Parker IN or Parker OUT?

[Sgt Fulham]

Just want to do a poll on this. Given the option of sacking him tonight, are you Parker in or Parker out?

[MikeCdawg]

I think we're destined for playoffs regardless. So Id give him until the end of the season. If he fails at playoffs then he must go. I'd only sack him tonight if we were in real danger of missing out on playoffs, which we aren't

[Tempest]

How about if Parker out a replacement is mentioned too? I'm Parker in by the way!

I was considering an option for 'out at the end of the season' but decided against it to force people to make a snap decision. I am mostly in agreement with you, apart from I am so bored of watching us play that I just want a change regardless.

Making the playoffs but not getting promoted would by no means be a success. I have no doubt we will get soundly beaten in the playoffs, but I feel it will be enough to keep Parker in the job. I also feel Parker believes that is good enough.

Out btw. Played off the pitch by the bottom placed team

OUT

When you have 33 matches worth of evidence that he's performing poorly, why would you wait until 46, 48 or 49 matches for the failure to be confirmed before making a change? We're fortunate we still have a shot at salvaging promotion.

Bang on, get rid before its too late.

I remain in the Parker IN camp, despite today and some other like-for-like performances. We're still in 3rd, 1 win behind Leeds in 2nd. I still like Parker, his style is too slow though... this better be the wake up call.

I just don't think there's enough time for a new manager to come in and push us forward. A month ago, maybe. But there weren't many calling for Parker's head at that rime

There's too many games that should have been the wake up call unfortunately.

It's a large enough sample, I agree. If we were improving then I'd be more lenient, but we have only improved defensively because Hector is incredible, and despite today Rodak has been immense in goal and saved us many points in games we were outplayed.

[Facts Not Fiction]

So long as we're in the playoff spots, he will stay. We are underperforming, but not that badly to warrant a panic.

We are not one win behind Leeds.  Our goal difference means we require 4-points more points than them to overtake them.

It has been grim viewing all season.  Apart from Millwall at home.  Shalid says in his programme notes today "we're grinding out favourable results".  Well we did not today.  It was truly woeful but unfortunately not an isolated match.  The performance followed on from the poor showing on Wednesday.  There have been more dour and dreary performances this season than entertaining ones.  Snatching points from these games has resulted in most of us shrugging our shoulders and accepting "it must be ok then".

I am shocked that we are still third in the table and extremely disappointed that today we again failed to show the required intensity (Parker's own words from his press conference, not mine).  Second best all over the park and Parker says he never saw it coming.  I manage a team of people and if they performed as we did today and I said that to my boss I'd be collecting my P45.

Shake him all about

The loan players we signed permanent in the window told me that we are aiming for a couple of years in the championship. None of this team are either good enough for the Premier league or want to play in it. We have become too comfortable for them.

[Dodger53]

Parker didn't see it coming.... I did.

Hopefully in the Motspur Park complex tonight there is a single office light on with just two cars in the car park.  Only one car will leave, the other recipient will leave his keys and get a final taxi home.

I have felt all season that we have to give Parker a fare crack of the whip and keep him until the end of the season. However today's performance was terrible and a lot of others recently have been poor. Our attack are just not bothering opposing defences.

However there is just a remote chance of play offs whereas it is difficult to see what a new manager could achieve in only 13 matches. I think we have to stay with Parker although the rest of the season could be painful.

Amongst fellow season tickets at the back of H7 we have been talking about this too.  Team of average and above average Championship players comfortable to be winning more games than than they lose and being paid reasonably for their time. 

Their incentive if we go up? Out of their depth in Premiership, benched, squad player or sold.  Hardly likely to motivate them to put a shift in to get the club promoted.

We need players hungry to prove themselves, battle and survive in the Premiership.
