Loosey Boy Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Win or out? Absolutely not…..regardless of our form or position in the league, I am still as confident in NP as I was when he was appointed……the phrase “Rome wasn’t built in a day” is exactly where we are - let’s get behind the boys on Saturday as of our lives depended on it!

Oh Louie louie Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Im as frustrated as you hants. Most managers only get the job, because of the mess left by the previous incumbent. Maybe we will find some funds for a striker when we are in the bottom 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 All through my time following city, if we finish in the bottom 6 n this leauge. The next season, we go down. We dont get better. With no investment this will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Yes those 2. Id accept 4 points now. I agree, if we get nothing from those games, this forum will be intresting reading, if nothing else! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can reasonably have higher expectations of NP than that. If that is his personal target then we really are in trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we are currently 7 points above the bittom 3 and 5 points off of the play off spots. Of the recent games, losing to two Premiership teams is not a disgrace, and it was a shame that 2 crazy minutes after 90 minutes were up cost us that much needed home win. As far as sacking the manager is concerned, that is just ridiculous. The man was tasked with a long term project and you want him gone because we are mid table in the Championship less than a year in, when did that timescale become "long-term"? I remember the days when people on here were crying out to be a mid table Championship side. But, get rid and start again, and again, and again. I mean doing that is working for.....???? Nope, I can't think of anyone either. Edited October 29, 2021 by Port Said Red 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engvall’s Splinter Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Whilst Hampshire Red/Reds does post too often absolute tosh, I have started to fight an internal battle with Pearson and his status. I want him to succeed and on one hand understand the need for time, the mess that has been created by many of the senior leadership team, the journey we are likely to be on etc. He’s proven pedigree, most likely the most experienced person we could attract. But there are tiny doubts in there which on a gamely basis i am trying to resist. I hope we stick with Pearson, but I also want more on the pitch (although I dont think are squad is either suitably balanced or good enough - appreciate he needs transfer Windows). Supporting Bristol City has never confused me further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 In all seriousness, do I want him out if we fail to win? Absolutely not, that’s ridiculous. Even if were to get a new man in, yeah we might get the new manager bounce and win the first 3 games… BUT, that would be papering the cracks. This ‘project’ is a long one, like it or not. I can’t think of a better man than Nigel Pearson to build it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red panda Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Ridiculous post, but par for the course. Very fine margins at play here. We've conceded injury time equalisers against Blackpool and Luton, and injury time equaliser and defeat against Forest. Had we seen these games out we would now be 5th in the table.

You’re probably referring to 8 league defeats. There were two cup defeats in that run iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 No to the OP. Pearson isn’t stupid, he knows he needs a home win soon but as has been pointed out many times before, you get the same points for an away win & prior to facing Bournemouth & WBA our record was W4 D4 L4, which exceeded my expectations. I said we’d finish 16th & if he achieves that he’ll have done ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in some ways it's probably just as well it gas panned out that way, imagine the expectation level on here if we were doing that well. The only real problem as has been said many times is this weird reversal of home and away form, I honestly can't remember a period like this past 3 or 4 seasons and of course means that the majority of fans have witnessed the worst results.

Or have i missed something Ok I personally don’t agree, but I can understand why some fans have this view. If you look at his record alone you could argue it’s not very good, and in a business based industry that’s what a manager is based on. But we all know there’s a bigger picture all round to look at, and Pearson has come in as a long term project to steady the ship, and gradually improve the playing/non playing staff whilst adhering to strict FFP rules post covid Edited October 29, 2021 by brad blit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've read Rich's and DaveFevs posts on Page 1 and let that sink in then you might understand why some fans might see it as an achievement to scrape safety this season (especially after last year). Doesn't mean people are happy with it, but they may see that as an 'achievement' to secure Championship status for another year given our predicament.

bcfcredandwhite Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) I’ve said before on another thread that I’m disappointed with the situation. I expected better from a Nigel Pearson side. Having said that, I think it would be stupid to sack him - unless we drop into the relegation zone. NP should be able to steady us. We’ll see. A loss to Barnsley would be disappointing (understatement) and some serious questions will be asked, but too soon for a sacking imho.

LJ’s longest run of league defeats was actually 8, but as there were 2 cup games in the middle of it, one of which was drawn & we won the other, so the most he actually lost consecutively was 6. GJ did lose 9 on the spin very early on but that included 2 cup ties, one for what became the JPT, the other was in the FA Cup, so 7 league games. The run GJ went on after that run though was truly incredible, just 4 defeats in 25 & promotion of course the following season & the play off final in the season after that. Two points therefore, GJ proved why you should stick with a manager with a track record & some people never let the facts get in the way of posting.. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
