James54De Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 What a clown: ”Pearson once famously asked a news reporter if he was 'flexible enough to get his head in the sand', as an ostrich does. Bristol Live, in turn, asks Nigel Pearson if he is flexible enough to get his head out of the sand, revert to a 3-5-2, play his best players and see his team go on to get good results.” https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/one-simple-change-could-making-5786204 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 It's easy to form the impression that Gregor doesn't want to report on City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 What a weird, childish paragraph. Pearson has named one league side this season and Wells wasn’t in it. This article would make more sense if he didn’t play the next 6 games and we were in the bottom three. Mcgregor has obviously thought how he can hit back at Pearson but he’s got this one a bit wrong. Lovely circus entertainment though ! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 To be fair to Gregor, isn't he doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing and getting people to read his articles, just like I have. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leaves Gregor with little option but to be controversial and challenge the club and manager. The snippet above might be childishly positioned but ultimately asking about 3 at the back is only reflecting what plenty of fans on here have been saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KegCity Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Considering Vyner and Dasilva don’t suit playing wingback, it’s not a great shout really is it?

Nothing wrong with having an opinion on a formation. But bringing up a old incident which was very public and one NP apologised for IMO is childish and antagonist.

Red DNA Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 It won’t be long before one of them gets a poke in the eye, and it won’t be Nige…. Gregor is in way beyond his depth with someone as slick and professional as NP, time for him to find another niche for his reporting skills other than BCFC? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon bristol Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 He’s probably fed up of being talked to like a child. To be honest, the 3 centre backs of kalas baker and atkinson isnt the worst idea, but still wont help us score goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Personally i didn’t think that was a bad article. GM gets a bad press but that was pretty logical - however I’m sure it will boil Nigels piss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Reads like the sort of lengthy posts we see on here more than a piece of journalism. I like Gregor, and have defended him recently re his "altercations" with Pearson. This reads strangely though...is it really his job to make tactical suggestions to the manager in such a public way? There's no question here, no scoop, exclusive, or new piece of news that no one knows. It's just speculation, postulation, and a slightly odd sign off. A real weird one. 43 minutes ago, And Its Smith said: What a weird, childish paragraph. Pearson has named one league side this season and Wells wasn’t in it. This article would make more sense if he didn’t play the next 6 games and we were in the bottom three. Agree with this as well. It seems very early to start criticising team selection and formation. We haven't even lost a league game yet this season. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Such a bizarre sub-plot to the new season this. I will say, if Gregor thinks he can take on Pearson and win, he’ll be sorely disappointed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted August 13, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Gregor is acting like a keyboard warrior imo. Would he have the cajones to say that line to Pearson's face?

Furious Custard Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Gregor is doing his job. Its all just click bait and nothing more. Its fake drama to get you to visit the site and get talking aboutit. G McG knows it and NP knows it too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 I don't understand why everyone is getting their pinny's in a knot over this.? Gregor is just doing his job, as some one else stated, he is a journalist at a football club, who has to keep his readership interested, or else he is out of a job? Trying to come up with copy everyday is not always easy, and he is merely putting forward his own idea, to provoke comment and discussion...........which he has obviously achieved?. Personally I don't see that much wrong with his suggestion, I have heard worse. And as for Nige being bothered or concerned about Gregor\s article? He probably isn't even aware of it?..........and if he has read it?, I'm certain he couldn't care less, as he has many more important issues to deal with than one man's opinion? . . . 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrick's Marvels Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Did Richard Latham tell TC or Bug Joe what formation they should be picking? Or Peter Godsiff pontificate to Fred Ford or Alan Dicks?? Generating clicks on his employer's garbage website is one thing but this smacks of a death wish. Funny, though.
