Mr Parkin said on the competition: “If you can get on a run of wins it’s momentum going forwards. It finishes at the promised land.”
John Parkin also spoke on on Lee Johnson taking over at Sunderland: “It’s such a massive football club if he goes in there and does well he’ll be an absolute hero.
“For one reason or another it hasn’t happened for manager’s who’ve gone in there.
“He needs to dismantle the football club but will he get the opportunity – time will tell.
“No disrespect but the lower you go – people are watching the Premiership and the Championship every week so he may not know all the players who’re in the squad.
“He’ll assess his squad and win games.”
