Some loans have worked - Parkinson
Keith Gillespie, Jay McEveley, Graeme Murty, Tom Soares, Darren Ward, Tresor Kandol and Danny Butterfield have all had temporary spells at The Valley since Parkinson took over in November, while Deon Burton and Matt Spring were loan signings before their transfers became permanent.[LNB]Many fans see the reliance on loanees as one of the main reasons the club lie on the brink of relegation, but Parkinson maintains he had little option.[LNB]"I can understand why some supporters might have a bee in their bonnet about the loans," he said. "Last year, Lee Cook, Scott Sinclair and, to a lesser extent, Leroy Lita weren't up to speed in terms of match fitness, but they played and other players were pushed out of the side. From that point, results took a serious downturn.[LNB]"But, in my defence, this year I haven't had any money to spend, so I either didn't change it or brought loan players in. I had to change it around, and the only avenue was to bring in loan players.[LNB]"Some loan players don't care, but if you get the right ones, like Graeme Murty and Darren Ward, no-one can level that accusation at those types of players. They've been excellent, and I don't think this group of loan players have caused a problem."[LNB][LNB]
