Agreed -'Bristol Sport' is his 'legacy'...without it he'd never be heard of again, which I suspect he wouldn't like. But maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment

Did they come over to the fans and clap them, look embarrassed or was it a I don't give a shit attitude? I would say some came and clapped but looked sheepish, but many went straight down the tunnel without coming over. Weimann, Wells, Cod Bentley for sure came over. Weimann held up his hands to appologise. Backinson for example ran straight off. Quote Link to comment
Hampshire reds Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Due to illness in family i could not make the game today. Full respect to 3k who went. did the fans stay with the team or did they get at them. Quote Link to comment
WessexPest Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Is this what we’ve been reduced to, speculating whether the obnoxious Colin W***er and his prehistoric tactics can pull us out of the quicksand?!? This club truly is on life support. Quote Link to comment

It only got really toxic after we let in their last goal which was pretty much the final whistle, thats when fans let rip Quote Link to comment

Is it the opposite, does he flog them in training and this is their response? I guess it also depends on how they can be motivated. money, pride or desire to forward their career. Many players it seems don't tick any of those boxes. The best way to motivate people is to recruit people who are already self motivated. I see little evidence of that in our squad. 2 Quote Link to comment

I don’t think it’s as much as lack of heart as lack of confidence that’s now probably spreading to the young players who have never played in a confident championship side and are over exposed now because of injuries. 4 Quote Link to comment
RedRock Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 This squad reminds me of a set of musicians in an orchestra as they warm up. Everybody doing their own thing making a right racket. Normally a conductor (the manager) comes along, smacks his stick on the lectern and everyone shuts up. He then wafts his stick around and some pleasant tunes are produced. The problem with our bunch is the conductor waves his stick and they continue to make a right din doing their own stuff. No tunes, just loads of random sounds. I’m beginning to think our ‘musicians’ are just frauds unable to play a tune at all, let alone form an ensemble. 1 Quote Link to comment

I can appreciate that, but surely he manages the coaches. He decides the game plan etc. The coaches have to drill the players ready for what the manager wants. Ultimately it the manager who gets the praise or the flack, so the buck stops with him and not his team 1 Quote Link to comment
Banjo Red Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Just seen the post match Flemming looked pissed and quite rightly so he used the word desire or lack of to describe that performance. Quote Link to comment

Coventry weren't oozing with talent or quality but certainly better gelled as a team and worked hard for eachother. Their manager looked like he got more out of a bunch of average players than we did with our Internationals and relatively expensive players. Granted we had young players out there, but I guess so did Coventry. Quote Link to comment

Pissed off, please, not pissed. We're in the West Country, not West Virginia. Seriously though, these sort of late losses must utterly crush the self-belief of these players. They think it's coming as much as we do. I don't think the current management team can shake off that mindset from our squad and the lack of confidence feeds losses which feeds further lack of confidence. It's a classic vicious circle. If Pearson is to stay, he needs help from someone new. Urgently. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Clearly desire was missing today and that isn't acceptable. If players need desire to be put into them they are playing at the wrong level, simple as that. I bet if a 30 year old Curtis Fleming was out there today and Nigel Pearson for that matter we wouldn't have capitulated like that. We have a group that are weak as piss not to mention low on ability, the mentality is shocking. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Redtrojan Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Miserable times ,we truly are pony. However on a more positive note ,on page one of this thread you will see i put £10 on city to win (11-2) despite your better advice , and remarkably sensible behaviour,I cashed out for a near £30 profit at 2-1 up,so not all bad………just saying. 2 Quote Link to comment
