1-0 whites, wheater header 

Lowe is consistent, he's neither great nor terrible. 

He can't head for shit though! 

I disagree that a change of manager won't change our fortunes, this squad is good enough for this league but not being set up right, there doesn't seem to be any semblance of organisation in the set up, there's strange decisions being made.

Why for instance is Magennis taking throw ins when he should be getting on the end of them? bit like Kane taking corners for England.

A change now gives the new man 2 weeks to sort out a system that WILL work with the squad we have, and just over a month to see where we need new players and identify required players, it's all too easy to say stick with Parkinson as he knows this squad, but he's not getting anywhere near the best out of what he has.

 

Hard to take given we had chances to score .Decent fifteen minutes when we actually played through the wee fella .

Agree we lump it too much but is that due to bad tactics or inferior players did Swansea create any chances second half?

Thought we deserved a point.

Accept that alnwick generally goes long but I've no issue with that

I honestly don't remember beevers going long until the last 20

I've decided we have loads of players who are much of a muchness

It's tempting to go for depth but the more I watch it, I feel less quantity, more quality is preferable

I saw enough from ameobi to know all is not lost but the win needs to come soon, whoever is the manager

 

Fair enough 

we’ve seen it now week in week out for 2 and a half years. For me, we haven’t evolved as a team, the players we have obviously have but the way he sets us up is in no way getting the best out of the better quality he signed in the summer 

last season he and the team performed a miracle really staying up but we haven’t got any better and our opposition have. With PP in charge where we are now will always be our ceiling as he hasn’t got any other way. Personnel may change, formation too but our conservative, cautious direct style never does. 

We need a drastic up turn in performances and results over a long period now and for me he isn’t the man to get it out of them 

Not really impressed by any of ours apart from Ameobi. Relying on him banging one in from 30 yards isn't going to keep us up though.

 

Time for a change.

The whole outcome just felt so inevitable. Swansea knock the ball about really nicely and seemed like the could step it up a gear if the needed to. 

Ameobi certainly made a difference, but ultimately it wasn't enough.

It’s a shame it’s come to this. Parkinson has done a fantastic job for the last couple of years but if he stays much longer, then that work will be forgotten.

Our lack of a plan going forward is evident. We are devoid of any creativity and identity. We don’t counter attack, we don’t out pass teams, we have no clue what to do once the balls in the opposition half. 

There’s no doubt Parky in last chance saloon and a lot of his decisions I’m finding difficulty in agreeing with for example giving Doidge 10 minutes today, but I’m hoping he gets up to the Wigan game and if after that game we’ve not picked up minimum of 5 points I’m afraid it’s time to call a halt on his time. 

Writing was on the wall early when Ameobi flicked it to Olkowski who played an absolutely brilliant cross in to no man’s land with loads of whip and Donaldson was nowhere near it; flat footed and not attacking the space.

I’d say we possibly deserved a draw but not much more - they could’ve scored a few too. And they didn’t seem to have much quality either really.

unless there’s a mentalist out there who fancies losing loads of £££ very, very quickly, our only chance of survival is if PP goes sooner rather than later

yeah the players aren’t great, but he’s just not getting the most out of the group for me. And if we have a little bounce, it may just be our saving grace.

If we can afford to sack him it’s time to be ruthless

Sack the guy, these players can be coached, just not by him

First time we've lost 4 home games in a row without scoring... in our history.

Record-breaking Wanderers are back again!

I mentioned today how many times we have broken records in our history in recent years but all bad records. Didn’t realise this was another. Sick to my back teeth with it

Looking at the next 6 fixtures, we could easily lose them all

My view is that we are going down if we keep Parky. If we can't afford to replace him, we are, therefore, going down

Couldn't make it today so can't comment on the game itself

Pot Parky and install who as manager?

Some of the names I've seen suggested are laughable. Tired old has-beens like McCarthy

We are in serious shit but I've no idea what the answer is other than a Saudi billionaire. 

Th'East Midlands Whites are just back, and are drinking heavily.

Odd thing today - not only did we have a Yank guy come up under the ESL before the game and ask if it was only booze not hot drinks banned from the seats , but also the three lads sat behind us were all French. Wonder if it's some deal with the Uni? Or summat.

Either way, I doubt they'll be back

Do we need a name if it’s keep Parkinson all season Or say throw David Lee in I know what I’d choose 

its stale he’s not a championship manager and gates are dropping

Averaged 3 shots on target in each of those 4 games too

its ok PP coming out and saying ultimately it’s about sticking the ball in the back of the net but he’s either overlooking or refuses to acknowledge that the lack of efforts on goal is the issue. We always concede so need to finish 2 of the 3 shots we have. I can’t personally remember many being guilt edged chances we should’ve buried either

whichever way you look at it all roads lead back to him and his tactics. Simple as

Why is McCarthy laughable? His record pisses all over PPs all day long, even at Ipswich

Laughable is sticking with PP because you think there's no one who could do a better job then what we're currently seeing 

McCarthy might be shit but he’s certainly less shit at this level than what we’re currently getting

Anyway

My view of ameobi close range miss was that it was easier to score

I'm a long way away

What happened

Real shame cos the build up was great

Absolute sitter. All he had to do was steer it on target and it was in. Keeper was virtually on the other side of the goal and he can’t have been more than 6 yards out. Can only assume he didn’t realise how much time he had to pick his spot and snatched at it a bit.

It’s not Parky missing those chances, and I’m not convinced he’s instructing Beevers to lump it forward although admittedly that was far less frequent than usual. That said, he can only be judged on the results and put simply our scoring record is absolutely pathetic. 

Scary how much we relied on just getting the ball to Ameobi and hoping for the best, but at least lumping it forward only becomes Plan B at that point. 

who cares anyway

there are more important things in life than football

i 've been banished to the west wing whilst she watches strictly.

so not a lot else to do

my mum has just had a stroke and is very poorly , so PP's usual serving of shite does bother me at the moment.

It’s time for a change - this squad should be consistently better than they are playing.

who? I’ll trust ken to set priorities quick fix big mike maybe? my preference would be some random German with bobbed hair or cool specs or both and start a new revolution
