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

I think your right.  Clearly not a good mix.

[RedM]

I think the players are very lucky there are no fans at the ground. We have gone though bad times but this is amongst the worse teams in a while. It would test the most rose tinted fans

Pearson is associated with us whether he likes it or not. Perhaps he'll want to stay to prove that he can get it right. Otherwise, he leaves here having failed here, failed at Derby and been sacked by Watford in between. 

Again, make sure you direct this mainly at Ashton and Lansdown.

Its their mess, which yes, Pearson couldn’t save.

If it wasn’t for those fluke win results, we would be down.

Er....that's what the sags said, and everybody took the piss !

Surely Pearson won’t want to be associated with us. What a shambles. Gutless and spineless the lot of them with very few exceptions. Schoolboy error by Palmer, beaten by a team who wanted it more.

Some might say that its us that doesn't want to be associated with Pearson and with performances under him being so shite, I would have to agree.

He inherited a weak and soft squad, but there's been no improvement.

He was my choice after LJ was sacked and there are extenuating circumstances, but it really isn't what was expected. I don't think SL will be minded to offer a contract to him and may even cut it short - why not ? who could do worse ? Simpson and downing ? I think not.

I’m sorry, but this whole project has been failing since January 2018.

How is Steve Lansdown not complicit?

So where would we be without his money? Don't see a queue waiting to give away 10 million every year to cover losses.

Or perhaps we could get a nice fake sheik instead and have a lovely ground and stunning squad like the gas

Jury still out on NP for me. Can't keep blaming players. Wouldn't mind Robins tbh. 

Understand being undecided on NP. But to follow it up with wanting robins when we need a real leader is a terrible shout imo . Forget results , look at how we’re losing . We are ******* leaderless from Lansdown to the players . We massively need a Pearson type manager. I said today I though we’d lose 2-1 and get bullied but not just last 30 minutes . I ******* hate these players

Thanks Nige.

Should’ve checked out when Jon and Steve did.

I'm not directing it at anyone. I'm just pointing out how it looks externally if Pearson leaves at the end of the season with his record as it stands.

Failed in Belgium too

Don’t disagree.

As I said at the weekend it’s sad if he isn’t the answer.

But this is a mess of Ashton and Lansdown’s making. Never forget that. It’s been failing for years.

Theyve created this shite on the pitch and now Steve had to solve it.

 

Agree. 

Even a few months ago SL was lauding the quality in the squad. 

I was confused which squad he was talking about.

Delete the whole club imo, what a joke!! 

Flipping heck I thought it was us who had reason to say that at least you got money to rebuild in the summer 

[Kibs]

What an absolute mess of a club. Ashton has jumped ship at just the right time. How convenient.

If we were playing the youngsters or seniors that will be here next season that would be fair enough, but we are not. Fammy, Lansbury, Rowe all dead wood.

You say that but it wouldn't surprise me if NP wanted to keep both Lansbury and Rowe. This is what really worries me most.

They deserve to be screamed at and feel small ******* millionaires skulking off after no ***** given.

What on earth are you talking about?

Of course he and Ashton have overseen this. They’re in ******* charge.

This is Steve Lansdown’s mess.

You are absolutely spot on. He has allowed the quality in our squad to be cleared out each season and allowed Johnson/Holden to replace it these wasters. I hope he is big enough to admit this and appoint Pearson  with the financial support and a remit to do what is needed to sort us out. Or surely relegation  will follow next season. Get off the pot Lansdown and get Pearson appointed.

He still owes 20p an interview. 

I'd like to phone in. 

[Always red]

Now agreeing with other posters. Is NP the man? Mmm. Cannot think of any other possible candidates but he's not covering himself in glory. He can't get them to play for him now it appears. I appreciate there is dead wood in the squad but I'll not be renewing until I see the path forward. Think I'll see what the European Super league is like. Oh, wait a minute...

I have responded

I see, but if we are to not give Pearson a deal & at least let him try and build his own squad with a transfer window, who would you like to see appointed? We are working with an extremely short time frame with many player out or contract

[pongo88]

NP ain't getting this job. 

I’d stick with him as he’s had time to assess the players and realise where the dead wood is. He know what needs to be done in the summer 

12 minutes ago, 054123 said:

Could you be a little bit more specific?

[woodsy62]

We are just a rich Bristol rovers we are truly pathetic and Pearson I’m not convinced he’s   the answer we’ve chucked money to create crap like that

[DirtySanchez]

Bye Nige.

Yep I tend to agree with you- yeah he has inherited a squad of misfits who were completely shot of confidence but you would of at least hoped to see some fight, and an insight into the type of football that Pearson wants to play by now.

Nothing has changed and that’s concerning.

Robins is not a bad shout at all.

[grifty]

Says it all that their goalkeeper is more of a threat at creating a goal than our £5m striker!

Yep, a blot on his copy book.

To play devils advocate, if you were another club and you appointed Pearson in the summer, how much of a lass would you give him because ‘Bristol City are ******* state’?

Akinfenwa’s first goal of the season and first ever in the championship. 
 

**** me.

Think that is “quote of the night” sums up where we are at the moment

[Gazred]

I don't think there was a lot wrong with the formation, selection or game plan tonight. The execution however was lacking a fair bit in the first 50-60 mins then practically non-existant for the last 30.

Should never of lost that game. Pathetic from Palmer, really was.

I wouldn’t blame NP if he decides to not coach this bunch of amateurs next season, never mind sack the manage, in this case it should be sack the players, enough is enough
