Crikey @Mr Popodopolousgets about! Why on earth does every Derby fan on there hate him?!

Please name the "usual suspects" and who you would replace them with?

Well I believe his name is Andy. I'd replace him with anyone to be honest...

Agree. We cannot know who might be able, interested, tipped from within the game, affordable or interview well. We can only go by what we see out on the pitch and draw our sketchy conclusions as to who is responsible for a faltering team. It's fair doos to say "someone out" without offering a replacement. 

But it's also fair to say what would another manager bring that this one doesn't. Hence asking for potential names.

Do they want a motivator? Is it down to tactics? Is it down to fitness? Do they want a 'bigger name' to bring in transfers?

I’ll be honest….I’d prefer the owner to move on before the manager 

I'm with you there . I still think the bigger picture means Pearson has his hands tied until we offload the high earners.

King, Tanner , Baker, , James….

James has been one of the better players this season so no.

Tanner was signed for next to nothing, low wages and has done well when clearly he wasn't expecting to play as much this season.

Baker was signed on a free transfer on a much reduced wage. He has played 15 games and wouldn't say Pearson 'hasnt got anything out of him'

Jury out on King.

Why do you and others always have to demand from anonymous posters that no longer believe in a manager who they would replace him with?

It's not our choice and the massive probability is that if a name is mentioned it will divide the fans and chances are is not the one that will be chosen.

Why not say the same thing every time a player is not playing well and is getting extreme grief?

It's the constant knee jerk reactions of the usual suspects on here who demand sackings without looking at the bigger picture. The issues with the bloated and now poor squad, FFP and the huge wage to turnover are all knock on effects of our friend Mr Ashton. 

I struggle to understand why anyone would think another manager could change this.

How many of our squad is he responsible for bringing in and not getting something out of?

Simpson?

How would any other manager get something out of this squad? 

Feel free to answer @lukebcfc1989

Genuinely think people are deluding themselves if they think another manager could get anything out of this shower of shit of a squad. 

pretty shocking really...

Mills sounds like a right **** and I’m sure he was a lot worse in his mid 20’s. Still sounds like pretty savage treatment from Nige. Two sides to every story though so would be interesting to hear his side.  Easy to fire cheap shots with no come back. Also if it was so bad why would he congratulate NP when they got promoted? I wouldn’t want to pss on them if they were on fire if they treated me like that let alone congratulate them!  Sensationalised somewhat I reckon. 

Yeah you only need to google his name to see various fans forums and all say about his ego and how much of a cock he is. Just listened and he is trying to come over as the good guy, I expect the reality of what happened was very different. 

Not listened yet but other guests on previous Under The Cosh pods have slagged him off a bit, remember the Ben Marshall one calling him a tit! and he always comes across as a bit of a cock. Interesting to hear his side of the Pearson story, rumours of him taking the piss and headbutts...

Starting to get a real dislike for Ipswich Town. Also known as the Mark Ashton affect 

Haha

The penny is dropping for some of them!

But my favourite comment:

"Nobody has had their head stuck in the sand over Ashton. Some people prefer to take people as they find them, rather than rely on the views of a bunch of weird Bristol City window lickers whose club has not exactly roared up the league since he left."

2-2 and we sacked him 2 days later. 

City in a back four

At least that's what the warm-up would indicate with the defence being tested with long balls from halfway and Zak Vyner and Callum O'Dowda lined up on the outside of Tomas Kalas and Nathan Baker.

O'Dowda has played there before, and this week it was interesting in his press conference he wanted to emphasise he's an "all-rounder" but it's a big call from Pearson.
