Numero Uno Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 In Daniel's opinion the players should be giving their all and fighting over every blade of grass whatever the situation of the season........ I completely agree with him and couldn't for one nano-second question his particular commitment to the cause, he clearly has the personal pride, self motivation and professionalism required to maximise his career as far as it can go and I for one wouldn't begrudge him any success he achieves and money he earns in the future, it's the fact this even has to be said that's galling.

Carey 6 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Always speaks well Bentley. Quite enjoy his interviews. Wouldn't be against giving him captaincy, but it depends if he want's to deal with the off the field side of things that captains often do.

Hampshire Red Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 And Pearson says he is a 'Solutions-based' manager. I am vaguely interested in what Bentley, other players, even a few fans have to say but i am really only interested to hear what the coach has to say; He will demand a solution to the worst run of football in recent years and i need to see signs of a solution from a decent bunch of players he inherited. Johnson and Holden got much better fending, more creative football and more pride out of this squad than we have seen from Pearosn. Give us a solution and there is no easier game in the Championship than Luton at home at 1.00 on Sunday Pearson says he was angry the other night and he better believe i will be extremely angry if he doesnt find a solution over these few days and that we see it on the pitch.

You mean the same Luton who a Dean Holden XI lost to earlier this season? Or maybe you're referring to an LJ XI that got dicked 3-0 by Luton last term? Luton are exactly the type of team we've struggled against under LJ, DH and now NP. We don't have a team; we have a handful who care (Bentley being one) and a bunch of self-serving individuals with no pride, desire or self-motivation to put in a collective performance. Looks like you'll be angry again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why hasn’t he sorted it out yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between winding down contracts, not wanting to pull through youth into games where others are being completely unprofessional (chucked in at the deep end), I don't see what Pearson can do. Being honest. Even players at the club for next season - Pearson may not be, so what power and investiture from the board does he actually have? Add in injuries, there's simply no easy solution for him, I don't think there's one at all until the summer, where he can then make - his own and desperately needed - appointments - if he's even here at that point. Theres no man-management or motivational solution to be had. If they were a decent bunch of players, we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.
