There is no third win for Scott Parker. However, a heavy 3-0 defeat against Ostend twelve out of thirty. It’s not the numbers that make Bruges happy. The English language coach also understands this. “I didn’t get it,” Parker said after the game.

On a visit to KV Oostende, the unrecognizable club Brugge was dealt a huge blow. The Kustboys sent the Blue and Black home empty-handed, but the handed game in particular gave head coach Scott Parker a headache.
“It went wrong on so many levels today,” Scott Parker says. “In the first half there was nothing we had to bring here. There was a lack of strength and we lacked courage on the ball. That’s pretty much all there is to say about the first half. I don’t understand. We played a good game against Gent, but that didn’t It wasn’t clear in the first half. We got into the game a bit more in the second half. Now we have to think hard about how we can put in a performance like this after the good performance against Ghent.”

Twelve out of thirty
Parker can only win twice in blue and black. Not the numbers for which he was brought to Bruges. Parker also knows that “twelve out of thirty aren’t enough.” “Expectations are higher. Here I am after a surprising 3-0 defeat. I can’t live up to those expectations just yet. This is frustrating. However, there are certain parts of our game that are good, but there are also many that are not. This has been a problem all season.”
“I still think I can turn the tide. That’s the challenge. A battle ahead of me. These are moments where we have to stand up as a team. On a professional level, this is a tough team challenge. It’s times like these that you have to show character. Now we have to work as hard as we can to change “This situation. It will show how good we are. Are you still the coach of Club Brugge in Lisbon? I don’t know, at the moment I’m trying to prepare the team as best as possible for that match.”
