Surely That Is It For Parker Now?

ByTheRiver · February 15, 2020, 04:48:01 PM

Surely?

Anyone here still want to defend him? A budget double almost every team in the league. Abysmal. No shape, no plan, no clue as ever. Minimal attacking threat with, on paper, probably the best selection of attacking players ever grouped together in the championship.

Good managers design systems to make players better than they are. Bad managers make them worse. What is happening at present?

Hodgson competed with (and beat) some of Europe's best with Etuhu, Pantsil, Konchesky etc. Open your eyes and demand better, people.

Absolutely has to be, we need a manager that can at least make us competitive in the playoffs should we make it in the top 6.

Statto · February 15, 2020, 04:50:31 PM

Agreed, enough excuses

We've the best squad in the division and have got two thirds of the way through the season without breaking into the top 2

This week he was thrown a lifeline - a chance to keep up with the top 2 and make the last third of the season interesting. And he has totally squandered it.

He can take his anonymous mate Wells and go back to coaching the Spurs u21s.

Put Stuart Gray in charge. He knows the players and can't possibly do any worse than Parker, so it's risk free. Let him have a crack at the play-offs and either way, get someone new in the Summer.

Agreed ! Performances have not been good enough even when the results have been ! Players need to take their responsibility too, but it is time to move on !

Parker's under achieved with the squad at his disposal, unfortunately tho this should of been expected as he's a new manager learning his trade, should have never been given the job in the first place

Deeping_white · February 15, 2020, 04:53:31 PM

The only thing is, who do you bring in when you're 14 games from the seasons end who can give you a bounce and either make up the 3 point gap on Leeds or get us up via the play-offs? With the right manager it's absolutely still there for the taking as we have to play Leeds, but realistically who do we bring in? We could caretaker it with Gray until the end of the season but is he really going to unleash our attacking potential when he's always been fairly defence minded as a manager?

FYI I am in agreement with you though because with Parker we're now essentially looking at going 1-0 up and trying to see games out and it's not always going to work, and when we go 1-0 down we look absolutely amateur which with a team this good on paper just isn't good enough

Get rid, today showed exactly how clueless Parker is.

One Martin Thomas · February 15, 2020, 04:54:56 PM

Does Poch pay his redundancy back if he joins a Champ club for a few months 🙄

God knows ... who we'd bring in but this is torture and has been all season

What has Rodak making three blunders got to do with Parker?

Worcesterwhite · February 15, 2020, 04:57:51 PM

I've already said this before, we are going to do a West Bromwich of last season!!!! Inexperienced manger under achieving with a talented squad!The sooner people realize Parker's not up2 the job the better!

FFC1987 · February 15, 2020, 04:58:17 PM

Here we go. Us playing utterly pathetic is now just goalkeeping errors. Blimey.

mattFFC · February 15, 2020, 04:58:37 PM

He is obviously not going to get sacked with us in 3rd place and 14 games remaining...

Wait until the end of the season, see if we go up, if not bring in someone else = only way unfortunately

Sgt Fulham · February 15, 2020, 04:59:08 PM

Anyone but Parker

That with these players and a competent coach, a team like Barnsley wouldn't have got the ball near our goal 3 times today

Don't let three mistakes by a young keeper hide what was a cow of a performance! The performances have been atrocious all season !

Are you Parker in disguise 🤔

Skatzoffc · February 15, 2020, 05:01:42 PM

Its unbelievable but we are still in 3rd!

If results had gone differently in the last three games we would have tumbled to mid-table and SP would have been sacked.
Simple as.

We are not, and never have under SP, played to the strengths of the skilled players we have.
We hamstring their skills and the tactics are abysmal.

Whatever we say about Parker and Im not defending him,that was a very poor performance by the quality players we have. Tc, Knockhaert, Cavaliero , Mitro had shockers. So they need to look in the mirror too. The players looked as though they have had a bust up in the squad,turning their backs on each other etc.

Agreed. I put far more emphasis on the players than on Parker, but unfortunately for Parker this is not an uncommon viewing. Yes, the scoreline against us rare, but the atrocious style of play and mismanagement of team selections is common. Only want Parker out if Pocheitto would come in, but I still think it's a risk given our current position in the table.

Yes a lack of motivation and discipline isn't the manager's responsibility so obviously we can't blame Parker for that
