Yeah but he didn’t play Chris Dickson in the Championship, what does he know?Garrymanilow said:

Did I ever tell you about Swansea and Reading away in the space of a week when he got us relegated?Garrymanilow said:

@LargeAddick has a pathological dislike of Parky that will never be shifted!1

Parky inherited a horrible mess from Dowie and Pardew. For some he was tainted by his association with Pardew but he was no more responsible for Pardew’s squad than Bowyer was for Robinson’s. Narrowly missed out on automatic promotion the first time around for the want of being given budget for a half decent striker. Second time around he has even less to work with but still has us firmly in playoff contention. The sainted Powell could only steer that squad straight down to mid table, for comparison. He was perfectly decent for us, without setting the place alight. Third best manager we’ve had since Curbishley.10

He had a worse points per game return than Pardew in that most pathetic of relegations2

Yeah, but Parky as Colchester manager signed Jacko from Spurs ..... who skippered Colchester to promotion and for 2 seasons in the Championship under Parky.Richard J said:
Jackson came from Notts County.Callumcafc said:Exiled_Addick said:
Yeah, what was the name of that left back/left midfielder he signed from Colchester? Disastrous signing.LargeAddick said:

Good question... was it hmmm, Jackie Johnson?2 -
Struggle to remember a completed pass from him so far, to be fair having to play virtually box to box midfield in bowyers broken system won’t be helping.Leuth said:
I fuckin called itLeuth said:I usually have good feelings about players and usually urge us to give them all a fair crack of the whip
I do not have a good feeling about this signing at all0 -

If he'd been worth signing I doubt we'd have got him.0

Thought he was a winger. Why not play him there?2
-
Sharon Ambrose mkII. Luxury player with no upside. Has walked through most of his appearances so far. Doesn’t appear to like running. Thought we’d at least get decent technique from him but his inability to trap a bag of cement was the root cause for their first goal.Looks lazy and casual. No idea why he’s keeping Aneke out of the 18, at least Aneke’s bulk might cause a bit of havoc.2
-
Just watched Bowyer’s post match comments. I’m reading between the lines, but I wouldn’t be surprised if McGeady is training with our U23s before much longer. Suspect the disagreement between him and Parky was over whether or not a professional footballer should be expected to run.1
-
He had a shot at goal, which is more than most of the others!
But why on earth is he playing so deep!
Not at all impressed so far, but would like to see what he can do in his favoured position. He has a great pedigree, so we know the talent is there.
Too early to write him off, but he needs to produce quickly now, similar to Hemed who has had far longer to make an impact.1 -
I would I would think that as he’s more of a luxury player and due to his style of play that he’d be better playing in a front 3, 5 in midfield, behind the striker or as a striker. NOT as part of a 4 man midfield.

Interesting interview from him expressing regret he didn't join Preston permanently three years ago .
He says he is staying in London and his family is still in Durham.

I think for @LargeAddick its two-fold (and yes, I do know I'm hijacking a thread; replying to a post 3 months later.....)Ormiston_Addick said:@LargeAddick has a pathological dislike of Parky that will never be shifted!
Firstly at a Bromley Supporters meeting Richard Murray said that Parky would be judged on results & having not won in about 8 games (losing most) would be sacked. RM never followed through on that pledge.
Secondly, as Large says, we went to Swansea fighting for our lives & being 1-0 down with 10 mins to go we expected to throw the kitchen sink at Swansea. Instead we meekly surrended & never gave it a go. Large was furious at this....... I know because I had to share a car journey home with him.1 -
Yes we did draw them both and that is the point. He was more concerned with going on a little unbeaten run so he could keep his job than he was with keeping us up. I particularly remember Swansea away, do you? We were drawing in a game we had to win although the chances of us staying up were slim but hey ho you’d think you would give it a go eh? No not Parky. About ten minutes to go he takes off a midfielder and I think great he’s going to bring on another striker and go two up top but no he brings on a different midfielder. WTF. Oh well we drew and Parky kept his job. Job done for him, happy days.Garrymanilow said:LargeAddick said:

Made a good impact for that 1 month loan period, then when we signed him on a free that summer, didnt play much the following season0 -
Parkinson had a worse ppg return, in that most pathetic of relegations, than Pardew !0

Also played for Southampton who we got him on loan from towards the end of his career1 -
we seemed to have a shed load of rubbish loans in the Pardew/Parky championship period.0
-
I thought Murty did alright. Wasn't brilliant but considering we had no money at all we got in a decent enough player who was at least experienced. Not massively dissimilar to Andy Hughes in what he could offer while he was there.
