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

What on earth was that all about anyway? I don’t tend to follow social media too closely, but the worst I’ve seen is a few people saying some of the players we had weren’t good enough to win games in the Conference. Which they weren’t. So Parkinson signed some better ones (like Smith - looks a good player), and we’ve started winning games. Which suggests he probably agreed with it all along anyway.
Unless I’ve missed something?

He's done it every year. He's got a chip on his shoulder about criticism. He won't like it at Wrexham or Halifax...

If we’ve lost then something has gone wrong or wasn’t good enough to win. Fans like to share their opinions on what that was. It’s not automatically a criticism or something we think Parky or the club should have fixed but that seems to be how he often takes it.

For example our pitch is not very good and sometimes people say so on here. That is a statement of fact, it’s not a criticism of the groundsman or his team or of the board for not installing some sort of under soil pumping system  We all know it’s called moss lane for a reason and those involved do a good job all things considered. Similarly Billy SD isn’t as good at playing out from the back as Toby. Doesn’t mean I want him sent back to Crewe!  Finally saying Parky struggles with accepting things said on the forum doesn’t mean he isn’t the best manager we’ve had for ages and is doing a great job!

You can be positive and criticise;. As they say, good is the enemy of great.


Is saying how you are embarrassed to be an Alty fan positive criticism?

Parkinson criticised players in a public interview. I'm entitled to be embarrassed by a lack of effort.its the minimum fans should expect.
