Pedro/Grud, I fully accept and respect what Parkinson did last year in steadying a sinking ship and stopping the rot. I can even give him some credit for promotion despite his best efforts to prevent it with negative and boring tactics. As far as I'm aware he was paid for that, so for me he was rewarded for doing his job. That said, it must have been clear both from what we saw and more importantly his history and record that he's out of his depth in the Championship and until proven not worth an extended contract. As for survival, I'm sorry but you see something I don't. We're still in a relegation position and with the way he plays, unlikely to be out of it for the long term. I don't see survival under him because if we can't beat underperforming teams, what chance have we against the better ones? Yes I'm being negative and I do understand the ups and downs of being a Wanderer, but current wounds are self inflicted in my opinion if we let Parkinson retain control.

We went 8 without a win and without scoring a goal and based on last night you can see why. That's 32 away games without a win. And based on last night you can see why.
We were outclassed first half. It looked like an FA cup 1st round match with part time minnows taking on a professional side.
As I said in the Madine thread. I think parky has shunned ALF for the last time and he's downed tools leaving us with untried Hall.
Yes you can take the positives. Extended unbeaten run. Away point. Clean sheet. Keeper untested. You could also point out that a 0-0 was all we could have hoped for. Little and Ameobi stood out as out bring sparks. The link up was promising.
Negatives was that every other player seem to not have the ability to pass a ball, how many times did we hoof aimlessly? And I think for Vela that's as bad as you can get. From open play I don't recall him touching the ball and his set pieces were absolutely woeful. Last seasons success was built on a solid defence and scoring from set pieces. What's gone on? Is it a heavier ball? Are the pitches so much bigger in this league?
Dervite, Morais, Karacan and ALF were all out of contract in the summer. He extended them. Ken must be wondering why. He also brought in Burke, Cullen, Wilbraham, noone Buckley and again Ken must be wondering why.
I think Parkinson needs help in scouting and buying players, coaching, tactics and management. Apart from that he's doing ok

All said and done we are all Wanderers fans no matter how long we have been going watching or not we still want the same thing to win football matches. I know I write a load of bollocks sometimes and I know a lot of people don't agree with what I say but all said and done it's each individual opinion. We are 💩 at the moment but if we stay up we will all be singing from the same hymn sheet and it's not pretty COYWM.

Despite my comments I agree chip that the end goal would be survival(short term) and then winning games from then on in until a promotion chase.
However Parkinson is a paper over the cracks manager. A turn the car radio up to mute the sounds of the engine failing.
We cannot do the basics. We cannot pass, shoot or defend well enough at this level and I won't be really happy until we get a complete system in place.
Last season was the perfect time to start afresh and bring some young blood in. Granted that was not how Ken would see it but if he played the long game he would.

Based on my post regarding the International break, I had a feeling that the wolves would be circling, if we didn't win. We didn't lose, so that's plus. Also, the clean sheet. PNE are no slouches too.
Recent form stats show last 6 matches then we hold 8th in the table. That's not bad is it?
Did we lose momentum? We'll see on Tuesday night.
Signed Meths.

Come the end of season, I really hope that the extra 2 points we could have got V the depleted defence of PNE does not make the difference between staying up and going own!! We certainly rode our luck in keeping a clean sheet
Let’s hope it doesn’t eh?
