3 defeats in a row. Not even Arsenal collapse in this way. We go into the playoffs in a terrible form.

4 winless game in a row. The amount of missed chances were really comical yesterday. Not even United create that much during a game :lol:

YES! We beat Reggiana in the Derby dell'Enza and we finished second so we start the playoffs from the second round. What a game it was! A true battle under a very heavy rain, with so many missed chances and a red card :D

@Dave_MUFC, the first playoffs leg against Piacenza (another derby) finished 0-0. We were completely toothless once again. We have just scored 1 goals in our last 6 games, despite having the best attack in the third tier.

Damn, I had a crazy weekend and completely lost track that the first leg was played, thought it was this weekend! But doesn't seem that I missed too much from the scoreline. With the form we ended the season with, I really am not convinced we can make it all the way. :(

What is worrying is that this team don't look eager to win the playoffs. They lack hunger.

We are a through thanks to a professional performance. Not a spectacular one, but still good enough to allow us to reach next round :)

Phew! :lol: Only 2-1 to us, but it should have been 5-1 at least. Lucchese created jack shit during the game, just defending and hoofing the ball like they didn't know what to do

Last-4 here we come! Shit game compared with the first leg, but we were always in control.

Unlucky Pordenone, but we probably couldn't afford to be promoted even if they won the final. Good Luck to Parma

Parma is a Seria A team if there is a such thing.. Would love to have them back.

Who is coaching Parma? More important, what type of players, young or veterans?
Roberto d'Aversa, former Antonio Conte player at Siena. He is a good coach, but sometimes too defensive.
We have quite an aged team. Our captain Alessandro Lucarelli is with us since 2008 and deciced to stay after we went bankrupt in 2015.

Good luck, still remember the Parma sides coached by Scala, with Zola, Brolin, Asprilla, sponsored by Parmalat who then also sponsored Benfica, Palmeiras and Boca.

The small clubs are likely to be overly motivated when it comes to play against an institution like Parma, so it makes sense to rely mainly on experienced players.

Also, in lower divisions, the lower technical level is generally offset by a higher physical commitment.

Of course, I have never watched a 'Serie C' game!

Cheers mate! The good old days will never return, but hopefully we can come back to Serie A sooner or later.

Exactly. For example, yesterday's game was very tough physically, as Pordenone kicked a lot (they would have deserved a red as well).

Final countdown!
Image against Reggiana! It would be hell!

Ghirardi and his Friend Leonardi are they still at large? What a shame.
Parma deserve to stay in lega pro after the Ancona game scandal this year.
