Or Sheffield Wednesday? 15 points behind & an even worse goal difference? Rotherham? 19 points behind & a worse goal difference still? Want a £100 bet on it? Huddersfield (11 points behind, also a worse goal difference than us) won’t catch us, either. Behave. That's fair enough Graham but on current form, unless there's an improvement, we're on course for a 16th-19th finish which is below the majority (?) view of 10th-12th reflecting a modicum of success this campaign. Will the owner, JL & BT fess up to perhaps getting it wrong in their assessment of NP not getting the most out of a "top 6" squad? I think not! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Hampton Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 16 hours ago, Big C said: The club is in a much better position now than under Pearson shipping out dead wood and getting in players who will only improve If it’s in a better position it’s because of NP. Who are the deadwood? As your later post suggests, Weimman,King,James etc. So if NP had got rid of the “deadwood” who would he have replaced them with, given that his hands were tied in terms of finances? My last question, if NP could have “brought in players who could only improve”, what do you think might have happened there? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see an argument for them all to leave on a playing perspective. However I see good value in retaining some of them because of their experience. Experience is something you can't coach. It's a vital ingredient in a squad of young players. It's something we missed under LJ. It's odd...but as weeks have gone by, it's feeling more and more like LJs Tenure here.. Fans more divided again. More uncertainty. No trust in the top. Questionable tactics etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questionable tactics etc. I agree with this Our fanbase was Definitely divided by LJ, then we seemed to be more united under NP as you could see he was slowly turning the ship around and progress was being made, while bringing through some very talented youngsters. Now we seem to be divided again. I think the main reason for this is the reasons given by the board as to why NP was sacked and the expectations put upon the new 'relatively untried' manager 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should have played him in his best position - As a striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the reason given for replacing Nige was that he wasn’t getting the most out of the squad at his disposal, & the new guy would this season. Now all of a sudden it’s, well what do you expect he’s not got his own players, and wait till next season, when he will have had the opportunity to have a pre season. The suits are already trying to change the narrative. Edited February 3 by Ashtongreight 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you saying, hes dead wood because of Pearson, or the manager who sanctioned his exit? I saw a wholehearted player who gave his best wherever he played, who might help his club to the prem. Please give it a rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
