Parkes started off ok for us and for what its worth I didn't think he was all that bad for us, but by the end of the season and amongst all our troubles his form like virtually every other senior player who we still had, who actually bothered to still try and play for us by the end was at rock bottom.I look at the second half of last season, the fact we've lost Jabo over the summer, and then our signings this summer and I can honestly only see a relegation scrap for this team. Yes we have some quality in the likes of Adams, Kennedy, Jones etc, but the 2 business ends of the pitch look weak as fuck.
If we were to sign a quality striker I'd maybe change that prediction, but at this stage of the summer I can only see us signing shite that no one else wants.
He worked better when the experienced Nicky Hunt played alongside him at CB for us, when he had a youngster next to him he struggled a bit.
Strong in the air and makes some good interceptions and tackles. He is also quite brave.
But he is prone to the odd brain fart like all CBs at this level with his decision making, can be prone to losing possession needlesly, he is also not the quickest in terms of pace.
