With Burnley sitting outside of the promotion places and struggling to create any goals, fans are questioning whether his appointment is the right one. Has he just been handed a bad squad, or is his coaching style prohibitive?
Fan led discussion.

Parker, really nice bloke but the football is awful. Don't be fooled by us having a decent defensive record, the standard in this league is distinctly average at best. He lost loads of players of course but we still spent tens of millions on the rebuild which is likely more than half the division added together – nobody can tell me he's getting the best out of what he has at his disposal imho. He's turned Cullen from one of the best in the Championship to someone who looks lost. Sad state of affairs, Parker won't get us promoted.
They'll pot him once attendances drop which they will, I know quite a few who aren't going to more games because it's so bad. The board wanted to build the brand – this is the opposite of that. It's board not bored.
Esteve told us the aim in his interviews – win the league. We won't finish top 6 with Parker but hell no to Robins. I really don't take any pleasure in being Parker out (80%, I still want him to succeed) but we are pretty much a quarter of the way into the season and we've seen nothing other than what the Fulham and Bournemouth fans warned us about. Watch us go to Bristol and win 3-0 now !
It is only 3 months into the season, 3 months ago that we lost our core players, and our manager. SP came into the club and saw his team ripped apart, and he has had to put out a team that everyone expects to perform, including the board and when that team dont perform everyone is jumping on his back. So what part of " this is fucking stupid" are none of you getting??. I back SP and to even think he will be sacked only 3 months into the season is utter stupidity. January market is coming up and i am sure we will sign players to help us get back up. And adding to that, is it bad that we dont go up straight away??. I think a season in the championship would be good for us. I think the bar that fans have set since kompany got us a miracle promotion is way too high. I think people should lower their expectations and just enjoy the ride.
Difficult position to be in. We are OK but will not get promoted with the way we are currently performing….and that is down to Parker not the players. Parker needs to change things and hopefully we will see more players coming back from injury.
Teams play against burnley to get a point, and maybe nick a win. We are the team everyone wants to beat and our players we have cant undo their defence. January will see us sign new players to unpick defences. I would love tella back in a clarets shirt. Sorry but Tomclaret was wrong to say the players we have should be doing better. We have a ton of players out injured.
No thoughs
Any thoughts on the injury list folks?
On the “but he had a good striker at Fulham and Bournemouth” point.
At Fulham, he had Mitrovic top-scoring with 26 goals out of a total of 64 which was 7th highest scoring team in the division.
At Bournemouth, Solanke scored 28 out of 74 (second, 32 behind Fulham!)
For comparison, the Dyche teams got promoted with 72 goals scored but less reliance on one striker (Gray 23, Ings 22).
This proves something but I don’t know what. Probably that those two sides overly relied on an international level striker to go up rather than an attacking plan.
Stop moaning !!!!!
