How many times did Pearson play TGH at Left Back?

None would be my guess.

Just now, Midred said:

Isn't he cheering on Bournemouth at the Blades?

Coming back on loan.

Have you got a thing about Swedish blondes Dave? We have lots of blondes here as well.

My ex was a swede from Ulricehamn, a lovely part of the world.

Married to a brunette English woman now, stitch up.

Relatively predictable team, possibly the strongest we have. Strong bench as well. 

Still think Boro will have too much for us, but hoping for a good performance to get LM up and running. 

Try to sneak Naismith in there as well I suppose.

I'm glad the International break is over.

Apart from that, I'm not particularly excited or looking forward to the game. I really hope that the boys do well tomorrow and that the new Coaching team get the result and the performance they want.

When a new Management or Coaching team come in, there is usually a bit of a buzz or expectation that a new era may be dawning. It just doesn't feel that way this time. 

Good luck to everyone.

Exactly how I feel about it, I've lost interest.

Hopefully it'll come back after a while... I suppose exciting football and wins will help!

Doesn't come across like Lee Johnson at all then!

Mine would be Brian parkin, all-day long, in the words of Brian Clough a clown. He thought he was playing centre half, acculmating in a sending off, and a goal from the free kick, now that did make me smile, anyone else?

Do you mean persona non grata?

I'm just amazed there's someone under 70 years old named 'Des'...

I just don't see it. If he were at Stoke City, rather rhan Man City, would people be raving? I haven't seen anything to justify a call up.

You've stitched yourself up here. Won't be able to take your opinion on football that seriously anymore

Is that zac Phillips the Welsh lad plays for his country 

Isn't that Zac Bell? On loan at Yeovil.

We have. And Barton was sent packing before ours. 

Is it because there is a fantastic 'builder' of a manager that is recently available, that has fallen in love with North Somerset, but can't quite commit to a job yet because of health issues? 

They should go all out for Pearson, would be a fantastic appointment.

Can't say I'd be too happy tho!

He is there foreign scout 

Isn't he a coach / scout? Dual role.

I imagine it's more the abuse he's getting which is causing him to block people.

Someone has to skew this place back the other way. We want our Nige backget behind the team you weirdos. Swear all you cultists would love to be relegated so you can say I told you so

Why does it have to be such extremes? A lot of fans are rightly gutted that Pearson have gone and will need a bit of time to get over it. 

We're all getting behind the team, unfortunately today was a very uninspiring start.

'Skew this place back the other way' isn't really needed, give it a few weeks and hopefully some decent performances and it'll happen.

Ooh I hope that is me. I am like the forum Liam Manning I guess. Someone to put all the forum dinosaurs in their place. Recruiting fresh young city fans who have actually played and understand the game

NP cult out in full force tonight glad the miserable bloke is gone. How refreshing it must be for the players to get instructions from the main man. Not some dinosaur that spent a few days down in Cornwall every week while Fleming and Euell took charge. Out with the journeyman “manager” and in with the fresh head coach. Well done Jon and Brian 

Must be one of the most ridiculous posts I've ever seen on OTIB... and that's in a very strong field.

To say Pearson would have got two wins in a row is clutching at straws. Didn’t do that very often in his whole time here. 

Doubt he played the two worst teams in the league very often either?

Regardless, will take a few months to start seeing what Manning wants the team to be I imagine. Have to give him a bit of a free pass for a while in my opinion.

Bloody love a new manager bounce.

-Manning's first game.

-A chance for first back to back wins in God knows how long.

-Last game before an international break, which we can take good form in to.

-QPR are in horrid form, especially at home.

-QPR are missing Ilias Chair.

 

So naturally I'm terrified.  COYR!

I'm not sure they're quite as bad as people are saying, a draw last match and a narrow late defeat to Leicester after being reduced to 10 men. It's a tougher match than some people think.

If you want to make it even worse they are on a run of 14 games without a win, and who loves breaking those sorts of streaks

Is it actually fact we often break these streaks? I've seen it written a lot.

That first meeting in person they all looked so disengaged and demotivated. Experienced pro’s likely thinking….who is this guy? 

You're right, he's lost the dressing room already. Manning out.

Is it just me? This footage smacks of everyone appearing to be very happy and smiling/joking, https://www.bcfc.co.uk/video/features/robins-uncut-liam-mannings-first-training-session/

With the obvious exception of Tommy.

 

 

 

All seem very jolly at the start but that's probably pretty normal isn't it?
