Parkinson’s gone very basic and said if we don’t concede then the best attackers in the league will find a way to score goals. It’ll work in this league, but he’ll need a new plan if we go up.

Completely disagree tbh, we have a clear attacking plan of overloading the wings and getting crosses in from the byline, in complete contrast to Ross’s tactics which were exactly like you describe, let the best attackers (mcgeady) figure it out.

Parky deserves credit for tightening up the defence and focusing the attack to our strengths and there’s no reason to suggest it wouldn’t work in the championship too imo

Definitely very basic having your centre halves overload down the wings like.

It suits us as the attacking intent from our 2 central midfielders is minimal. Therefore it’s a well thought out plan for them to carry on down the line creating space as power and Dobson can sit in. Good management to develop that tactic with our bunch. Willis is the best fullback at the club!!
