He is right. We need to get behind this team. What has happened off the pitch shouldn't be put onto him or the players who are giving their all!
spot on . I have posted a few times around backing Phil and this team.
Was only a couple of weeks ago certain people were casting doubt over him
Laughable really
If you follow a team surley you want them to do well
Its sad that some berate a defeat immediatley but are silent in victory
2 sides to every coin
Some of the criticism can be OTT at times (as can some of the praise for what should be regulation victories at this level), however if fans aren't allowed to ask questions and raise concern when we are losing and drawing at 'counties' level teams in competitive first-team fixtures, then when can they?
Wayno is right. We're winning games FFS! I don't understand this arrogance that it is expected we should be walking this league. It is the level we are operating at and we must face facts that it is our own performances that have resulted in this demotion, regardless of whatever influences or circumstances surround the club. No team anywhere has an automatic right to get out of a lower league they have dropped into. Consider how fans of teams like Luton or Portsmouth, for example, must feel after dropping so far. Yes, we have dropped 2 divisions quickly and that disappoints me as much as anyone but I will cheer and enjoy every Alty victory regardless of our league standing. I know some people think the quality of this league is bad but I've enjoyed the games I've attended this season and we go to be entertained by as a well as support our team.

I was talking about the FA Cup draw and defeat Col, not the league games. You may consider it arrogance, but I think they were games most people did expect to win. I certainly did. Not that it's necessarily a disaster that we didn't win (didn't we get promoted the year we lost at Trafford?), but I don't have any issue with people questioning the manager in the aftermath of both games - plus a poor league result at Workington.
And as for the league itself, it's far from Parkinson's fault but at our lowest ever level, by default, every game we lose has the potential to be considered the worst league result in our entire history. And so the reaction that accompanies defeats at Evostik League level probably shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
