AshtonGreat

We were. Statistically. I'm not saying we were that good under him, mind!

The difference being that Pearson has been given a lot longer than Holden got

By who?

We were finishing in the top 12 under Johnson, and came close to the play offs

The sad thing is, I don't think LJ was that great either. Pearson has some very decent players in that squad, make no mistake about it

We were generally better under Lee Johnson though

Fair enough

He says it's unacceptable, but we concede at least two goals almost every game. It's time he and his 'coaching' team took some of the blame He could've just stopped at that point

Blimey, you've got a good memory!

Reminds me a bit of Sean O' Driscoll - and that isn't a good thing :laugh:

It really is piss poor. What does Pearson do in training with them all week?

And yet Gabriel Jesus only managed 58 goals in 159 appearances

To think we had Jackie and Andy Cole, and Rovers still finished above us!

I'm prepared to bet that the singer was better than Ian Brown ?

I'm not doubting it's the going rate. It's still flipping expensive though. To be honest, I find tribute acts to be a much better bet these days. They're usually as good as, if not better than, the real thing, you get a much better view and they're a fraction of the price! Not that I'll be going to see the Arctic Monkeys anyway, as I think they're a bit meh tbh.

Seems pricey to me

Oh sorry. I misunderstood

I thought he did really well

You don't think they're worthy subs?

What do you mean by that?

Haha well at least it was an unforgettable experience for one reason or another!

I realise you're exaggerating there, but I don't get this idea that being high up in a stadium means that players look like dots. I went to the new Spurs stadium recently and was quite high up - the pitch still looked really big. By the way, lucky you for getting to see a Messi hattrick in person!

Positive signs so far this season but Pearson seriously needs to shore up the defence a bit if we're going to make any real progress

I think she did more than a pretty good job
