Had it been someone like Portsmouth or Hull it wouldn’t be so bad. But this is a side in the league below. I believe the possibility of a team in a league beneath yours beating you ought to be very remote at best. It's not natural that a team in a league beneath yours should beat you so badly. This is the biggest game that symbolises the level we have fallen to. Sickened does not come close. Disgusted does not come close.

Today hasn't altered anything, 8 changes and missing all of our key players. It's almost as if he deliberately picked that team because he wanted out of the cup ASAP

The wider context of our performances this season is still a worry, but whilst we are winning and in the mix for automatic promotion there is no way the club will sack Parkinson

Frankly, the bed wetting and whinging over a single defeat is mag-esque levels of embarrassing

I don't thinks it's bed wetting, I think its more expressing how atrocious some of the players we have on our books are.Dobson, for instance, is an absolutely woeful footballer who somehow, due to the inadaquacies of our scouting team, has managed to get himself a contract here.

That’s horseshit marra. We’ve just been beaten by the 22nd team in league two - outplayed in fact - while the dope in the dugout prioritised giving minutes to the plodders he’s filled the squad with rather than the young talent that this club needs to build upon in order to progress. His horrendously amateur attempts to alter the flow of the match are a very real worry for our prospects of going up this season. Brushing it off as a game that the manager wanted to lose is delusion if we’re being frank.

We're FAR too reliant on crossing the ball as our only method of attacking like, not that we didn't already know that. Makes us incredibly predictable to play against. Embleton will easily improve the quality of our midfield if we can get/keep him fit, although I'm not sure it'll matter if we continue just forcing it wide every time.

Funnily enough it’s all Parky talked about post game. Loves talking about crosses into the box

haha. He’s losing on purpose now?

ridiculous. He made changes because they’re the worst team in the entire league and we should have walked it.
