Anyone who regularly watches the u23s able to say how Sam Pearson has been getting on? I saw him in a pre-season game playing RWB and he was best player on the pitch (Benyous was also playing that day, and Scott only on the bench)

Really surprised that Pearson hasn’t made the bench (at least) yet this season, especially as we seem to be struggling at times at that exact position.

When you say ‘decided’ how do you know that?

How much did we have to spend on players and wages?

How much of the wage bill did we have to chop due to the mid management of Ashton?

I’ll happily concede Nigel Pearson is failing if we also concede Lansdown has overseen a slow cluster **** spanning 3 years (for a change)

He’s come out a number of times and said he preferred to run with a smaller squad. We are now massively hamstrung by that. 
Having said that, I’d absolutely concede that the mis-management by Lansdown leading up to NP appointment meant Nige’s job was almost impossible.

No manager can shake this mess up.  They all have to go.  Complete mental lock out..  Nigel needs to sack off some of these pros. They are not good enough fact they’ve had there chance. 

 

The trouble is that Pearson decided to go with a very thin squad. You can only do that  if the core of those are dependable. Our squad is anything but that. His decision on the squad size was suicidal, and we are where we are because of it. 
He may well call out players from this game and say he’ll replace them, but he’ll only be replacing them with the players be bawled out the week before.
