marcofisher Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I think what impresses me most, is that big money man Nakhi Wells could have easily downed tools with how little he has played under NP. Yet, he has been a revelation the start of this season now he has been given a chance and has shown himself as a true professional. Really great management from Pearson imo. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engvall’s Splinter Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 The commitment was fantastic today. Has been since the first game - most amongst us supporters could see it. Some of the tackles (Joe Williams in particular) were great. Bodies on the line, working for each other. That’s what I want from my team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so, we offered him a new contract, albeit on reduced post covid terms, which as his right decided on a better offer from Cardiff, apparently about 10 Championship teams interested in him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdivision Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 NP talked last season about having a team that opponents hate playing against. I've seen that for the first time under him this week, consistently anyway (for 180 minutes in back-to-back games). That's the team I want to see as well: energy combined with quality - a significant improvement on the first three games and vast swathes of the last 18 months. The challenge will be keeping it going in a packed schedule before the international break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume he’s talking about those having this who have remained, so Klose at the back, James & King In midfield & Weimann, Wells & Martin. Presume he is suggesting that wasn’t the case with some that he’s moved on but I’m struggling to think who exactly he means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) I was told the other day by a reasonably senior player that he "can't remember having so much fun and enjoyment, both on and off the pitch, in his career". That has to be a great motivational factor if that goes for the rest of the squad. Edited August 21, 2022 by Port Said Red 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Nige said at the start of last season , that the prem is all about power pace & intensity . If you want to get there that’s what you need & it’s how he wants his teams to play. We’re starting to see it over 90 minutes now rather than in 20 minute bursts last season. This is why I laugh at some of our fans who shout for sackings after one or two indifferent results. Pearson had a hell of a lot of work to do to get us where we are now& we’ve still got a long way to go yet. just thinking about Conway, semenyo & wiemann or wells up top is very exciting Edited August 21, 2022 by steviestevieneville 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Some performance today, well ground out and some real quality. If we can keep being that resolute we will be fine. Shame it’s taken so long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciting times could be ahead. Agree with your comments. The word "could" is the important one. We haven't yet played any of the three from the Prem or an away game at places like the Hawthorns or Ewood Park. And yet if the Hull game had included two pens for us and none for the diving Tigers and we had not gifted Sunderland the extra two points, we could have been riding high. Maybe we are not ready for a season's slog at the top but we appear to be a big improvement on last season. Hoping pride doesn't come before a fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is an important point. Pearson strikes me as a fair manager. If you get the chance and take it, you will be rewarded. It isn't all about favourites and "the usual". He will be straight with players like Wells and Vyner when they don't make the team, but also allow them a fair chance to redeem themselves and win their place back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be a great motivational factor if that goes for the rest of the squad. Definitely. The 2014-15 team had that spirit amongst them and it was evident in how they performed on the pitch. Can only be a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Finally - back to back "meaningful" wins. Topped off with 2 good performances & clean sheets in both. Let's hope it's the start of a decent period & who knows where it could take us..! Mad to think that by 5pm on Saturday, we COULD be top of the league! Crazy division, where anyone can challenge, whirh a few decent results strung together. Fingers crossed this is finally the start of a brighter period..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been guilty of thinking he looked like he had an attitude problem at times, don’t think there can be any question of that now with how he’s conducted himself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardy Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 When you consider that we were pretty much robbed of 3 points at Hull & 2 at Wigan we are still sitting pretty nicely inside the top 10. If we can hold on to Weimann & the young stars and be lucky with injuries we could be the surprise package this season. Pearson does appear to be building something really positive now & the momentum is building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can never have enough leaders on the pitch. Best bit for me was him smacking Scott around the head Wednesday because he gave the ball away . Plus today , Atkinson went down injured right after their disallowed goal . Everyone waiting for the physio. Naismith walked over , lifted him up and told him to get on with it .
