If he can’t be successful here might as well pack it in - needs to buy his own decent players 

[Bodiesaffer]

Looking at this match a lot of these players are not good enough.

Unless we go on a spending spree this is mostly the players he will be working with, haven't seen much so far that has convinced me he brings the best out of them, personally I'm a bit underwhelmed.

Maybe he has got the best out of them and this is it 

[Ska Junkie]

Not scapegoating here but what does £5.3M Fam do that free transfer Ikpeazeu doesn't?

Wells off, he’s been anonymous yet again

I cannot wait until the day we bin off Wells.

Just look at his reaction when the team scores a goal!

I'm finding it impossible to warm to him and, in the list of proven goal-scorers we've had at this level, he's bottom of the pile by a long chalk.

Not far wrong. 

[redsince1994]

Again, fair but strong challenge from Lansbury and Wycombe get a FK.

Ref wanting a non-contact sport apparently

I think in normal circumstances yes but we are not a normal circumstance. We need stability and structure at the moment and he needs a transfer window at least. I see absolutely no point in bringing in a new man to take weeks and weeks to figure out how to fix us when we have one now.

Who has had weeks to fix us and hasn't done so.

I fear he has seen us as a well paid 6 month gig.

I agree I expected to see some sort of improvement somewhere on the pitch but no different to previous managers

That's not fair he had two shots. And they both proved that he's not very good at shooting...

(Actually the evidence has been ever since he joined)

[red panda]

Hopefully the last we see of Wells in a City shirt?

A depressing thought indeed, reckon you may well be right.

He doesn’t have to keep playing Wells and Fam for a start.

He will get it if he wants it. The issue we may have is he doesn't!

I'm not sure as I'm seeing that as an issue TBH.

A £5.3m Fam who is going offers little, a £5.3m Fam from a couple of years ago offered more.

You can’t continuously blame management mate,it just happens that these players are not good enough 

[Taz]

Fam and Wells may as well be off the pitch, they're both absolutely bloody useless, and considering that's about £10m of strikers on the pitch, it's absolutely embarrassing.

Actually, scrap that - it's shambolic.

But are you? It’s got the same level of attraction as the players sprinting between cones on the final warm up before kick off. If it becomes something largely ignored then it’s meaning is diluted to the point of irrelevance. Still a topic for another forum and another day.

Clearly attention is still drawn to the issue at hand because there are still people bitching about it! 

[ChubStixx]

One of the worst squads in the last 30 years. Dreadful.

Early kickoff and early sub might suit someone who needs to check his wall street investments?

AS has already offered more with his two attempts in two minutes

You honestly think Janneh and Sam Bell are good enough, especially when we weren’t mathematically safe? Of course he had to play them, we dont have **** all else good enough to get goals!

[Lanterne Rouge]

Nice move that, good block from Stockdale

[ralphindevon]

Great move from the youngsters there

So long as it’s not in Moderna, AstraZeneca or Pfizer.

99% of the time a manager will walk into a shit show left by a previous regime. Some love a challenge. Pearson can stay in this stable club, backed by a billionaire who supports his managers and gives them time, redeveloped stadium, new training ground, top academy. 

I think NP would still love this job.
