Didn’t realise they were top of League one to be fair. Plymouth are a funny one, it must be what 15-20 years ago that we would of viewed them as a club on a par with us and as a direct rival to get promotion out of League one. Feels like we have overtaken them by some margin in those years both on and off the pitch but fair play to them, would be a decent derby (of sorts) if they came up.

Believe it or not Bristol City football club is not like the North Korean state and information about the ‘’inner workings’’ of most parts of the club if you know the right people and ask the right questions can be fairly easily obtainable. I have no reason to believe the OP is shit stirring as what he is telling us is pretty much the exact same information I heard through a source that i have at the club. It’s certainly far from top secret information i can assure you on that and quite frankly if i was SL i would be fairly embarrassed/annoyed at the set up especially considering how well he has done with the physical infrastructure of the football club in the past 5 years.

A great post and it echo’s the small snippets of info that i have been told by a source i have at the club.. It’s a concern and i think we have to look at this realistically, Pearson hasn’t got the network of people around him that he in reality needs to be successful. I would love Nige to succeed but you just hope that he can get in the personnel needs into the club.

Nothing better than seeing United getting pumped at home!

I wasn’t there yesterday but come on the last people that need to be blamed is the fans, a sold out away following deserves a better performance than what was dished up yesterday. The 6th best home attendance in the division aswell, we deserve better and to be honest why the **** shouldn’t we have a moan and have our say.. call it shit support if you want but a dog shit performance needs to be called out Imo.

Got to be looking at getting a win and a good performance on Saturday. Play like they did for the large spells at Forest and we should pick up 3 points. You just hope and pray for Nige’s sake that they don’t put in an abject performance and lose, I think even the most patient amongst us would start to have some doubts then imo.

And meanwhile Ajax Amsterdam are performing pyro shows like this without a complaint in sight. The dutch must have stronger lungs than us English I’m guessing?

Jesus wept, we have some absolute wet weekends that follow this football club don’t we.

Its actually baffling. You see packed away ends up and down the country with fans of other clubs happily standing where they want. Aslong as i have got a place to stand with my mates I couldn’t give two ***** to be honest.

Away games should be unreserved seating its as simple as that IMO.

Barnsley at home has become almost a little bit of a must Win IMO. Lose that with an abject performance and I’d really start to question Nigel Pearson to be honest.

Shame, was hoping he would stay to take them down

Double post

It certainly makes sense that Nige is now clearing the decks and paving a way for his own staff to come in. Downing and Simpson seem like good guys but the whole trio of them and Holden was a complete car crash of appointments they should have all got the sack together IMO.

In good form he may well be but i can guarantee he can’t/won’t keep it up. We all saw him show glimpses here of being a top class championship player but for whatever reason he cannot consistently do it. Fair play to him and Swansea if they can get consistency out of his game but i just don’t see it happening especially when he bas never done it in his career to date.

I don’t think anyone would have been happy that we STILL haven’t won at home yet and its coming up to November but each to there own.

Play him centrally and give him a run of games IMO.

Having slept on it - I’ve woken up thinking Pearson will still have the backing of the vast majority of the board and many fans but as KITR’s thread points out there will start to be genuine doubts from even the most level headed and sensible among us. The 3 year plan is all well and good and I’m all for it but results at home do need to start picking up ASAP or you fear for the crowd inevitably turning on Pearson and the project.

Looks a decent prospect, always goes into tackles fully committed and looks like he has a lot of heart and endeavour about him.

I agree fully to be honest, we are looking down the barrel now and with the greatest of respect to Pearson the home crowd will start to turn on him sooner or later and who can blame them - we have been patient enough IMO.

Full internationals like Kalas players like Baker with tons of Championship and Prem games under his belt Dasilva another with plenty of experience at this level.. you can make a case for Atkinson and Tanner but they have enough experience around them.. It’s a disgrace and Pearson and the coaching staff should be getting more out of this team.

Indeed. I was sat here praying for the win bit genuinely expecting and equaliser. As you said they way Smith grabbed that ball and ran back to restart tells you all you need to know, they knew we were there for the taking. Im still behind Pearson but christ the patience is wearing thin, its a result based business unfortunately and his results are dire at home how ever you dress it up.

Steve cooper can **** off aswell the ugly looking ***

Im still behind Nige but **** I the board must be starting to have some doubts now IMO.

Disgraceful absolutely disgraceful
