Well he did have a sniff at Charlton and looked a bit meh tbf. There seems to be this assumption that these players deserve to be in ahead of players that have got 47 points from their last 24 games? Are they showing they deserve to be in Monday - Friday? Are they team doing so terribly that we should take the risk of playing players just because they are young?

He didn't play against Charlton. He got 70 mins against Swindon cos Willis got injured. And if you think he is a bit 'meh' after a motm performance and an average performance , then what on earth would you describe Dobson and powers performances as over the last 2 or 3 years ffs

Hume has a knee problem, and McFadzean plays in that position.

Doesn't Dion Sanderson as well? When was the last time McFadzean played competitively? Players need time to get up to speed according to the words of Parkisaurus himself yet he throws in an out of fitness senior pro at the very first chance. He talks utter shit and is rightly being called out on here.

Sanderson has played on the right, not the left.

Of course, Embo is being led back from injury, but he may well come in the second half.

If Parko is true to form neither Embo or Neil will come off the bench. I maybe in danger becoming a bit of a moaner but I was very encouraged when the club and Parkinson said they would provide the pathway to the first team as an effort to reverse the trend of talent leaving the club. The fact that PP has shown he really has no intention of doing this is pretty demoralising. Promotion is absolutely paramount this season but our loss of young talent will affect us for many years to come and I would imagine as long as Parkinson is here that trend will continue. Neil may or may not have a lot to learn but what is not in doubt is that Dobson and Power offer very, very little.

Fair point - however, Power, Dobson and Maguire have shown enough recently to show that they definitely dont deserve to be in the team. The point is that he views older players differently regardless of form.

Tbh I think this is a fair criticism of Parkinson but slightly overplayed by some. I think at least 2 of them should be in the match day squad every week and i would like to see one of Neil or Embleton start in a game like today. If they play today and do well then Parkinson will feel more confident on relying them if there are injuries or lack of form amongst the current team. However the 'fury' at it is a bit OTT :lol: and certainly those that think they should be playing every week need their heads examining.
