downendcity Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I just wonder whether missing Pearson’s influence in the dressing room before the game and , in particular, at half time affected last night’s performance. This is not a criticism of the job Fleming did, and he was forced into subs by injuries, which no doubt affected our options, but it does feel that Pearson has a big effect on the players and his nor being there in person could make a difference. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is an obvious thing, he's a massive presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTeamInBristol Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Not sure it would have much effect during the game itself as he prefers to sit up in the stand anyway rather than on the touchline barking out orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he was on the touchline in the second half against Fulham to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never see us making a keeper work like Bentley is worked in the majority of our games this season. This was one of the things I was looking out for last night Its one thing being busy against the likes of QPR and Fulham, but if it were the same against Millwall I would have been concerned that we're not improving defensively. As it happens, he had 3 shots to contend with and made two saves out of Millwalls total of 11 attempts (which is about their average this season). More concerning was we had just one shot on target and that needs correcting asap. And again lost when we had the most possession. Work in progress.

Jerseybean Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Based on this interview I’m sure CF has a clear grip on things, https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/we-didn-t-create-enough-fleming/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having worked in schools with kids who have no respect for authority, this attitude has progressed far beyond and to see "grown adults" challenging the ref with "what have I done?" expressions beggars belief. Jordan, Hunter and Gow knew exactly what they'd done and certainly didn't waste time appealing. I found it worrying last night how many times the ref seemed, belatedly, to react to the players appeals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I posted pretty much the same last night. It’ll be interesting to see if it’s another poor performance at Posh on Saturday. Nige is an influential guy a great motivator and well respected by the squad. I imagine that Fleming isn’t held in quite same esteem.

Obviously Nige is an experienced manager & certainly makes everyone aware who is boss, but his interviews so far have been decent. He has coached at a few clubs & is no fool, his observations about last night were definitely spot on. We are bound to miss Pearson but CF looks a smart arrival to me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
