sMacLean Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 At least with Fulham gone that is one extra auto place freed up for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Didn't mind which team went up but always liked Scott Parker. Comes across as a decent bloke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putney Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Whilst it seemed like we never really got going this season, that we bounced back at first attempt when most don't is something I've got to give Parker a lot of credit for. Last night we did a proper job on Brentford, kept it tight and frustrated them. Sure it may have been dull for the neutral but allowing the game to stretch would only benefit their playing style. I can't remember their 'BMW' having much of an effect on Rodak, he didn't really have to make a save for most of the game. We've got a competent squad and have a few decent players returning on loan. Time to establish ourselves as a top flight team again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I’ve been impressed with our old boys, Onomah and Hector, I’ve been disappointed in Knockaert, who seems a shadow of the player I remember from his Brighton days. Constantly making the wrong decisions and giving the ball away, he wasn’t the player I recalled 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly making the wrong decisions and giving the ball away, he wasn’t the player I recalled Totally agree regarding Knockaert, don't know why we made the deal permanent really. Saying that his work-rate is second to none and for what he now lacks in finishing he makes up with his contribution off the ball. Knockaert has been around three good teams in Leicester, Brighton and Fulham that someone like Forest will end up buying him from us, thinking it'll help them go up. Onomah has been excellent, a really promising player. Some moves/clubs just don't work out for players but he seems to be doing well here under Parker. Has the mobility and strength to work in the Premier League. Hector was really good prior to lockdown, looked alright but shaky since. I think the top of the Championship is probably his level, dread to think what Premier League strikers could do against him but you never know.

NorfolkNChance Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I’d trust Parker to spend 100m more wisely than the previous manager did tbh. He was a very intelligent player on his day and knows the league and probably what’s needed. Time will tell on Hector but I tend to agree that he could be found out at times, and Onomah could be the one that shines more in the top flight. Best of luck anyway.

SiJ Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 It wouldn't be Parker who worries me; more the owner's son, Tony Khan. Think he fancies himself as a bit of an expert when it comes to recruitment. @Putney will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth or Watford would be my guess Especially being as Watford will lose at least one (Delefeou) and possibly 2 (Sarr) wide players Pereyra is almost certainly gone too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNChance Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Sarr looked half decent in the few glimpses I saw of him. Bit erratic at times and end product needs working on but a rough diamond that someone could work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hector has stacks of ability. Just think he has those occasional moments and lapses. In the Prem, he will get punished if he does those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
