And Its Smith

Looks like it is Lees, Crawley, Root, Lawrence, Stokes, Bairstow, Foakes, Woakes, Overton, Wood, Leach Leach says that Root now fully trusts him after a recent chat….actions speak louder than words on that I think.

If he can’t stop a team from conceding an incredible amount of goals then I’m not sure how he guides us through. There is a bad defence and then there is what he is overseeing right now

Irrespective of everything here, Pearson has overseen an embarrassing defence that is not improving. Let’s not ignore that as well. He shouldn’t get a free ride because of the financials

No segregation in rugby so it is very different. If there was none in football we would see a number of fights every game

Don’t think I’ve been checked for what I am bringing into Ashton gate for about 5 years. Could take anything in. I am amazed the club don’t seem to find or ban these people. One would assume that if they banned anyone they would announce it as a deterrent to others

It certainly is a minority that will end up ruining it for the rest. Surely some self policing can be done. Did anyone have a proper pop at the guy who threw the can? Plenty would know who did it. Clearly there is no deterrent from within 82.

Section 82 are throwing objects every game it seems. Maybe it was a mistake to make that area, as it just attracts louts. The Dolman fighting is embarrassing. 8 on 1. So ruddy bloody brave.

Thanks. My instinct was it was a stupid thread and I wasn’t being thick, but always worth checking!

This thread is lost on me. Where are we ? What’s the relevance ?

Mathematically safe is a long way off as you’d have to assume the clubs below us win every game from here which won’t happen. If we assume Posh are down, Derby are on for 36 points Reading are on for 40 points Barnsley are on for 32 points We already have 40 points so will be fine. One more win will guarantee it

Pearson took Simpson on trial, watched him over a period of time and deemed him a solution at right back. He got it badly wrong it seems.

His assessment should be spot on. He’s a highly paid manager. I can assess the game. Fans love plain talking managers. For me, performances are much more important. Couldn’t give a damn what managers say really

Ban the stupid parents and move on.

If he could fix it whilst also being plain speaking that would be great

No way. Bentley had a fair few saves to make. Etheridge barely had any. With defending like we defended in the first half we got what we deserved, nothing.

Bentley 6 Bell 2 Kalas 5 Klose 5 Dasilva 6 James 2 Williams 2 Scott 4 weimann 5 Martin 4 Semenyo 4

Probably the most embarrassing half of Pearsons reign. A few more performances like this, conceding goals with non league defending, and his job will be under pressure

Shane Warne - the best bowler of all time in my eyes. Shocking news

I don’t recall anything about Lansdown being there

It’s great isn’t it Sports Weirdest Crime Podcast. Series 1 about Allan Stanford is brilliant as well

Sounds like you’ve had enough. What utter tosh. I have children in the younger generations and i coach kids in two separate sports and don’t recognise this at all. That’s over 35 kids. What I see is a wonderful generation with plenty of respect and kindness to one another. When I look to the older people in my life I see a lot of snowflake behaviour, bitterness and a very insular attitude. The over 50s are the generation that bought us Brexit and a decade of Tory rule. Rather than fear for this country I have hope. This country is in an awful place right now and if you think that’s young peoples fault then you are crazy.

It’s staggering what will upset people

Thanks for letting me know when it is! Always forget

I think they are (and should) focus on other areas rather than just the average. We need to identify players with the technique and temperament for test cricket and sometimes that isn’t the highest average scorers from county cricket

Because their numbers on the back were opposite to the team sheet
