Robbored Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Looks like another season of mid table obscurity largely down to managerial errors by Ashton and invisible Jon earlier this season and poor old Nige has inherited a squad lacking real quality and desperately low on confidence. I think he’s done well to get a tune out them albeit away from AG. Let hope he’s here next campaign and has at least something of a war chest to bring in the type of players he thinks we need in order to become a force in the Championship. Big Nige has a very decent CV and is a proper manager - the kind that should been appointed after LJ was sacked and for all we know he could well be planning for next season already.............. Away at Coventry on Monday and another three points........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players were coasting today. They will continue to do so unless they know whether he is here next season. And coasting will produce the results that make it unlikely.

Waffleflap Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Let's hope he's here next season. A few are already on his back . This team is poor and needs a reset from top to bottom . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 We'll be lucky to finish in a position that you could call 'mid-table' at this rate. The sad thing is that even 12th is looking out of reach now and it's more a case of how far down the bottom half of the table we slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away at Coventry on Monday and another three points........... Bored with it tbh. Pearson’s got a huge job to do if Lansdown is not dopey enough to lose him. Until that all plays out I can no longer actively support (I.e with cash) a group of shithouses that we have playing for us. I wouldn’t piss on most of them if they were on fire.

It’s unlikely that City will get dragged into a relegation battle and as long as that’s avoided then it’s doesn’t really matter where City finish - we can look back at this season and write it off......... A win at Coventry on Monday would pretty much guarantee Championship football next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wouldn’t blame him If he left- it has been a strange year for Nige with two games left of the premier league season he had Watford outside of the relegation zone before he was cruelly sacked... now he is managing Bristol City, his stock for me is still at a level above us.

Alan Dicks Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I’m thinking Nigel will need more than the whole of next season to sort this shower of out, and then only if he decides to stay, I personally wouldn’t blame him if he ran for the hills 2 minutes after the final whistle of the last game.

But hopefully, if we give him a bit of stability and a decent bit of cash to invest in quality, hungry players then I think he will stay. It needs to be more on his terms though I feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all those 4 performances weren't breath taking too. Lucky as well there is some true shite in the championship this season such as Wycombe and Sheffield Wednesday or we could easily be in a relegation scrap.

nickolas Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Pretty easy to sort really. The majority, if not all, of the ooc players should be shoved out the door. A lot of expensive deadwood will be gone and SL needs to back Nige with 6 or 7 quality additions in his mould of player. Will be a full rebuild but getting the majority of that overpaid crap out of the squad will make an instant and huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I'll be in the garden this weekend doing a bit of weeding. I'm sure NP is already on that job with the squad. Work to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better that then finishing in the bottom three.. Staying in the Championship is absolutely crucial. As I posted earlier - we can write this season off.
