Re: Phil Parkinson
The problem is that the year Mansfield went up they were not up against the quality of opposition that exists now in the likes of Chesterfield, Stockport, Notts County or Grimsby.
The National league has, and is, changing so much, and I'm not sure Parkinson and some of those around him were quite prepared for the level of opposition we face week in and week out - especially with the profile we now have. We seem to be everyone's cup final.
Let's hope they all learn quickly and in January we can put the last pieces together for a solid play off push.
