Very harsh on Scott Parker. I always liked the guy.

Who knows what convos Scott Parker had when he took the job on, from reading some online posts it sounds like he was told they wouldn't be able to financially compete and would follow the Norwich model of sustainability , yo-yoing between the top 2 divisions. Doesn't sound like he liked the idea of that after the Liverpool game in his comments

Yea very harsh on Parker. What do they want against that fixture list?

Pickford is still my number one for England. He just does great when he plays. I can't say Henderson yet because he's only played a few games hasn't he? He's obviously good but over an established keeper like Pickford, I don't think so.

Poor Scott Parker.... fixture list was against him.. little help in the transfer window... they must have their eye on someone else already..

Could work out OK for him though... we all know they're looking for a new James Bond, and Scott's got the wardrobe and haircut already.

Nick Pope has to be a contender on current form? Been brilliant so far this season. Really dominant.

Pickford has never done anything wrong for England, and kept us in a number of games.  I still think he will be number 1

Best England keeper since Gordon Banks.

Definite contender but I think that unlike Maguire, Pickford isn't absolutely useless got his club. He's just at a club who are struggling. For England he just commands the back line amazingly and saves penalties, rarely makes a mistake. I think he deserves loyalty.

Ooooooh. Hmm. I'd say Seaman has to be up there too.

Yeah, Seaman and also Shilton above Pickford for me.

Was a joke, thought Shilts was great myself.

Also nearly put Geoff Banks which would have just confused matters further.

Never saw Banks play, so Shilts would be my #1.

Amazing that he had to "share" appearances with Clemence, and he still won 125 England caps.  Brilliant goalie.  I'd not put any of the current options in the same class.

Terrible manager. Mostly angry he wasn’t still in charge until Saturday at least. He bought about 16 players in January to buy promotion. Should have bought better quality to prepare themselves for the step up in quality.

edit: however, I do think it’s a harsh decision. But just proves what a tinpot club Bournemouth is.

You are an enigma!

Quite a few bournemouth fans on the radio being pretty disrespectful to a manager who like him or not got them promoted out of a tough division. Make me hope they get relegated!

Sounds about right from my experience.
