If we don’t see improvement by then I think his position starts to become unattainable And then we go for a cheap out of work manager who is friendly with our owner and back to square one we go 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3City Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 I think we're in a position where we probably have to stick with NP irrespective. Assuming he gets an opportunity to trade in the summer, bringing in what he can solely based on what goes out - what would be the point in getting rid of him after 10 games (or whatever)? The new guy inherits a squad that he almost definitely won't want, which means we end up even further backwards than we are now. I honestly don't think we've got much choice...

GrahamC Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Ages, I think. I know it will piss some off but that was miles better today, beyond a health issue I can’t see a circumstance where he doesn’t start next season in charge. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Negan said: No not saying there was lack of effort, just stating that it’s probably in some players heads now that the season is pretty much done. They’ll obviously always go out to win but the points aren’t as crucial anymore. Players will always have more fight and grit if there’s something to play for. There is the other side to that argument where teams like us can play a bit more freely and take more chances, hopefully that’s what we see from now until May. Plus I’m really hoping Andi can hit 20 I thought to be honest first 20 both sides looked like they were on their hols. Much better from us today, would have taken a point at 80 gone, really disappointed we did not win, makes no difference really.

By all means be pissed off with another last minute goal conceded, but ffs don’t call for the manager to go on the back of that performance. It was also very clearly our throw just after Martin & Wells were keeping the ball in the corner, too. The ref was desperate to give them everything all game, should have done a little better after that but small margins. I thought we played well today & looked more secure defensively than for some while. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he remains the right person for the job at hand. Half the issue is that player / depth strength doesn’t allow him to play in the formation and style he wants to, recruitment is key as is managing to keep key individuals fit. Pearson seems to appreciate and accept the cash flow situation, attracting a new manager when we’ve got f’all in the pot would be challenging.

Is that how it is? I haven't read much of OTIB for a while. Always difficult to balance where you are against where you theoretically should be, and if there is a convincing argument as to why Pearson should be replaced then... Well, why not. But as you say, much easier to say than to justify. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugget Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 The season has had some stop start moments with Pearson’s health. The board stood by him then, there’ll be a chance to clear some more players out - Palmer, Wells & O’Dowda will def be off & hopefully bring in some savvy replacements. I think the Lansdown’s will be delighted to stay in the Championship, remember the chat when it was looking a bit brown pants time from Gould saying their Summer targets may need to be brought forward in Jan… Results improved & we are safe so will be interesting to see who these targets are & that will probably gauge the expectation of next Season & probably the opinion of fans as we know he’s working with what he’s got & see what the team looks like on the first game of next season, could be a big overhaul.

Slack Bladder Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Thought he could have killed the game in injury time today by using the 2 subs at his disposal. What ever happened to taking off the player furthest player away from the dugout and let them canter off.
