What the fuck has he done to the team man?

Also no Embleton or Neil on the bench

He said that was Embletons first full 90 minutes for about a year midweek so is still feeling sore and tired. Can see why he wants to protect him a bit. He obviously doesn't think Neil is quite ready for the proper first team, no idea why
 
As the weeks go by, I'm convinced he draws straws to pick the team.
 
Today has to be the day for Grigg....i feel like this is his last chance saloon, even this early in the campaign.....

He occasionally hits a shot from 30 yards out, I think thats enough for Parkinson to class him as attacking!

You watch today - Power gets the ball in an attacking position - he then swivels back and lays the ball off to a defender - happens every time. Can any apologists for Parkinson defend him playing 3 defensive CM's at home to MK Dons? Check their passports Phil - it clearly says 'Defensive midfielder' under their job title section.
 
MK Dons are missing seven players today. Got to smash them

...

‘George Williams, Jordan Houghton, Kieran Agard, Joe Mason and Jay Bird all miss out through injury today.

Regan Poole and Daniel Harvie, of course, are away on international duty.’
 
Really strange team selection that mind. How the fuck has Power wriggled his way back in? Neil and Embleton not even on the bench, I know Parkinson hinted Embleton would be missing but it’s bizarre to leave out Neil all together especially when Power and Grigg have came back in and O’Brien has managed to keep a place on the bench.
 
fuck knows what formation this will be, but there is going to be a massive gap in the middle of the park between the 3cm's and the two lumps up top

i think he is just hoping to get it out wide constantly with scowen and power, have the wing backs overlapping, and get the cross count over 50 , thats why he's lumped another 'body' in the middle up top with wyke, just hoping something falls for one of them for a tap in

there won't be a single forward pass, into feet or for the forwards to run onto, through the middle third of the pitch.
