Northumberland Rocks
Striker
Nail on the head and put way more eloquantly than me have a like1. Why are we always playing two defensive midfielders? It’s as if our formation and mindset hasn’t changed since we were in the Premier League, fair enough we now have three centre halves and operate with wing backs but it’s the same backs to the wall football - slow and ponderous relying on one striker isolated up front. It’s f***ing not working and it’s absolutely shit to watch.
2. I’m sick of Parkinson waiting until it’s generally too late to make changes. He should have been making changes at half time.
3. What was the point of bringing Diamond on so late in the game? It’s just crap management and takes the piss out of the lad.
4. He’s talking about missing sitters, you shouldn’t be surprised Parkinson, Grigg is a shocking footballer. Whether he once had it I honestly don’t know, sometimes the environment is perfect and a player clicks, but he’s had to adapt and failed to do so. He’s not good enough, we have to cut our losses and get this lad out ASAP.
5. Signing Graham was a major, major bad decision by Parkinson and the club. What are Jones and Sloanes thinking here? They too are to blame in all of this as that move should have been vetoed at the very top before whoever suggesting the proposed transfer had a chance to finish their sentence. The fans did not want him here before, his displays proved us all right, we’ve then gone and signed the waster five years later or whatever it is. Fuck that, get him out now, get him out in January. People continue talking about rotten cores etc. the problem is, we keep on signing lazy, unambitious players who do not give a shit about improving or improving our club. We wouldn’t do any worse giving our young players an opportunity.
6. The new owners or whoever is stepping in need to start leading, we need investment, we need a proper recruitment team and we need to start blooding our top academy lads, Neil, Diamond, Younger, Kimpioka etc. They need to make a statement because what we are being served up here is totally unacceptable. This manager and some of the shite he and Donald etc. have signed are taking this club further into the mire, we either stop it now or wait until further damage is caused and we have absolutely zero chance of promotion.
Parkinson, you aren’t good enough, your tactics and failure to adapt your tactics has taken us further backwards, your insistence on selecting your favourites has seen us continue to fail and fail to take any opportunities to put pressure on our promotion rivals. Enough is enough, change is desperately needed throughout this club.
Additionally Graham admits he was a big part of the rotten culture previously...surely we should have done our homework before we signed him again.
I like Jones and Sloan but we really have to question them if they were involved in the decision to resign him.
