Hull & Barnsley being god awful & Derby’s points deduction will be our saviour either way this season

Derby will finish above us...just wait and see

[WECANDO]

And where is Pearson. Sat on his ass all game in the crowd. How does that help the team. Not good enough.

Lansdown is going to get an almighty smack in the chops at next season ticket renewal and he’s had it coming tbh.

Some think he walks on water. I'm sure he could shit in a bowl and some of our fans would lap it up

Pearson isn't blameless.

He’s inherited a carbon copy of what O’driscoll took on in 2013. A terrible unbalanced squad that was put together by mark ashton. He’s had to trim the squad & the wage bill. The clubs a ******* mess.

I think the latest home run will be the final straw for many. There are large numbers of ST holders not even turning up.

I've not been once this season with my ST. Other reasons conspire, but nothing on the pitch is trying to change my mind.

We are looking like a bottom three team gutless soft and just going through the motions i dread to think of the implcations of a return to div one i honestley cant beleive what iam watching

I can't help but agree, bloody awful.

[And Its Smith]

If Pearson spat on some fans I swear they’d blame Ashton.  It’s not Ashtons fault our defending is atrocious 

[Wanderingred]

This football club is out of it’s depth at this level. This is our seventh championship season and we’ve been utter crap for all but one and a half seasons.

Thinks he's a rugby coach since he met Pat Lam. 

[WolfOfWestStreet]

That's enough Bristol City for me this year.

Agree. A shiny new ground & he’s the messiah. He’s ******* useless when it comes to football decisions

You’re a clown mate. It’s his fault we’ve been signing shit players for three years is it ? 

No it's not but nige has been there and done it so not being able to just set up a difficult team to  beat tonight is his job and he seems unable to get any sort of system at all and I am a pearson fan.

 

 

 

[Clevedon Red]

We’ve only gone and had a shot on target. 

[Southport Red]

SHOT ON TARGET!!!!!!

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

A shot on target from Pring!!!!!!!!

**** me are you that daft. What has he got to pick from? Look at vyner tonight . League one at best. Bakinson has had a ok game for him but he’s not good enough. O’dowda , league one player. Pearson said in the summer , we had to reduce the wage bill , hence  12 players being released. Wake up & smell the coffee , this is at lansdowns door . 

He signed james king simpson atkinson tanner and re-signed baker and weimann. Thats 7. We all know the likes of cod and palmer are a waste of space, but at what point do you think pearson is responsible for the total lack of motivation in our displays? If he takes us down is he not responsible in any way?

[Jerseybean]

To lose heavily against very average opponents is another stark reminder of the challenge we face.

In a nutshell - another poor performance, one shot on target in the 92 minute, unable to string passes together or retain the ball, some players starting to look disheartened / frustrated, others looking simply not good enough.

Genuine question probably for @davefevs how much did our wage bill drop due to getting shot of so many players?

 

 

[Andrew_V1]

A shot !!!! What a novelty that was 

[woodsyred]

Birmingham 5 goals at home all season then we come along good old Bristol City so soft it's unbelievable and finally a shot on target think we need Mike Bassett as manager couldn't be any worse than Pearson

It’s ashtons fault the players ain’t good enough . 

[keflav]

I have backed Pearson so far, but this could be a turning point for me it's just not working. We have no creativity, no goal threat and defend like rank amateurs.

Bakinson & vyner should no where near the first team there an absolute liability, no idea what Pearson see it them....

[Ivorguy]

Sad to say but we are short of decent Championship players.  Some are at this level, but too few, some are making it to this level, some are falling off from this level, and some have never reach or will reach it.

Feel sorry for Nige.  All he can do is try and keep us up until he can sign new recruits

If Birmingham didn’t pick a goalkeeper tonight, they would have won 3-1

How as a professional footballer can you not have a shot on target.

Just had one in the 92nd minute :laugh:

[Waffleflap]

I honestly think we're gonna go down. This team is absolutely awful.

It’s because they overate his ability as a manager so assume it can’t possibly be his fault. He’s been a busted flush for a good number of years…

I'm sick and tired of this explanation now. I honestly believe that there are coaches who could organise this squad to at least look competent. That is not much to ask. This is going nowhere.

The defence is better than it is currently showing. I am sure we can agree on that!
