I have seen plenty of chat on social media again talking about the poor camera angle at AG. This is a topic that's been discussed for a long while now. I particularly remember it being talked about during the league cup run with the games against the Manchester clubs. Does anyone know why nothing has been done regarding this?

World cup qualifier against Northern Ireland kicking off at 19:45pm

Not forgetting

The under 17's are in World Cup action against Uzbekistan kicking off at 08:30am early Wednesday morning.

Now just looking for an audio/visual feed of either or both games
 

 

The U21's are on the England YouTube channel 

Think it'll be Rowett.

I personally think Jokanovic would be a good option but can't see a manager from overseas being appointed.

The Supporters Club & Trust don’t usually comment on managerial changes as we don’t have enough knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes and because it is a subject that usually divides opinion like no other. However, on this occasion the SC&T board, and it seems the vast majority of the fanbase, are agreed that sacking Nigel Pearson appears to be an incredibly harsh decision, whether or not it was based, as the club statement and quote from Jon Lansdown suggest, purely on football results. 

Never before have we had a manager who has been so fundamentally instrumental in positively changing the mentality, the culture, and the togetherness of the whole football club across men’s and women’s football. And Nigel did this while operating under huge financial constraints. His intervention to ensure that the end-of-season awards dinner was inclusive of supporter-led awards was evidence of his unifying influence at our club. As was the cultural leadership Pearson embodied in relation to the recognition and respect for the women’s game.

So, the sacking of Nigel Pearson begs many questions for us.

* What is the real reason? It is clearly not just about recent results. We’ve had worse runs. We have a huge number of injuries and are giving academy players debuts most weeks. Winning football matches in a very competitive Championship is difficult, even with a full squad.

* Are we clearing the decks for new investors to come in? A wholesale clear out of a CEO and manager might suggest that.

* Is Nigel Pearson too outspoken? He has been transparent about his feelings and just maybe this has finally broken an already strained relationship with the owners.

Questions like these arise when there is a lack of meaningful engagement and transparent communication from the custodians of our football club. There were times in the past when Steve Lansdown in particular would be visible, approachable, and responsive, whether that be behind the scenes, in media interviews, or even doing Q&As in the backrooms of pubs on away days. However, since the departure of Richard Gould, such communication has been sadly lacking.

We therefore again ask the club executives and owners for more transparency and improved supporter engagement going forwards, starting with greater clarity and context around the reason for Nigel Pearson’s sacking.

We thank Nigel, Jason Euell & Dave Rennie for their contribution to the Club, and wish Curtis Fleming, Ali Hines & Kalifa Cisse every success in this interim period.

 

Good statement and definitely the right questions. Thank you

If Roberts is fit enough, I would play:

             O'Leary

Sykes Dickie Pring Roberts

              James

          TGH Knight

  Weimann Conway Bell

If not, I would play Pring LB and Idehen at CB.

Who would you pick for tomorrow's game?

I would go with:

                O'Leary

Tanner Vyner Pring Roberts

   James Gardner-Hickman

               Knight

   Sykes Wells Mehmeti

Does anyone have a spare code please? 

Any spare codes please?

What pub are people going to tomorrow?

Tony Mowbray and Steve Clarke are both names not mentioned in the poll. Mowbray has vast experience in the Championship and has had a good season so far with Coventry in League One. Clarke is well known to us having already managed at Fulham this season. I think both managers would have good contacts in order to bring in players during the remainder of the transfer window. As much as Moyes or Di Matteo would be superb appointments, I don't think either are realistic, and the club should be looking at managers such as Mowbray and Clarke.
