The Referee apologised for not wearing his correct shirt tonight

here i am moaning. But come on this is getting dreadful. i was at the game and i thought we were fortunate to get a point. if we dont win on Wednesday against stoke we need a change of manager. People can slag me of but this is getting to crisis point. Nigel pearsons record is dreadful. i keep hearing its a 3 year plan. but what is the plan.  joe williams was class i have to say. i wait for the criticism. 

Were you watching the gas, Jesus what a complete pile of crap. We played like a team for the first time. Give it time

Feels like groundhog Day of last season. Where is our identity and style of play? Not moved forward at all

Toothless, weak in midfield and defence, I'm sorry we are relegation material

How about ‘very likely to be relegated’ then?

To be honest, we don't have enough good solid players, any home confidence and the playing style is poor. We will be skirting relegation with this style of play and these players

This is it for me. Last season we were a complete embarrassment after the first 10 games or so. We didn't even compete and a huge chunk of our squad were dishonest bastards literally stealing a living out of Steve Lansdown. What we do have now is a competitive streak slightly marred by a lack of genuine and consistent quality through the side (eg Martin's winner was top drawer but he doesn't produce it every game or even every three games). In this division it is the competitive streak and honesty of the players that can see us through particularly in games like today that could have gone either way. Then Nige can think about how and where we add the quality to be able to control games as well as win them. That's the next step but as you say, a long way off and a few of the more "emotional" posters on the match day threads need to get a grip and realise that.

Well said

Not able to go today but hearing all the comments on the effort made today might just make a few realise just had bad it had become when accepting the ‘effort’ from the last couple of seasons?

Its what we had got used to and we almost sleep walked into relegation

Honestly looking at players who left everything on the pitch today, don't forget this is no quick fix but setting the foundations

I think it might be difficult but it is possible to play great passing football without parachute payments. Other teams have done it at this level without relying on parachute payments. All about good recruitment, a good youth system is a bonus too and of course a good manager who sets the team up well.

I don't think Pearson's way of playing is like that anyway which is fine.

Love to see a midfield of Massengo, Williams and James

Pearson just isn't the man for this. It's easy to blame Ashton etc but this team, the way we play and the mentality is ******* dire and doesn't seem to be improving.

I wouldn't be too upset to see him gone anytime soon 

Yawn...

Tremendous courage, what a lovely young lad. We need to give him VIP status when he visits when we'll again
