Bears Beets
Striker
I want him out and remain very unconvinced but I can see some encouraging signs.
need a win on Saturday mind then we can look at it again.

f***ing shit.
Performances are still f***ing shit.
He needs binning right now. Why are people not relentless in wanting him out?
If Grigg could be arsed we wouldnt need a striker.We need a big performance on Saturday. Ultimately if we are going to sign someone we should spend the lot on one striker
Broadly agree with that. I was really uncertain a few weeks ago because we looked so bad, almost like our worst days in the Prem. Could kind of deal with that then, but in League 1 it was just awful. Given that, I wasn't sure Parkinson should be given a transfer window, he hadn't really proven he deserved it. But the last three matches, you can see signs of life. Even the Bolton match was an improvement, you could see the plan and the shape, it just wasn't quick enough and lacked the final ball. The last two have built on that. It's not great, but the foundations of success are evident. It's worth riding with him for now to see if it can be sustained.
Last 2 games have been the best footy since before ross arrived.Keep ya cutlery ready for ya pieHow long do you give someone performing so shit like?? If he had been in charge a year would his results be less acceptable?
I’d gladly eat humble pie. I highly doubt I will be though

You're assuming the keyboard warrior OP actually goes to our games.Next home game hold up a Parkinson out banner
We missed chances today but people seem to forget big john making a few decent saves himselfDoesn’t take much to please you does it Steve, fella? Never mind - Phil has got us playing some cracking stuff.

Holy shit! A well constructed, detailed post! I thought these days were well gone on here.A few points from me:
- Parkinson wasn't a popular choice. As a result, he's been on the back foot from day dot with little or no support from the fans;
- He inherited a team in poor form, low on confidence and lacking quality, certainly in the final third;
- There's onviously been issues behind the scenes that he's also had to contend with, consequently McGeady has been transfer listed much to dissatisfaction of many fans, myself included, however I think we can all agree that he has been poor this season when given a chance and particularly poor under Parkinson. Whether that's Parkinson's fault, McGeady's unwillingness to play or something in between, we don't know, but a decision has been made and we have to accept it;
- We've earned 4 points out of the last two games, two games which honestly I expected little from (that's how far we've falled), but we must give credit where credit is due. We outplayed both sides and have looked a lot better than what we have become used to. We battled all game today and were very unfortunate not to get all three points. I felt we were better than Fleetwood all over the park.
To summarise, I don't think now is the time to be getting on Parkinson's back, we may well have turned a corner, I'm desperately hoping we have. A win against Lincoln and a few new signings could put us back in the promotion picture.

It’s a game we should’ve won, no denying that. Need to find a way to get all 3 points Saturday Chops.We missed chances today but people seem to forget big john making a few decent saves himself
Didnt see much of today. Did we play OK or did we regress back again to pre-Donny?
I agree but if they pay the £10 mill loan back, we have only SD's kitty money, and after the shit he has had, and the fact the club will not be his by end of Feb I don't think he will spend a pennyWe need a big performance on Saturday. Ultimately if we are going to sign someone we should spend the lot on one striker

Our pen was a blatant foul mind. Some dispute as to whether or not it was in the boxWere largely the better side. Their goal came from some poor defending where we had several opportunities to clear very early on, but messed up a header - Wyke went for it and didn't get there but I don't think there player got it either. Would have to see it back but it was soft IMO.
We looked better in possession than them, still lack quality in the final third and were a bit direct, but there were signs of some decent play, especially down the left with Gooch and Hume.
Second half we started strong, Wyke header hit the post (or was it left post and then the right?), O'nien missed an absolute sitter from a few yards out and I think Maguire missed a chance. We were the better side for the first ten to 15 and then they started getting into it again. They occasionally broke on us, McLaughlin made another couple of decent saves and as time wore on we started to make subs to try and affect the game, a couple of quite attacking ones. We were the better side again but quality in the final third was still a bit lacking and then Watmore got on the ball again and ran into the penalty area from the right and fell over - we got a pen, which I haven't seen back but looked soft as fuck. Maguire scored.
By that point we had a bit of a head of steam and were trying to put pressure on, had a few attacks but nothing really materialised. 4 mins were added on and the game more or less just petered out.
It's late and I've had a few beers so it might not be accurate, but it was full of effort and fight again.
Good.3 wins in 17. Are you for real? I’ve no words.
