    Why were they both in England jobs? Great coaches technically?

    Or not hard enough with players? Too chummy with them?

    Maybe a bit like Holden with such as Paterson?

    I’m assuming in under 21s you get to work with cream of crop every couple of months and the coaching side is to some respects a bit redundant. You have minimal Time to make any impact.
    Full time championship you HAVE to make a change, you have to impact those players. You’ve got to get those players to change. You have to motivate them and inspire them everyday.
     

    (Having said that Simpson did ok at Carlisle, so the above may be moot).

    Where has he deflected blame ? 

    Where had he accepted blame?

    He keeps referring to passengers and people not wanting to be on the bus.

    He’s got rid of Simpson and Downing.

    Got rid of quite a few players in the summer.

    Brought in a few he knew who have proven to be mediocre. 

    At some point you can only move so many pieces before the spotlight falls on you.

    We’re approaching that now with Pearson. 

    I’m still of the opinion he’s the man long term, this is not a NP out rant. But to my mind, it’s becoming a bit, “I’ll change this to disguise this”. 
     

    He should have made an impact by now. In drives and drabs he has, but there should be more improvement.

    No Keith Downing here today... 

    No.

    Is he likely to be back in the dugout? What's going on there? Obviously Paul [Simpson] left yesterday as well. 

    I can't give you any confirmation as to where that will go at the moment but as I've already pointed out it was Paul's decision to settle with the club.

    I don't want players at the club if they don't want to be here and likewise the staff. It's very straightforward in my head.

    Will you replace him? 

    Replace who?

    Paul... 

    I don't know on that one, we'll see what happens. As far as I'm concerned it's football. I've got no time to dwell on irrelevant situations if they have negative connotations for the squad. I don't have anything further to add.

    From the EP.

    All a bit mysterious sounding.
     

    Feels to me, like we are rapidly reaching a watershed moment in Pearson’s career here. I like him, think that it’s a long job and he’s the man for it.

    But I have a creeping feeling that everything is someone’s else’s fault and he’s deflecting blame. Lets hope I’m proven wrong and he really is identifying problems, fixing them and setting something up for the greater good.

    If both coaches end up going, do we need to replace them, now that Nige has recently appointed his own Assistant Manager?

    Would rather we save the money and invest it in the playing side.

    The “savings” are so minimal as to be worthless for any investment in the squad. We might get one half decent loanee and cover his wages for their wages. But i imagine they will be replaced which makes that moot.

    Wonder who's coming in, and if it'll be one incoming or two? ?

    Either way always felt these two were slightly underwhelming appointments along with Holden. England youth coach roles sadly don't mean a lot. 

    I've never really got what they brought to the party and it just never seemed a good fit.  NP has had time to come to the same opinion I think.  Might well be as simple as they haven't got the wherewithal to get across NPs message, tactics and formations to the players. Let's be honest, they been the one consistent feature through our terrible home run, numerous late collapses and lack of shape on the field.  Coincidence?

  11. Nottingham Forest at home match day thread

    in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive

    Posted · Edited by cityloyal473

    A rejuvenated Forest backed by a noisy following against a pathetic City who can't string two passes together and backed by the Ashton Gate library.  Only one way this is ending and might lead to the first signs of visible disgruntlement among City fans.  We've barely raised a whimper about this home form and this can't go on. An ironic chuckle at the end of every home interview from NP about a failure to yet again win might start to grate.

    Mmm thing is, Plymouth had a midweek trip to Rochdale a few years earlier in which they won promotion and they took around 1500 for an even longer journey. That was where some of the comparisons were being made and if we’re honest, it doesn’t make us look good.

    I think it’s just like other people have said, we don’t travel well past the midlands but our away support in the London and West Midlands area is pretty decent.. (although obviously nothing compared to the hoards that Rovers take everywhere)

    But we are honest about it.
