We really need to learn how to break lines when attacking and not just passing around teams side to side hoping a chance will present itself.

We are short on a creative midfielder clearly but it’s 3 points and that was most important today. 

We were fortunate that the best passer of a football on the pitch, got sent off.  I have my doubts we would have won otherwise.  The new manager has a lot of work to do, but  I am so glad we got 3 points

Big Shout to you Marcus................Are you not Entertained!  (Gladiator reference..ha!);  for this stream, saw the whole game with no buffering......Thanks for the heads up.

Patently obvious that we STILL need a goalscorer in the team?

Bell  End......Ha!!

Masaba looks a good player for Wednesday

unfortunately we are mainly a counter attacking side...............so faced with a packed defence we are often not smart or clever enough to create anything?     Something the new manager needs to sort out?

Bloke goes on radio to try and justify a decision. 
 

Bloke using his medical knowledge (zero) to assess the fitness of players given a break

Bloke implies that there is a lot he can’t talk about that went in to said decision. Rinse and repeat 

Bloke states we should be doing better with a top ten budget

Bloke brushes over having to play teenagers due to injuries

Bloke says club have communication problem. 
 

Bloke goes home. 

Bloke swans off to the Bahamas to  lie even more?...........but this time on a Lilo?

What is it then?

An unbiased unscripted interview with a knowledgeable sports journalist who is not connected to the club........perhaps?  But that would prove too risky for people who always want to control the questions and the agenda?

Yes. Thats my main concern too. 
If I assess his 2 successful squads, we don’t have the Twine or Rodrigues who is the main creator. We don’t have the 2 CM’s who can control possession. We’ve signed Jason Knight - he’s neither a creative AM or a possession heavy DM. I don’t think he fits. We certainly don’t have the play out from the back ability in our keeper and CM’s.

The teams he’s managed - we don’t have the personnel right now for his preferred style. Either he changes or we have to rebuild the squad 

If Manning got the job he would probably do what a lot of new managers do......go back to where he knows, and raid his former club.  I don't know Oxford too well, but i believe Branagan is their chief playmaker and top of assists.  Though i could be way off?  But you can guarantee he would bring in someone he rates from his former club?  IF he got the job?  I have my doubts it will be Manning however??

Not sure about everyone else but I’m finding this whole thing absolutely hilarious. I’m still in mourning for Nige and think I’ve reached the delirious stage of grief now

Your right all this Bull Shit could have been avoided if they had just kept the right man for the job?

John Eustace was odds on not that long ago.

I expect on this market bookies know barely anything, I'd imagine it's pretty much mostly an automatic formula/algorithm to spread bets such to optimise the amount that they make regardless of who is appointed. All this shows is that a load of people have backed Lampard, not that the bookies really know.

You have a valid point.....but that was the opening market based on conjecture, this is nearly a week after, and becoming based on the weight of money, which obviously will not be huge.  I often follow the money on Betfair with success, but those are larger markets?  I am not convinced it is FL, but i am not dismissing it?

Make of it what you will ..........Lampard Odds on Skybet now 1/4 ?    And Bookie's invariable know?

The one name that truly scares me.

Has done absolutely nothing but confirm that great players rarely make great coaches.

  The best club manager   of recent times................Guardiola?  And Zidane, Trapatonni, Deschamps, Capello, and as someone mentioned already Dalgleish. But apart  from one of the greats Jock Stein (The only manager to win a European Cup with a team made up of players all from their home city?)  No other Brits of any consequence I can think of?     Going back a fair bit?  Alf Ramsey  Ha!

This, a million times this.

This is the very definition of leadership and something those who are terrible leaders or over promoted (sons?) always misunderstand - thinking they need to do the complete opposite to hide their insecurity and to keep everyone else at arms length from decision making rather than create shared responsibility and leadership through delegation. 

It has been so obvious from the way he speaks and acts Pearson is a master of this with both his staff and his players. I have found it fascinating to hear how he articulated the environment he wants because it is so foreign to the owner and leadership of our club and how it has been run for decades, including under the LJ era that the owner so adored.

They are all inexperienced bluffers who are terrified of being shown up by real leadership and experience and create an environment where strong personalities are something to be scared of and to be avoided. We only want amateur yes men that keep the owner and his son feeling unexposed and able to lead. This is why Nigel Pearson has been such a breath of fresh air as even with mixed results and in difficult circumstances you could see the club was finally maturing and getting to be a place where leading by example mattered and standards reflected that.

And so the Lansdowns threw it all away again and consigned us to years more of wishy-washy make it up as we go along, rather than hear some home truths and trusting the experience of somebody who for once knows what developing a football club is all about. This is why it is so exhausting, painful and depressing this week - and why I have zero appetite or for any more years under this owner.

Exactly.........the Lansdowns ego's have blighted the opportunity for NP to build our club into something special, given more time and support,  i am confident he could and would have taken us to the Premiership

But the meddling of two non football savvy individuals has now ruined any chance   we had of achieving exactlly what Lansdown purports to be  his own   aim and ambition?  How can such a successful and wealthy businessman be so blind and shortsighted.   Those who fail to learn from history, are then doomed to continue to repeat the same mistakes.   And we all are fully aware of Lansdown's   ongoing record of appointing the wrong manager.   He then, at last gets it right  .....  , but then decides to squander the chance of likely success due to his own egocentric stubborness....I despair!
