Haha enjoy the cider- my point was, he inherited a squad low on confidence but he does nothing but reaffirm the fact that he thinks their rubbish… that is not the man management I expected from an experienced football hard man

Fair enough- you do seem slightly obsessed with Johnson but see your point. Pearson went from feb to end of October without a home win, their is plenty of championship experience in that squad and internationals- I don’t but into the fact that they are a dreadful bunch- they are not being coached well they are not motivated and I thought someone of his experience could at least bring that to the table… telling the press after every loss that we are a poor team Is not exactly motivational. I manage a high performing Sales team in a very competitive financial service industry- I make my people believe that they are better than I know they are (mainly because I am shite at recruiting) but it seems to work and their engagement is a credit to them- man management is all about the leader in charge

Yes I do actually

Yep another yesterday man, no doubt the usual we are not good enough honesty which everyone seems to love will be said- great way to build up a squad that have very little confidence already be confirming they are shite..

Johnson regularly had us competing at the top end of the table

I’m with Hampshire red and reds…. At the very least I thought Pearson could motivate this team and organise us… he has done neither and we look relegation cannon fodder.

Ten men and they are looking the most likely… soft underbelly

It would be lovely if Williams could actually play a game every now and then!!

3 points off top 2 and quarter finals of league cup…rather have your season than ours fella

Yep totally agree….nobody wanted Holden because they felt he was part of the problem when Lee left. However his record and win % are superior to Pearson, who I believe many were grasping onto his past glories hoping he would replicate it here. This team has no steel, no leadership, no determination, is mentally weak - and despite everyone saying this squad is rubbish, these are all things that can be instilled into players by the right type of leader, the right type of motivator. The problem I have is that I have never got the feeling that Pearson really wants to be here, he doesn’t look like a man who is enjoying his job, or a man determined to do something special and turn this club around. That must surely rub off on the players, and he compounds it most weeks by confirming how shit we are and how we need a lot more players to be able to compete, which everyone seems to love because he is being so honest!!! We are most definitely relegation candidates, too early to push the button for me but how long do you give it and who do you bring in. One thing I am sure of is that Lansdown does not have a clue, and probably does not have a shortlist of possible replacements.

Agree… but wow £4m we paid for him wasn’t it? Or was that an exaggerated number much like the quotes of £7m for massengo?

Have you got nothing better to do on a Saturday night than highlight Hampshire logon times ??

Clinical finishing, fair play to him

I reckon she feels the same mate

For me and given his experience I would have expected at the very least Some kind of identity to our play, players mentally stronger, some leaders on the pitch. it has been a little better than Holden but I still see none of the above.

I agree totally, Martin/ Weimann have also got hundreds of games at this level. James has won a premier league. This squad has plenty of championship experience

All too inevitable now- we sat further and further back as the half went on, eleven men behind the ball and said to them you will have to break us down. For all the noise about Dave Rennie helping the physical side of the player well-being, I think it’s now a big mental problem for the players especially at home, that last ten minutes where were the leaders barking orders…. Talking the younger players through the game… I only saw Tanner putting the crunching tackles in to get the crown behind them. We still look like eleven individuals out on the pitch and not a team with spirit. we didn’t play well and a draw would have been a fair result.

Indeed he was man of the match for us tonight for me…. Although I thought we paid £3m for him

Been to Pasture a couple of times and to be honest was a bit underwhelmed, the second time was for an anniversary meal and my steak had so much salt on it that my mouth was burning for a couple of hours after we left. Lovely looking restaurant and maybe just an off night but it hasn’t inspired me to go back. I know this is Bristol restaurants but someone who works in London and the city quite often, if you are into your steaks I recommend Goodman’s. They have several restaurants in Mayfair, city and Canary Wharf.

Yeah lots of abuse, you called someone unhinged, not a nice look. What has age got to do with anything? Your not 21 either but always seem to pontificate your views to others. o’dowda has not progressed here and does need to be moved on and Semenyo will never be a £15-£20m footballer

Pretty sure you or your previous guise got your knickers in a twist and started crying about how much more KITR knows about our transfer activity than anyone else. So not sure labelling others As unhinged is for you. Think you also claimed Semenyo would be our next £15-£20m sale. O’dowda is dreadful, Irish work colleague cannot believe he is an international, but more symptom of their current lack of talent as a nation.

Disgraceful run of results

Got sent an email from a Millwall fan this week of city being turned over outside the Greg pub in London… never had to rely on them and glad that this kind of thing is something of the past… Football has evolved in terms of experience and as much as it pains me to say it but the premier league has made this happen by appealing to a wider audience after the 1990 World Cup. it reached out to families and was inclusive of women and children… I can’t see it ever going back to the dark shameful days.

Indeed and I also don’t believe the “We are not far right” bullshit that they are coming out with. I am pretty sure I had seen in the past sites and individuals linked to football firms frequently sharing posts from Britain First and that Paul Golding muppet who are about as far right as it gets.

Definite difference this season in terms of fitness, work ethic, discipline and shape. I think the days of us getting turned over heavily are behind us, and if you do beat us it won’t be easy.
