Then it will be hell of a struggle against Cardiff on Saturday.

If we survive this season which most agree we will. How we are going to fare next season. Unless we clear Wells and Palmer and buy really well then it will be another massive struggle. And I don't like to say it but I am not sure if Pearson is up to it.

I don't remember him looking any different since he signed for us What an inspiration he must be in the dressing room. Sooner he is gone the better for all.

I don't think money is much of an issue for Newcastle anymore.

My eternal pessimism makes me wonder at what point in injury time do Millwall get the winner. Let's hope for once this has a different ending. COYR

You must know him well then. To know what he thinks. Or how else could you make this comment.

But we still lost after taking the lead at home however you dress it up.

Agreed and we need to generate more income and they ignore the club shop. Once again piss poor management. Only hope is Gould being reasonably new might look to address this issue

A happy and safe Christmas to City fans everywhere. What ever we think and however much we argue our point of view on this forum we are a brotherhood and joined by our love of Bristol City. For better or for worse. All the best everyone.

COYR.

There is a large gulf between what we need and what we can afford. And Pearson will not be able to spend money that he does not have.

The shop simply does not match the stadium. The ground has come on leaps and bounds and the shop has not really progressed. The money they lose must be substantial.

Let's hope we keep on winning then.

Lad next door us an Ipswich fan and he reckons they are after MK Dons manager or Ryan Lowe.

Well done lads. COYR.

How does Bakinson keep his place. With him and Massengo in midfield to say it looks a bit lightweight is a massive understatement.

Absolutely right. But the tougher task is looking more like mission Impossible.

I am sure you are right but I would not have believed it.

We have little choice but that midfield looks so so weak.

A few decent tackles might be useful for a midfield player as well.

Am I right in saying FFP does not apply in League 1. Well the way we are going they will be no need to Google it next season.

I think his silence speaks volumes. That he is leaving the football club to get on with it and more funds to strengthen the team are not going to be forthcoming. His back is truly turned to the problems we currently have.

Yes agreed bad analogy. We cannot make Bakinson, for example, a Joe Williams. But you should expect him to work hard and give all he has. A good example is George Tanner a full back from league 2 when he stepped in to the team he clearly was not a ready made Championship player but he gave you a whole hearted performance. He worked his socks off.I think it is reasonable to expect that from all 11 players who wear our shirt even if we lose the game. And I thought Pearson would provide that more regularly than he is.

I struggle with the concept that the absence of 2 or 3 players can prevent the 11 selected from giving their best in a game. Also I think that the Manager has a role in motivating and organising the team and that just does not seem to be happening as I would have thought with a Manager of Pearson's experience.

He had a hard man image. But in reality he seems a soft touch. Can you imagine some of the players who bottled it today going in to see Joe Jordan after playing like that. It seems the players have no concerns about Pearson or his reaction when they put no effort or commitment in to a game.
