I didn't support Parky when he was given the job after his caretaker session. But in fairness, he did start this season well, and i started to warm to him.
Sadly in recent weeks his management has become bizzare. If we lose tonight....he loses me.

Our results have been worse since Bailey moved to the middle. Bailey may play better in the middle, but the team don't.
We need Semedo in there, for everything gain from dropping him, we lose so much forcing Racon or Bailey to sit back and having to concentrate on defending. Shame Racon won't play there, it could suit him.
I'd also say Reid doesn't deserve to start after Tuesday, made Sam's decision making look good.
Shame about McKenzie though, is he just not match fit or Parky doesn't rate him any more? He must have rated him enough to sign him considering he's had injury problems.
I like Bailey on the left, I though he had a lack-lusture performance on Tuesday. But yes 5 in midfield is a must, McKenzie came on a looked the most threatening attacker in on the pitch. Sodje can't challenge for a header, has a poor first touch and while he is a good finisher is rarely in the right position in order to do so!
Bradley Allen was critical of Mckenzie not closing down Southend players during time added on and implied I thought that laziness might be why he doesn't get a start.
I wasn't there so cannot comment on whether or not that is fair.

Could be, we've seen Kinsella shouting at Dickson to close down before, was surely one of the areas of his game they wanted Dickson to improve.
