Fammyfan Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Pearson literally was on the verge of saving a doomed looking Watford team last season, turning them around from 7 points adrift to being stupidly sacked 2 matches before the end of the season and 3 points clear of safety. He should be managing in the premier league. Absolutely over the moon with this appointment and we are incredibly lucky to have him, I really hope the club provides full support as Pearson is the caliber of manager to get us to the next level.

More likely that we see more of Wells now and his potential. Nige likes a 4-2-3-1 and will no doubt be looking to get the best out of Nahki. Also, Wells will probably respond to a manager that he professionally respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird1 Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I am not a negative bloke really, but when everyone was losing their shit over Copple, I called him out as he was not up for it, I got pasted for it...he walked. So it is with great relief that we have a manager of such ability here, I am excited, but feet firmly on the ground, he has a hard job, we will need not to turn on him so readily if results are not forthcoming. He really could be a bit special and take this club to the Prem, probably not this season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought, given he's more than likely off in a few weeks, we will see less of Fam up front and more of Nahki in his proper position. That left side still has a gaping gap that we can't currently fill though, hence my question as to when some of them damn lefties might be back.

One Team Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 So, record breaking winning run from Saturday then, culminating in the Play Off final at the end of May, which given Boris’s announcement earlier some of us could get to?!

Could be the final piece in the puzzle, save us this season, with the players out on contract he will have scope to build his own team quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyez Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 “Nigel Pearson is officially the new @BristolCity Manager. He won’t speak to the media until Wednesday, club says he wants the focus to remain on tomorrow night’s trip to Middlesbrough. #BCFC #BristolCity” Absolutely love that.

Would not imagine Pearson tolerating Fam not signing a contract then playing him every minute. Left-back is an awful situation. Not heard much about Pring or Nurse recently, so assume they are still way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that Fam should be nowhere near the team until he signs a deal. Was so obvious he was playing for a move away in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we reckon Lee Johnson ever picked a fight with a pack of Wolves as one of his exercises in understanding how people make decisions in high pressure situations? Yep - part of his SAS and Jedi knight training, was supposed to be filmed by his Drones but the video failed ... apparently took out a pack of Wolves and a Bear.

Most of them could probably do better than we've been seeing recently. If they can't (or won't) I'm sure NP will know in a few weeks. With contracts running out over the summer, the squad could potentially look very different next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lansdown clearly had enough of the procrastination and after seeing the latest shambles against Reading, poured himself a large Brandy, told Maggie to fetch his filofax, and took it by the scruff of the neck making some calls and deciding if you need a job done, do it yourself. I for one have found it brilliant watching him firing up his engines in the last week and righting some of the wrongs. Not sure it has finished yet either. I think there will be a day of reckoning for Mark Ashton over the Holden fiasco, but SL will delay that and hope it looks after itself (Ipswich etc).

This time, ambitious talk has actually been backed up by ambitious action and really hope this will be the start of this club genuinely moving on to better things.
