Ugh so many long balls ,if semenyo comes on please just bring off a midfielder as the cm is being by passed . Would like to see tanner come on at rb and go four at the back

I'm sure thats more a reflection on NP than King, crowd recognising what nearly all supporters can see - a player doing his best being played out of position by his manager whilst more than capable career CBs are on the bench.

Shame for King to hear it.

 

Oh 100 percent it’s aimed at nige . It just feels like a slow drawn out approach to the inevitable now.

Semenyo warming up, I'd suggest taking Alex Scott off as he has not been in the game at all today - most unusual.

Or drop Scott deeper for James 

[marcofisher]

We could really do with Weimann down the middle

Intrigued to hear what there is you’ve seen this season that makes you believe Pearson to be a ‘proper’ manager in modern day football?

Are you really intrigued, or just upset?

must be (not including today) the 42losses managed from 88 games

[Atyeo's lift]

Long balls caused by them closing down well

[old_eastender]

back to awful square/backward passing for us, Pring on the left touch line being ignored as an outlet for some reason.

[Spike]

In the first 15 minutes of this second half we've played 10 long balls down the wing, we've not completed one of them... 

[Dan Robin]

Not a great consolation but...at least Hudds and Wigan are losing.

No, I am intrigued. 
 

I have plenty of time for Pearson, and considering the sinking ship he inherited I’d certainly give him more time. However, in what way has he proved himself to be a ‘proper manager’ during his time with us? 

[redkev]

Weizmann & Scott just not in n the game enough , in my eyes scott hasn’t lived up to standards of last year as for Weizmann perhaps because he’s playing out of position is back to the he runs around a lot and points player 

[Woofyourkipper]

I’ve always liked/supported Pearson but this side and tactics is just shambolic.constantly passing backwards and sideways,so boring

He's beyond any criticism to some.

[Peter1450]

The manager must be content with what he’s seeing,no movement on the bench

Agreed you don't score 20+ goals then become crap overnight.

That was the worst attempt at play acting I think I’ve ever seen. 

Hope it gets the replays on social media it deserves

[Super]

We've been dire apart from 10 mins at end of first half.

The problem is we are still a sinking ship. Nothing has changed and he cannot seem to do anything about it.

[And Its Smith]

Can Pearson change a game ?  Not much in his back catalogue says he can 

[old_eastender]

Sykes about to come on, should be for Scott and push AW forward

[Banjo Red]

Williams and James are weak in the middle awful pairing.

If Johnson was in the dugout for this he would be getting heavily criticised, not being called a ‘proper manager’. I struggle to see what people have seen during his time here to make such a statement about him

He’s the same player that scored 20 imo, tactics are just wrong for him

[Peter1450]

Will someone have to go and get Chris Martin out of the Heineken Lounge?

You obviously see something or you wouldn’t be prepared to give him more time…regardless of the mess he inherited. Plenty of others have already given up.

a dejected looking AW subbed, and Willaims off too. Tanner and Sykes on.

Maybe a change of manager needed then? Pearson has had time, and has brought players in in order to change things. However it still doesn’t seem to be working. 
 

I hope we give him more time as I want it to work, but I can’t see how it is going to

[Guest]

Stoke equal v Rotherham we climb a place but still 1pt from drop

[cidercity1987]

What's this formation then? 4-4-2?
