Feel like we’re going to have to score worldies in every game though. 

Wow

What’s “progressive” about this?

Steve Torpey was dreadful. He scored 13 goals in three seasons and Phil Jevons bagged 11 in two seasons……pretty crap for strikers. Jevons had the nickname ‘turbo’ as he was so slow………

Jevons was only here for one full season (2006/07), in which he scored 17 goals.

He was gone by November 2007. Did a job for us in League One. Definitely better than crap. 

He’s already doing it at Man City though..not Stoke City.

Yup pretty much every week. Some interviews were angry, grumpy, some had an air of FFS and exasperation. Very rarely happy. Pragmatic and some could say dour but that was his style 

He looked in an awful lot of pain towards the end though.  hopefully they find an answer for that because doing interviews like that cant have been fun.

 

Just say no

Didn’t Gary Johnson take ten games before getting a win ? 
That didn’t turn out too badly.

 I echo what many have said on here. Confidence in the people running the show is lower than a snake’s  scrotum and they have instigated an environment where only success on the pitch can save them. 
The coach needs to get the players onside pdq and he needs to show why he was the preferred choice over Pearson. 
He’s not going to do that in three days. I am , however, hoping for a City master stroke where in the summer we are the talk of football as our brilliant young coach propels us towards the Prem , then I réalise who we are and in the pit of my stomach I feel it won’t work out. 
 

Not quite. He won his first game in charge.

The point here, that many are missing, is that our owners have implied that the new manager won’t need time or new players as we have a squad already capable of challenging for promotion. They just didn’t believe our previous head coach was getting enough out of them.

It's different sure, I enjoyed it as I listened to what he said and found it insightful and honest 'we haven't worked on that, that didn't work in the way I wanted and so on'

Not sure what's 'baffling'

Did you ever listen to Mr Pearson?

I thought it was refreshing.confirming not done a lot with possession, was slightly irked didn't do everything that was asked but saw signs that was going to go well longer term.

Lots of people don't look at cameras etc Neurospicy being one reason, doesn't mean anything 

It’s like chalk and cheese.

How anyone could find this refreshing after Mr Pearson is baffling.

Terrible game. Almost as poor a performance as Pearson’s last few games in charge

You would expect a lot better wouldn’t you, even after 3 or 4 days…if Mr Pearson’s football was as bad as you suggest. 

Busy couple of weeks for Liam and his team. Can’t imagine that’s the sort of football he’s expecting us to play.

Didn’t see anything done better than what we’ve done previously. 

I just hope that those who were so desperate to see Mr Pearson go can simply enjoy the positive result if we get one.

Here’s to 3 points and a good start for our new head coach. Good luck Liam.

Ok, so other 3 selected, like others have posted, are better. Not where he was born. 

That I now understand

I’m not sure you do tbh 

In regard to whether City will look to bring in a striker to make up for Conway’s absence, or a midfielder to replace Scott, Pearson said: “It depends if the club make funds available. They will either tell me whether there is or there isn’t. I don’t need a meeting with people.”

Little more subtle than that IMO, if we take it on face value that they are clearly Bristol Sport.

To try to swing opinion and or perhaps even to try and swing opinion so that those who look in- media, fans of other clubs, football people- get a view that the decision was a bit less widely split than it was.

Judging by the support Nigel had on here, there needed to be a ‘Rovers home attendance’ amount of Bristol Sport representatives on here. At least.

Good luck to our new head coach

You used to be a good poster but gone well off the boil lately 

When was that?

Pearson gone singing was embarrassing. Then slagging off the man who pays the bills son because he didn’t accept mid table mediocrity. We don’t deserve better with attitudes like that. 
 

For the game. No red would have meant no points. Scraped by bottom of the league with one win after they played with 10 for an hour. Awful football again but fair play to Fleming making attacking changes that I am sure his predecessor would not have made. Well done Curtis Flemings cider army

A Mr Pearson inspired trio of substitutions gives Mr Fleming the win. 3 points.

Exactly, it’s the same football as Pearson! I’ve no idea why people have this idea that we were playing tika taka football under him, it’s bizarre.

Who said we were playing “tika taka”?

Mr Fleming carrying on the good work of Mr Pearson.

Good luck Curtis and the players. Do it for us and Nigel. 

Just another puppet in a suit. 
 

His corners have been fantastic. Why couldn’t he do that for us

Should start earning me a few points for my fantasy premier league team now.

I’d quite like Hassenhutl 

The only person I want. Don’t think he’d be interested unfortunately. He certainly wouldn’t want to work under Tinnion.
