It would be quite interesting to see Brian Tinnions managerial stats here - which were generally regarded as a disaster - compared to Nigel Pearsons.

Of course, they both managed us in different divisions, but then our squad would have been equivalently different.

I don't know how they'd actually stack up as Tinnions stats don't seem to be easily found - but I know for a fact that Pearsons were underwhelming.

EDIT - also, on topic, has he not just tweeted a couple of factual references to the season just gone..?

Academy players coming through - true.

Finished higher than we have for several years - true.

Progress..? Questionable I suppose - but factually correct. Of course he's going to look at the positive slant in his assements. 

Next season, with a summer window & pre-season under his belt, is the only fair way to judge LM.

Personally I think he has done OK generally. Certainly alot of work to do & improvements to be made - but there were also some encouraging signs aswell.

Next season will be interesting.!

Strange use of the word interesting there..twice.

We we’re crap but plenty of credit in bank after recent run.

Not at all. We were in debt before the excellent run. 

Judge this game on its own. Awful.

“What a season”

Couldn’t put it better myself, Downsy

You don't think the players take any responsibility for playing rubbish?

Definitely not all down to the manager. But if you take some credit for a 5-0 win then you have to accept some responsibility at 0-4. 

Ultimately, the buck stops with the manager. That’s how it’s always been. 

Definitely in need of some new and improved firepower next season.

Prob all off to Dubai or Las Vegas next week 

Yeah and good luck to them but we shouldn’t be struggling to get them up for this game first. 

Don’t care if it’s the last game of the season. Unacceptable performance 

3-0 down and now these jokers on Robins TV. Get me on the beach. 

Even worse one to concede 

Some strike but another poor one to concede

Wonder who accompanied Mason Greenwood..

If he fronted up when we’re Ona losing run rather than only ever on a winning streak, I’d agree with you.

Whoever the interviewer surely the main question has to be, given that JL said we had a top 6 squad, does he agree switching managers was a failure?

I don’t think we need to hear from the chairman, whatever run of form we’re in.

Makes sense to hear a season-end review though. Our nice run of good form will make it much easier for him though 

It’s the most overrated stat in football.

We coped without it. Not interested if it’s used by betting companies or coaches either. It appears its biggest use is by football fans on innumerable football podcasts and forums. 

It’s no more an important stat than shots on target.

I was wondering what yesterday would've been like for him.  Achieved promotion and then out celebrating with your team mates when you know you won't be playing alongside them next year.  Must've been a bit odd.  

I guess it proves the value in the deal Derby struck.  Would they have got promoted had he not stayed there until the end of the season?

Also, we may not have got him had we waited until the end of the season.

Don’t think he’s staying. His wife posted this yesterday on her instagram 

Such is the impact King had, those shirts could belong to Scott and Conway. 

One of Nigel’s most important signings.

What a guy- we're so lucky to have him. His input has shown remarkable results from Academy levels whilst  his role as technical Director is beginning to reap rewards on the pitch , firstly with Southampton then at Leicester. I'm really excited about next season, we've already got a Bird in the hand as well as a few in the bush and that's before our Summer recruitment.

WE are building the momentum for a serious push towards a top 6 finish in 2025 as he suggested. It's a great time to be a BCFC supporter.

( Facepalm me if you agree)

 

 

So tedious

I would suggest the very definition of tinpot is rush releasing a commemorative mug to celebrate winning a league match in August 2-1

 

Just a reminder that they did this back in August

Didn't someone post a while back that we had the second ' easiest' run in?

Still...you've still got to beat what's in front of you I guess. 

We failed miserably on the last ‘easy’ run of fixtures we had. Some progress then so credit to Liam and his team.

Facepalm

Right. 

I’m glad we agree

I can’t right a players higher than another? Okay. Sorry.

Ps, easy with the emojis, you’re gunna run out of them. Supporting the forum only cost a fiver. Maybe it’s time? 

Anyone who can’t see that they’re different players clearly doesn’t understand football

Quality isn’t he. I said a few months ago that I actually rated him more than Pring. Of course, it was followed by about 15 facepalms .  Love it. 
 

Can’t wait for next season! CANT WAIT. 
 

We need Twine.

 

 

Possibly because you were directly comparing the two when there is no need.
