Parker spells pure misery ...

[jayffc]

We play even worse with Mitro starting. It's just how it is, Scott doesnt know how to utilize him what so over.
Maja up front through the middle, get back to the team that started prior to the City game. We should have stuck with them through that patch and we didn't. I understand completely that Mitro did great on international duty, but he aint cutting it for us. It may not even be his fault, but under Parker he's been useless.
I was optimistic with how we were starting to shape up with Josh through the middle and Aina attacking on the left... Had it with SP at the moment. We can but pray that Newcastle continue to be dogs*** or we will be down before long. Hope we can at least be within 3 points for the last game of the season. But my lord it feels grim after watching that shower again

I don't think it's been a question of selection/formation for a while but more a question of attitude.  You can bet your bottom dollar that Newcastle will scrap v Burnley as if their lives depend on it.  Their energy and fight against Spurs was a world away from the way we play.  Scott will probably talk about principles and philosophy but sometimes you simply just have to battle and fight.

Same old posters will come here and suggest England are in the wings, or a top club are waiting on a manager who has a 15-16% win ratio in the prem. Utter dreamers.

Your so right - his record is truly appalling. Two home wins in a full season  - West Bromwich and Sheff utd. 9 goals at home all season. You would have thought after 30 games he might try something more attacking ...

Get in Eddie Howe asap before he joins Celtic

Bring back Slav I say! what I'd give to see what he could do with this team now we have a decent defence!

Somebody tell me that if you replaced Parker with Sir Alex, what would he see when he looked down the Fulham bench? Would he discover a striker or an attacking mid that Parker has overlooked?  There ain't nothing there gentlemen.

Down to Tony then?

Josh Maja? A player who is a natural goal scorer.

Why would Howe join?

[H3Matt]

Don't worry guys. Somewhere in Florida, Tony Khan is looking at his score update and smiling as he realises he gets to continue to live his dream of being in charge of a yo-yo club. And this is while he's super busy writing the utterly important next episode of AEW Dynamite while he's also on a conference call with the Jags defensive coach telling them how to defense.

I fear his optimism is shared with a tiny minority

He won't throw the towel in it is not in his nature, he is probably hurting more than anybody.

Agree

Hodgson did it, Tuell is doing it at chelsea after fat frank, it's not the players but the manager and his tactics

[David Allen Crankshaw]

I don't understand why people are so keen on Eddie Howe. He got Bournemouth relegated after spending a significant amount of money. Perhaps it's a case of swapping like for like. It's a shame we have so little in the U23 team that could give us some hope for promotion next season. With
so many loan players due to return to their parent clubs next season we could be in rather a pickle for season 2021-22.

They were riddled with injuries when they got relegated and arguably had a squad even worse than ours

no chance of getting Eddie Howe. He is Celtic bound

He might of noticed Josh Maja and put him on from something earlier than the last 10 minutes yes... Josh Maja who's arrival saw us playing more fluidly in attack
He might also work out that what worked for Mitro before was getting to the byline and cutting back or chipping in to the box and work on making space for him.
He might also be able to organise some sense of attacking urgency, and he certainly wouldnt' p***yfoot around , I'd expect his teams to come out with a fire in their belly or risk his wrath.

Perhaps he coach the players and made tactical changes that worked, I sure at Aberdeen he didn't have a team of world-beaters but managed to win a European trophy 

[itombomb]

People are right that there is an absence of quality, but when you look at the Burnley, Palace (outside of Zaha) or Brighton, they're not teams with much (if any) more quality in their squads.

We've failed to score in 10 of 16 home games. It's really not good enough, and I'm just so bored of watching a Parker team play football.

Why not start with Josh Maja? At least putting him on the bench saved me some money but it severely reduced the chances of a Fulham win.

In the hour or two of football he and Mitrovic have played together it appears like no one knows what do do when we go to a proper 442.
