Parky's recruitment vision.

What he wants and what he gets is two different things, unless its frees and cheapies he wants
 
Why not if it works? After all the shit we've endured over the past 4 seasons, like I give a shit if we're playing awful football but winning every week. We could win 1-0 every week and only have 1 shot on target and I wouldn't give a shit.

That's fine then. You go over and watch it.
 
He is 100% correct. I’d say we were relegated twice because we didn’t have enough physicality and athleticism. The best sides in the modern game play a pressing game. People moaning about what he says are whingeing bellends. Whether our badly run dysfunctional club deliver that is another matter of course.

How can a system based around Charlie Wyke be anything to do with pace, athleticism and physicality?
 
For years we’ve had no discernible style of play and had managers that didn’t seem to know the best way to use the players they have. Reading that Parkinson has a very clear idea of what style of play he wants and is targeting the players he need for that system.
There have been numerous threads and comments on her about or lack of physicality, pace and athleticism in our squad, Parkinson is targeting all these areas.
I can understand people saying he’s not the right man for the job, I’m not convinced myself, but I’m happy enough with what he’s saying there.
That’s it, having a strategy and an identity and recruiting and developing players in a targeted way to implement that is a hallmark of allrelatively successful clubs regardless of the style it is that they’ve chosen to adopt.

It’s something we’ve failed to do in the main for the last decade at least with a couple of exceptions which were voided anyway by appointing a subsequent manager with a completely different style and ripping the whole thing up and starting again. That’s why strategy and identity has to come from the top, or at least a DoF. Managerial/coach appointments should be part of that. We’re failing in that regard if it’s Parkinson that’s dictating things now.

Incidentally, if the way Parkinson wants us to play is in the way we did against Wycombe at home and a few other games around that time and the players he recruits enables him to do that more consistently then I can live with that (ignoring the continued strategic failings of the club).
 
Knows how he wants to play he says and needs height and physicality at both ends of the pitch. I appreciate some see this as the way out of this league but I don't think I'll be going over to watch it.


Got bugger all what parky wants

It's the 3 stooges Donald hill & Coton will decide who we get

Free or cheap injury prone & shite

Does he say anywhere ‘I want to continue to play Charlie Wyke up from next season’? Short answer . No. There is nothing wrong with what he says here, it’s just been manipulated by you. It was obvious last season that he signed Lafferty to replace Wyke but A he wasn’t fit enough - so it was a bit daft to get him in my view B Lafferty got involved in some needle C id ha be had a different type of player who could run the channels personally but he clearly wasn’t backed by our bullshitting board and was haggling for what he could get. Had the season gone on Lafferty would have played. It’s obvious. Do we need better than Wyke -absolutely yes. Will we be signing strikers. Absolutely yes. Will they be good enough ? Maybe not but I’ll whinge about that when I see it not before the event.

I think your reading what you want to hear. I agree that we need to play with a high press and more commitment, but Parkinson’s style is not really that.

Watch how we played at times last season when we weren’t getting our own way. Centre halves launching it diagonal down the channels for the wing backs to run onto. Wyke in the centre to try the flick on’s. He did similar at Boldon with Gary Madine and at Bradford with Hanson. Our identity will be long ball.

Incidentally, according to that article, Parkinson didn’t say he wanted height at both ends, if anything he was dismissive of it.

I thought in spells, when it worked, Parkinson’s style was very enjoyable to watch. When it wasn’t working, which was probably more often than not, such as at Bristol, it was as bad as I’ve seen.

I’m guessing he wants to get the players in to have it work more often or not.Whether he can get them is where I have my doubts.

I agree with this and especially the bit in bold. On the argument that this style of play only gets you so far, to a degree I agree, but I think it’s a style that will get you promoted from this league and get you into mid table in the Championship. Any higher than that and you do need to add to the basics he's identifying in the article but it gives you a platform to build from.
 
Not really interested in what shite any of them come out with to be honest

Me too, until Donald and Methven are gone and proper forward thinking, ambitious ownership is in place to raise the standards of the place and Instill professionalism into the club at all levels we will continue to flounder,imo.

Can’t see it getting better before it gets worse unfortunately.
 
He tried to sign him at Bolton man, he rates him highly.

Just because he tried to sign him elsewhere doesn’t mean he wouldn’t replace him here.

However, I’d be f***ing devastated if we go into next season with him as our main forward.
 
These are my worst fears. Parky assembling a lower league version of Stoke under the misguided view that Sunderland fans only like long ball.

Grigg made a similar view, that Sunderland fans like it direct, and I’m not sure where this comes from as I don’t know anyone who enjoys that. Sure, we hark back to Quinn and Phillips but that was a team that played some fantastic football and was far more than direct to Quinny.

We’ll never move through the leagues playing like this and it will simply mean yet another massive rebuild at some point in the near future.

this!! Even when we had Quinn and Phillips we used to moan if we got TOO direct. I think what everyone liked about those days was the wing play, grays overlapping runs and accurate crossing. Not the aimless booting it up to Quinn. It’s a myth that I have no idea where it comes from
