    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. 

    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)

    I'm going back to the days where I never bothered to follow away games, just looked at the final score when I had the time in what was a busy social day for me.

    Following this crap ruins my weekend and wastes my time. 

    That’s modern media for you.

    Away days stood outside Tandy watching final score through the window whilst the girlfriend was shopping ?

    The players have got to watch out for the ref trying to even up the red card situation in the second half.

    Don't give him any opportunity to do so.

    Their lot will be on the ref's back every chance they get.

    Correct!

    Almost embarrassing how refs think isn’t it? It’s very soft and if not already a man down i don’t think the ref awards it.

    Sit back and watch total football on a combined weekly wage of about a fiver! 

    It never seemed this serious when we were younger. Drunk by 1, game forgotten about by 5.30.

    Repeat ?

    That said I understand why people are defensive of him, but at the moment I think both sides can probably accept that there are good arguments for and against retaining him.

    Do you think the majority of ‘defensive’ people are defensive of him or of the situation?

    My gripe has long been with other parts of the club.

    I didnt think Lee Johnson made the most of his situation and should have had us in the play offs twice but failed. However I also see how it’s challenging when having to ship players on and Ashton brining in poor replacements.

    I had every sympathy for Dean Holden and whilst I accept why he went, i feel sorry for the shittiest of hands he was dealt iro injuries and the complete mismanagement of finances and contracts. 

    I was glad that we appointed someone like Nigel Pearson but have posted numerous times that I don’t know if he will be a success or not. I do know the ‘hand’ the club dealt with Holden is just as shitty for him and therefor I have no faith that sacking him and bringing someone else in improves our lot.

    This is just a ‘what if’ I know, but say Pearson goes and we bring in Ryan Lowe what happens if he fails? Where would the fault lie for what would be the previous 5/6 years from that Autumn of 2017?

    In contrast, your posts are always interesting and it seems like you have balanced view of things, do you honestly feel that the club is in any shape that Ryan Lowe would be a success? Also what is success for Ryan Lowe.

    Bit of a ramble, sorry, I just think that for me it’s not about Pearson as an individual, or Holden for that matter, but the club as a whole and what it will take to fix it. 

    Im still not convinced that changing managers in the next couple of months helps.
