Phil and Neil have a very solid record with loanees.
Have made or are making an impact:
Connor Hampson - gone on to become a first team regular
Chris Merrie - valuable contributions alongside Moult during the NPL run-in
Yusifu Ceesay - big part in the 18/19 run-in
Owen Dale - quality during his time here
Ashley Hemmings - solid
Joe Piggott - solid enough
Billy Sass-Davies - looking like he'll be solid
Josh Lundstram - class
Andy Dales - potential is there
Joe Robbins - tidy enough
Alistair Smith - looks a player
Didn't make an impact for whatever reason:
Brendon Daniels
Josh Langley - didn't play a first team game?
Chris Sang
Nathan Waterston - got injured a few minutes after coming on?
Ethan Walker
Do you want to do one of the permanent signings we've made?
I think it's people like you who Parky was alluding to in his post match interview
Parkinson needs to get a thicker skin. Dare he go to a bigger club, he'll meet far worse than "Tom Peers isn't a conference player" (you'll notice he didn't start in any of our three wins). Or "Go and spend some money on permanent players".
You can be positive and criticise;. As they say, good is the enemy of great.
His loan signings have changed the season numerous times; but his player recruitment has been very hit and miss
He seems to have an incredible knack for realising when a player doesn't hit the mark and adapt quickly by changing it. I don't think you can question him beyond that. 2 promotions in 3 seasons would suggest his recruitment within the confines of the budget he's been allocated has been absolutely spot on.
I also don't think he was complaining about individual comments I think he's disappointed when we go 2 games without a win in the national league etc and some people start calling for changes or to get rid of players. I think he see's the whole club, fans included, as a collective and is probably disappointed to see some people being negative at the first sign of something not being 100% right.
Personally, I believe he doesn't deserve any criticism, (constructive or not) given his record. However, i do think we start every season slowly and I suspect that's because Parkinson has a system (or systems) that takes time to implement properly and perhaps relies on players being fully match sharp before it's 100% effective. Early signs suggest it's coming together again which is a testament to him and Sorvs being able to play effectively the way we do as a part time side in this division.
