I get people not liking Parkinson, but some of the comments in here are just daft.

You can disagree with decisions and still be impartial, but some people are just going out of their way to criticise.

Precisely, it’s febrile. Frankly, it is a blessing the team are not exposed to this heightened sense of anxiety as it is self-defeating.
 
great to see the range of options Parky has selected for the bench should we need to change the game in anyway

everything on that bench is the same as on the pitch, slow, no creativity, no goal threat and no athleticism. They might not be the answer but we'll never actually know if this bloke can't even have the bottle to put the likes of Diamond, Kimpioka and Neil on the bench....everyone of them at least offers something different.
 
My feeling is this setup :- Burg

McGlaughlin Wright Flanagan
Gooch Hume

Dobson Power Sanderson

Maguire Wyke




Could work, or maybe Dobson deeper what you think?

Aye it’s a fair point. If it’s a return to 343 with maguire and gooch in their proper positions then that can only be a good thing.

Tin hat on but Power and Dobson aren’t as bad as being made out and there’s nowt between them and scowen. They’re nowt special at all, just regular one paced, league one level ball winners but if there’s just two of them in the side then the onus isn’t on them to create. The issue recently has been playing 3 defensive midfielders at once.

343 looks right for that 11, so you know it won't be.
 
I'm really looking forward to this one now. I'm excited to see Sanderson and I think we're in for a big performance from Maguire.
 
Moderate Power said:
Well he has 30 years experience in football and sees the players in training and knows who is showing form and fit. You miss a lot of that.

That, of course is true. However, we see the games and we can see Power contributing nothing, we could see McLaughlin at RWB against Swindon and see how uncomfortable he is in that position. We also have listened to the club and Parkinson saying erroneously that they will create a pathway for their promising youngsters and we can see that Parkinson has no intention whatsoever to do this. He's taking us as mugs.

How do you feel about none of our youngsters being involved yet again? Sanderson is not one of our youngsters and Parkinson said in the press that he would create a pathway for our young talent. Why do you think he has decided not to do this in practice?
