I will want a new manager if we don't get promoted.
Until that is determined one way or another, then Parky is the man, for better or for worse.
on here at times seem to act like it has already happened andwe are destined to another season in league 1 already!
Unless you are loan player, then you automatically get picked over one of our own. Just like last season, and we all know how that turned out.
Really don't know what you're on about on this ocassion, Dazzler...11 pts from nine games - yes, of course we are concerned. Doesn't mean we are calling for another bout of Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution, though...
I don't want a new manager at the moment but on the flip side I didn't want Parky to get an extension either. He has done nothing to deserve it yet. Reward him when, if, he achieves something.
Ok so who would you replace him with considering we have no money and the new manager can only work with what we already have?
In my opinion we stick with Parkinson.
what he said.
A winger who doesn't cut inside and lose the ball
A winger who can cross the ball on the run
a striker who can shoot straight from 20 yards
midfielders who can create chances for the forwards.........
.........and for forwards to take those chances
a team who dont think they are Arsenal & want to walk the ball into the net
No too much to ask for gawd's sake - this is football, not rocket science. A very simple game - get the ball into the net more times than your opponant..............and to do that you do actually have to aim the ball at the goal sometimes
Great idea lets keep changing the changing the Manager since it has has really worked idea since Curbs left.
Long way to go in the season and although yesterday was dissapointing we are still in a good postion.
Johnny iam 100% with you here mate nothing messes a club up more than most things.
Some of us are just exercising that 'right.'
Doesn't mean that we all want him out, but we would like for him to recognise crap performances rather than say 'it was a good point' or some such other crap.
There you are Dazzler, I've told you exactly what I want.
I really do feel that some people are ready to put up with any old shit. Coming away from last week's scaffolding I heard someone say on their mobile 'we probably just deserved the win.' I think he must have been watching another game on TV.
Good post Golfie.
I can't see where he says that it was a good point or some such other crap. He said,
"But today we didn't play as well as we can do.
"We had spells where we did play OK. I felt we were careless in possession at times, though, and gave the ball away cheaply and got punished for it.
"We've just got to take it on the chin and move on to next week."
"It's a long old journey to come up and we wanted to get back on the bus with a win. But it wasn't to be. We've got to improve on things that we did on the day and we will do that."
"Any defeat is tough to take. We've got high expectations at Charlton and we are disappointed by today's result.
"We are not going to get carried away with it; we've just got to make sure that the things we spoke about in the dressing room about what we could do better we put into practice."
It's easy when you your side is unchanged and winning every game, anyone could pick the same side every week.
So, I question how good is he in the tactical area's? We've not won away since August and only come from behind to win once all season.
You have to be able to see where things are going wrong and adapt your formation and/or personal to suit. We have the players to gain automatic promotion so no excuse there. Do we have the manager.
For the record, I'd have sacked him at the end of last season.

Exactly. So why offer him a new contract when we haven't yet seen if he is able to turn things around mid season, when things are not going so well?
It's a fair question. But I am convinced there must be a good reason we don't know about, whether it's to do with a looming vacancy at Reading , or something else.
Richard Murray is far too intelligent not to have learned from the last four costly managerial mistakes (and I'm including in that giving Parky the job last December when he hadn't won a single game) that you don't gratuitously hand out contracts or extensions when there is no compelling need to do so.
Well he did say he was waiting for that job i thought he would have gone to Reading during the summer but diddnt i was a bit surprised.
Once we held on to some key players, the expectation was a real contender
for promotion. We are, but for how much longer?
A midfield of Racon, Bailey, Semedo and Sam, with Shelvey in front of them,
is the match of any in this division, and should be a good match in The
Championship.
So take that quality, and the dross that is League 1, and we should be a
real contender.
It helped that Deon Burton had also gotten off to a solid start at striker,
most often as a lone striker.
The defense had done okay, and looked to get better with Sodje.
All reasons for optimism.
So what about Parky. Nice fellow. Players seem to want to play for him.
Should have been fired, but a lack of finances meant he got to stay against all
logic, if not the bottom line.
Parky conducted himself with dignity and consistency, in the face of a lot
of offseason questions. Not that he had a lot of (read: any) options, and he
did want the job. So he stays.
Parky looks at his squad, picks out what he believes is his best team and
formation. And away we go.
The team gets off to a very good start. The nice guy who appeared so out of
his depth last season didn't look so bad after all. And after Dowie and
Pardont, he is someone that we want to root for to be successful.
Playing in a league of butchers with a relatively thin squad, injuries and loss
of form were inevitable. So what is Parky to do when that happens?
Everyone seemed pretty content until Colchester, when a team with inferior
talent but superior size and brute strength, simply overpowered us.
I wouldn't blame that one on Parky. He didn't have the answers at his
disposal, and things like this happen in the lower leagues.
Now the team seems to stumbling. We are still in second place, thanks to
the first six matches rather than the last nine. Parky, unlike Pardont, didn't
attempt to chop and change a winning hand. But is he capable of making the
necessary changes to get things back on track?
Playing Burton with a hernia problem should not be happening. It is unfair
to Burton, it is unfair to the team. McKenzie isn't fit, MacLeod doesn't
seem to be the answer. But we do have a striker on-loan at Bristol Rovers that
is scoring goals and helping to keep an opponent in the promotion chase. Why?
We saw, time and again, how loan players sabotaged last season with a lack
of passion, commitment and performance to Charlton. For every Murty and
Song, there are 10 who come for the cash and a song.
An old cliche is that those who don't know history are destined to relieve
it.
Perhaps someone can give Mr. Parkinson a crash course in loan players so
our season don't come to a crash when it should be heating up.
Bringing in two loan players for Saturday's match at Carlisle, when he
could have used Charlton players, is another case in point. Particularly since
they joined late in the week. Did they even know their teammates, let alone
know how to fit into the way they wanted the team to play.
And what about demoralizing your own players, and their teammates, by
putting them straight in without them getting any time to bed in?
Parky didn't have to do that, but that was his decision. And the result
didn't add a spark to season, it did quite the opposite.
If he didn't think Randolph was good enough, didn't like his attitude, was
troubled by what happened at Hereford, then he never should have been
re-signed.
If he thought a third string keeper from Wolves, who had little more than a
walkthrough with his new loan mates was a better option in that
circumstance than Randolph, then he never should have re-signed Randolph.
If was afraid to play Randolph, fearing injury, knowing that he had to play
the FA Cup because the Wolves No. 3 was not eligible, then Parky needs a
shot of courage and common sense.
Had Parky selected Randolph and he failed, no one would have blamed Parky
for that choice. But he went with Wolves No. 3, unnecessarily unsettling
Randolph and others, as well as having the finger pointed in his direction
because the loanee from Wolves failed out of the shoot.
It wasn't that Parky made a bold decision, it was that he made an
unnecessary, nonsensical one.
Same thing with the young right back.
We have a talented right back on loan at Motherwell, but I accept that
finances are a major reason why he is there and remains so.
There were other options, Charlton options. But Parky chose to not go that
way. How many players did the decision unsettle to go with the loanees,
beyond just those that were not selected?
If Parky had chosen to stay with his own players in these spots, and they
didn't the job, then no one would blame him for blooding the loanees. But he
chose to trust those from the outside FIRST, and that could not have gone
down too well inside.
All Parky has proven this season is that he could pick his best team at the
start, and stick with it until it no longer works. He hasn't proven that he
has the acumen to make it work when changes are needed, either before or
during matches.
If Parky was not fired during and after last season, he is not going to be
fired this season by the present board.
Promotion is the main goal, and making the playoff is the minimum required.
Charlton needs someone more than a nice bloke who is not Pardont or Dowie.
Charlton needs a good manager.
We know that Parky has a reputation of being a good man. We need him to be
a good manager.
I would really like to read that Burton has gone for an op. Now must be the ideal time with a cup game coming up.
The same thing happened to Moo2 many times last season, and I strongly believe this led to the frustration that has caused the major problem that Parky now has with Moo2.
