It’s the opposite of an agenda ! It’s when taking us from 15th to 5th is used as achievement . We were 5th when he got the job . That’s where we are now. We have improved significantly since Boxing Day however it’s back to square one in terms of where we were . The test is the next four weeks when we play four of the top sides .
Well of course, there’s always a minority that go on like wailing morons, but any fan who says they were happy with our performances over Christmas and not questioning PPs decisions are deluded or lying.
I agree but if he does get us promoted we need to big enough to hold up our hands and admit we were wrong. He also deserves massive credit for turning us round.
........and then back to 5th again, why you omitted this fact is blindingly obvious.
Course it's an achievement. When he took over we looked vulnerable and couldn't keep a clean sheet. To improve us, this season, he had to make a drastic change. Can't change style and fitness over night.
It's the way in which the questions were asked/berated from the outset is where people get their little laughs in now. Nowt personal.
It’s absolutely right questions needed to be asked mate, but some of the comments on here were hysterical, disproportionate and without the benefit of clairvoyance, downright wrong. I didn’t want him but understanding he was here had no choice but to give him some time to try and pull us out of the shite. After what’s happened to us in the past I had that “ ere we f***ing go again” feeling.

he’s done a very good job so far. Who knew
Oh don’t misunderstand, a majority were asking questions, but a minority were over the top.Well... I linked above to two posts where I specifically was defending him
Regardless, as you say, it wasn't a minority and I think people are rewriting a lot of history regarding Donald and Parkinson as it suits them. Turning on the fanzines is a classic example, given that RAWA, ALS etc must have been reading here at Christmas thinking there were about 90% of the fanbase wanting Donald out at all costs.
I said it on 606 the other day, but people seem genuinely perplexed by the idea that their words here and on there impact how the fanzines acted. Whether it's rumours about FPP waiting in the wings and Donald being unreasonable, almost universal anti-Parkinson posts, demands that Donald leave etc, it made the fanzines feel that standing by and letting it play out was not an option. I disagreed with their action (specifically the timing) but I understand why they did it, and some of the people second guessing them should take a look back at the posts around December by many, many people on both boards and ask whether their conclusions were reflective of the majority of opinions.
If jumping to conclusions was an Olympic sport we’d have dozens of gold medal winners marra. Sometimes educational, sometimes inspiring, sometimes infuriating, but never boring.On the SMB? Never. I refuse to believe it. This website has a well earned reputation for not overreacting to wins or losses, ever.
Nah just some supporters are a little more grown up and patient.[
It doesn't fit the narrative of the whingeing little fannies on here who can't accept when they are wrong mate.
Must be one of the 10000 fans who always wanted Parky and knew he’d become a regional hero. Despite there being no evidence to support this position from prior to us winning games
