Nige post match confirms he thinks we could announce signings within the next few weeks.

Imagine there’ll be more ‘noise’ around this one by this time next week. 

Have you got a link to where he says this? Cheers

Yeah, definitely those players who play for a contract and then once signed don’t seem to put it in.

I think we need to wait and see who the 7 are and who the 3 are but if Bents is 1 of the 3 I can imagine Klose and Martin are the other two.

Not all 7 will re-sign, I imagine Han is one where we’ve offered him a contract purely for compo reasons.

Think it will be interesting to see how other clubs cope with their players in the same situation. Generally i haven’t heard many players extending contracts other than young players, but that might change. 

Taylor-moore got to be one of the three?  Unless Pearson is counting him as already gone

Minority of one probably, but I’d like a young, up and coming manager, with fresh ideas, who can work within our limitations. Time to be bold, rather than just going for whichever ‘usual suspect’ has fallen off the merry go round of mediocrity.

3 managers/head coaches I really like and reckon they would be good.  Trouble is they’ve all moved jobs fairly recently.

Rob edwards. (Not going to get as just gone Luton)

Paul warne (just gone derby so ain’t going to get)

Michael duff at Barnsley.  Was quality at chelt now doing really well at Barnsley.

We all know money is tight so no point appointing a high profile manager in same ilk as Pearson eg wilder.  He left boro after moaning of lack of funds there let alone here.

A coach willing to work with squad he’s got and try and coach them better rather than just demand new players all the time.

A left field option would be Justin Cochran,  really highly thought of at Man Utd and at the fa.  Now head of coaching at Brentford.

You have picked random sides who you perceive as having  done better, but what about our main rivals of 20 years ago, the gas, swindon Plymouth and Cardiff 

Swindon and Cardiff both been in the prem. Cardiff twice.  Although swindon before lansdowns time

This is the problem SL will have in allowing Pearson to spend in January, we've signed 3 right backs under him and he still chooses to play Weimann over the two that were fit today, I guess Scott would have played there if Weimann didn't also. We're also currently starting a 35 yo midfield player at CB who's never played there before over his own 1.5m signing who's been one if our better players this season so why would you give any more funds in early Jan to a guy who may not be there a couple of weeks later?

4 rbs.  Simpson, Sykes, Wilson, Tanner.  One he later had to release!!!

(Piggybacking on you Q…but to all City fans on here, not you per se)

A manager who was happy to take on a shit-fest of a situation, have players leave OOC with little to no money to reinvest.

There’s your answer.

He deserves loads of time imho.  He’s rebuilding a club for the club…not himself.  People should be a bit more grateful.

The CEO pissed off, remember that, courting a set of owners for another team…don’t forget that.

We are competitive under Pearson, it’s hard work getting points in the Champ.  We are fighting an unknown transfer window, hoping to be in-tact when it ends.

Get behind him, be grateful we finished in the Championship last season, rather than going down…that’s the history of Bristol City, get into Champ for a few seasons then wallow as a 3rd tier club too big to be in it, but who takes several seasons to get back up.

We are so entitled.  We can’t wait to blame a player, we can’t wait to blame the manager.  Have a word with yourself.  

So is the above lansdowns fault? Poor decesion making at the top of the club throughout the years?

Conway and Scott would be nowhere near the squad under another manager. Turned Scott and Semenyo into £15m+ players, that will get us out of the deep shit that Holden, LJ & Ashton left us in.
 

Been ahead in every single game this season. I’ll start worrying if that stops happening and we start conceding goals that aren’t individual errors, in no way linked to coaching, or shit penalties/deflected goals. 

Sunderland 2nd goal sums us up under Pearson.  Vyner got the blame and yes he does get best easy but we are so open.  
 

should be making teams play around us not through us.  Vyner is left one v one right infront of our goal.  No protection from midfield, no sign of rwb and where has Naismith wandered off to.  When we loose the ball we need to be compact.  We are so easy to attack against.  We are a very poorly coached side defensively.  So so poor.  I actually thought that is something he would address when he took over.  Make us hard to beat but not very pretty.

so far he has made us easy to beat and so so open.  
 

our squad is set for 3-5-2 we need to appoint a coach who likes and had previous success with it.  Pearson openly admits he doesn’t like playing this way.

yes he has had to deal with difficult circumstances but so have half the championship.  

The poor lad, he has been through enough already 

What’s engvall up to now?

Weakness in his game? That was men against boys out there and Clarke made mince meat of him. It was embarrassing. Judging on that display he ain’t no centre back!

Luckily his career isn’t going to be judged on a dead rubber against sheff Utd then!

Really annoying interview ... 

played kelly at cb to see what he could do , 

he’s a lb 

lets try Frankie up front shall we ... 

johnson seriously your team selections are beyond bizarre..

What is more beneficial today, the result, or giving a young player minutes against a good side in what is basically a friendly. Yes he made mistakes, but the coaching staff can now see areas of weakness in his game they can work on with him. If he takes on board the advice and works on these things to improve, its great for us and him in the long run.

Where did he say that?
