Sorry but anyone who defends Wharton , needs their head examining.
He’s really slacked and he loses possession so much.
He gets a free pass to much and also dunno why he is stand in captain.

We changed tactics. Wing backs visibly pushed higher up this half. Same tactics that have been a disaster all season long. Sage clearly changed it at halftime. He has to go

Ane once again total freedom at back post from set pieces That’s basic defending Hendo must be a great defensive organiser or so I hope when he returns

Agree, he's not as good as some make out and he is certainly not captain material. Another of Sage's blunders.

One word: ‘depressed’
Looking at Parish as I type….face like thunder!

against a bunch of amateur teams.
our FA cup winning squad got decimated. Strong players like Mitchell cannot carry so many donkeys.
well i think we are agree now the Sage is finished, its the system not the players, lets see, hopefully, what an experienced manager can do with the same players.

Wholeheartedly agree.
He gets the pass from commentators too. It's very odd.

Next time Parish appoints a manager, can someone get hold of a few 1990s copies of Shoot and Match magazine and dig out the old You’re the Manager sections?
They used to contain wonderfully obvious tactical questions. Things like: “Liverpool love attacking the Kop in the second half. You’ve won the toss. What do you do?”
I’d love to see what answers Sage would come up with.
Because I’d have paid good money to hear his half-time team talk today.
“Right, lads. We’ve kept it relatively tight. It’s been a bit of a s*** game, but we’re still in it. So here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to push everyone forward, leave enormous gaps at the back and hope nobody notices.”
It’s straight out of Blackadder Goes Forth. Field Marshal Haig moving his toy soldiers another six inches across the map, convinced that this time the Germans won’t see it coming.
And that’s the problem. Decent sides at this level know exactly how to exploit it. The moment we push the wing-backs on, the opposition realise there’s an absolute motorway behind them and start running into it.
It’s not as though they’ve uncovered some revolutionary tactical secret. They can see our three centre-backs can’t cope with the space they’re being asked to defend.
Yet we keep doing it. Again and again.

At least next season we will have more 3 o clock kick offs and no VAR 😄

Don’t know why - he’s the one who tried to replace Guehi and Lacroix with 2 loans and a sick note free transfer..!!
Said it so many times - you can’t do that..!!

He's a mug. He knows his investment is going down the pan and it is his and the board's choices that have made it possible. Well, Sage is a goner now. That's the only power left to Parish.
