HPC all week ...... Kal , we need you to get it down , and get us playing...............Oh .........except when you make an error....then you’re a ******* liability .......so only good decisions in the heat of the match .......ok

For balance - Did you notice how many times he controlled a ball during the game and put us on the front foot , instead of kicking it or heading it anywhere ?

so for the second goal in particular .......you want him to ‘hit it in the stands’ do you

So , what’s your solution for Burnley and going forwards You obviously don’t get the bit, the irony , that the reason you are disappointed we didn’t get something from the game “due to Naismith’ m having played so well................ (Also significantly ‘due to Naismith’)

He actually does a lot of good ‘defending’ Dr Balls Blocks , headers , challenges His errors come when he’s trying to ‘play’ Of course you can take that away , but we’d be a far less attractive , potent , side

Thank you , as far as I’m concerned , you’ve absolutely got it Saves me repeating the same to @red colin, although I explained the same a couple of weeks back You either drop him or persist and accept a risk / reward Pearson will act, if and when , he thinks the risk outweighs the reward Simply moving him further forward is a cop out He was recruited for a specific purpose

Take them to watch the Sags first They will think they are watching a World XI in the Stadio Olympico when they see us and the Gate ??

You are sounding like BelterRed Maybe give Nigel a ring , put him right

What does Nigel Pearson know Maybe ............Nigel thinks playing him there is fundamental to our set up and how we want to play Whats your solution Drop him ? Play him in midfield ? For who ?

Were you not criticising the Test side for their positive approach in a similar way ? Im not sure why you watch sport , but First and foremost , like to be entertained , and enjoy it Deapite the score line I really enjoyed that , and it was , overall an excellent performance

You get the game enough to know it’s easier to cut out errors Stevie than creating real attacking intent and threat in a side ?? Enjoying watching this side as any I’ve seen at this level

I’ve pointed this out before , but you keep banging the same drum you do realise what a completely different game it is playing centre of midfield , in so many aspects ?

Easy sat on our settees of course Nigel praising the positive intent of players As he says risk and rewards

Nigel quite upbeat , and sounds relaxed again , ‘some harsh lessons learned’ , feels for players as we played some really good positive football

I can’t disagree , especially the first , I think he wanted to bring it down , nip it past the attacker Second one , I’m less critical , he makes so many of those passes to get us forward and threatening Hes a left winger , converted to midfielder , converted to a centre back , a footballer At the moment it seems a testing trade off, but for me, he’s been a major part in our improvement and performances

Ahhhhhhhhh So nice to see somebody who gets it ???? so many examples , but for one ball sent forward , Naismith and Norwich forward in 50/50 challenge Naismith realises Norwich forward can’t win header, doesn’t head it anywhere - waits for ball to drop to his chest , angles his chest to make a pass to teammate and gets us going forward again Numerous similar examples yet no one comments

Commentator made very complimentary comments about their efforts Well done lads and lasses who travelled ???️???

Nah - Some just act like spoilt children Northern , can’t recognise the dozens of positives, and cant wait to whine and moan , There are at least two on this thread that made negative comment , moan after moan the whole game Embarrassing

Well said Pete Theres a few who need to get a new hobby by their constant whining The best City footballing side I’ve seen at this level

Gives you something to whine about though. Eh

We’ve been ‘at it’ for 90 mins Tremendous

The best football we’ve played , since at least Cotts , if not better than that Some need a reality check

Time to collect those toys and get them back in the prams

Yes , season over What a supporter ?
