Nice one Wots ;-)) but I am serious, I can spend both my money and time better with my grandkids and thoroughly enjoy myself rather than wasting it on travelling to the Macron to be exasperated and annoyed. If I had a cat it would have been out of the flap as it heard me come up the drive. In nearly 60 years I've never been so angry and despondent coming out of the ground. If I can see a plan to something, or an improving situation, I can hack that and as you will know, we've had many of those over the years but this is the first time that I've felt that we're just hobbling along to nowhere, purely with existence as the goal. Whilst I can of course accept the current financial plight that Parkinson's enduring, it's no worse than the likes of Jimmy Armffield, Charlie Wright, Ian Greaves, George Mullhall and numerous others have faced but despite all those sometimes desperate periods I always felt the manager was adapting and attempting to improve things and most importantly to win games. I don't feel that way with Parkinson who, for all his likeability and work ethic just strikes me as completely thick. He has one mentality, don't lose and one method, hoof it and that's it. The one thing he has had in spades since hes been here though is luck. Lucky the Chairman can't afford to sack him and lucky, like last night with the results. I just hope that luck remains until the end of the season because if it doesn't I don't believe anything else will save us and certainly not Parkinson's total uselessness as a tactician and manager.
Feel better for getting that off my chest but apologies for the rant!!! 😉

The worst part of suffering 90 minutes at the Macron under Parkinson is the 90 minute journey home afterwards. That was excruciatingly bad, I was both angry and embarrassed at yet another woeful Parkinson performance and I don't know if I can stand it much longer. Certainly, if this excuse for a manager is still there next year, I definitely won't be. That has to be the worst and most disappointing match I can remember since probably Bury and Chesterfield last year. What is Parky saying to the players? The whole of the second half they just looked completely terrified. Just like last year, I really don't know how we keep managing to cobble together the points but somehow we are and manage to bring most teams down to our level. It's putrid, disgraceful stuff completely void of entertainment but will hopefully somehow manage to cobble together enough points to keep us up. Please God let KA find a buyer who will surely ditch this clown because otherwise I'm giving up with football altogether. Don't talk about it do it , that's what I and 6 others did when fat sam started his bootball stuff , but I will warn you Saturday afternoons can be very boring , the choice is yours

Feel better for getting that off my chest but apologies for the rant!!! 😉 Think you’ve nailed it W63 with the luck comment as it’s spot on. How many lucky points have we won? How many unlucky managers have been potted for a lot less than what PP has dished up (in all divisions) And of course, how lucky is Phil Parkinson to have a chairman that not only offered him a contract extension before we’ve kicked a ball in the Championship, but does not have the resources to pot him?? And it will only be by luck that we stay up What a lucky chap!!

I am not a Parky fan BUT where he has succeeded with our team of journeymen, is to instill an incredible fighting, never say die spirit. He also manages to get great responses from guys that he leaves out game after game. Jem Karacan was playing in the developement squad, watched by Parky and I thought that he was busting a gut for the team and showing his talents (ex Reading Captain ffs). Finally got his chance on Tuesday and was MOTM for me and many others posting on the BN website. Alfie? How sick must he have felt and yet he also busts his guts for us after being left on the bench or not even on the bench for so long - now he and Ameobi are getting the loudest chants from the fans.
If we were at this stage with the lack of trust/respect the team had for our last 4 managers, he would have "lost the dressing room" so I take my hat off to him for this feat.

3 points in the bag BUT forget about playing football 13 games to go = 39 points we need 17 to get to 50. Seven games away and six at home do the maths we need to pick up at least 5 points away from home and that will leave four home wins out of six that's top six standard gosh it's going to wire COYWM.
