Tinmans Love Child Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I’m not being funny but hard job as it may be, Pearson’s record is pretty bad, must be one of the worst ever. The end of last season on the trial period he did terribly, and this season has been similar. Although shoots of progress in attack, defensive issues have never been addressed. You have to wonder if he’s ever going to sort things out, especially if he has to sell our most promising assets in the summer. This turnaround is as slow as turning the Queen Mary! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think questions will start to get asked of Pearson soon enough by a wider section of the fanbase to be honest. I am still behind him but for me its the defensive issues that i am finding totally unacceptable. He seems to be unable to get us solid at the back which is a worry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 It’s a poor half. Very poor. Not blaming Bell, but he’s been exposed. Suspect he’ll be hooked at HT - it’s all coming down our right hand side. Odd decision to play him RB to be honest. But we see again how hard it is to blood youngsters in defensive positions. Two very soft goals and it’s shut up shop time from Brum who can sit back and nullify what we’re good at which is exploiting space with running and pace. If we can somehow sneak an early goal second half, well it’s game on. But we need to sure up at the back because 3-0 looks more likely than 2-1 at moment for next goal.

Whether he’s not fully fit or just playing badly I don’t know but he’s not doing the job of getting it off Kalas and moving it quickly. He’s not quick enough to cover the gaps behind the WB when they go as Williams is and he’s just been totally pedestrian. At times, Williams had had to drop to recieve because James isn’t moving it. We’re effectively as a result playing with Scott in CM alone. Awful first half. Only DaSilva in credit for me on that 45. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Against a team below us at kick off that was a very painful and disturbing half we were poor everywhere, they are clearly targeting Sam Bell, Semenyo and Martin in particular have been liabilities giving the ball away repeatedly.
