italian dave Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 1 minute ago, Alan Dicks said: Not Nigel's team granted, but he’s been here long enough now to have had some positive affect on results. Sadly that’s not the case and there has been absolutely no improvement from the Holden days. Agree....and even if not results, at the very least some sort of pattern, style, we still look like 11 players who've never met each other and don't know what they are supposed to be doing. I'm sure SL made a comment in the interview he did for one of the podcasts recently - something along the lines of having several irons in the fire a year ago, that he couldn't get over the line then, but thought maybe might come to something later. Almost implied that Holden was a stop gap to get us through this season. If that was the case then I do wonder wether some of those irons are in a slightly warmer fire right now.

To play devils advocate, if you were another club and you appointed Pearson in the summer, how much of a lass would you give him because ‘Bristol City are ******* state’? I honestly don't know how we are perceived at other clubs. And those clubs might ignore our injury crisis, look at our results at the begining of the season and feel a new manager ought to be doing better. And given that this blot on Pearson's copy book means it is now four jobs since he was last an unqualified success, I'd say Pearson needs to make this work as much as we'd need him to make it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps we could get a nice fake sheik instead and have a lovely ground and stunning squad like the gas I’m thankful for having a owner like Steve. However I’ve been disappointed too. He’s got the club in a good position as being well run.

We’d have to see Rotherham and Derby winning all of their remaining games, as well as Huddersfield picking up 4 points and Blackburn & Forest doing better than us. Even if we lose all three remaining games, we’re safe. NP knows what needs to be done. These players are dreadful, a sign of poor recruitment. But we’d still have won tonight had Semenyo’s shot gone in. Give him a summer of his own recruitment.

We are very lucky to be in the position we are in, from my memory the games we have deserved to win have amounted to 7 this season, the other wins we have got majorly lucky. I can't believe we are staying up (if we do) this has been one of our luckiest ever seasons. We should be down. I know Fam and Wells get loads of abuse, a possibly legitimately (Personally I have never thought Wells was a striker, he has zero striker instinct from what I have seen, and then gets pushed out wide where e is even less effective) but the service they get is woeful. A clear out may solve it, but I can't see a team full of strangers if we buy in more players are going to cut it, next season, I fully expect us to go down If Pearson stays or goes I really do not have an opinion, but you you would expect either the defence would improve, hte attack would improve, intensity would improve or desire would improve. just one of those areas you would expect to improve if a manager really had presence, unfortunately I have not seen one of those areas improve, yes Pearson may improve that with new recruits, but if he can't get the current squad to improve just one of these areas I think, you legitimately need to ask what the can do when buying players.. this honeymoon period is his selling point and it has spoken loudly. if Lansdown hires him I will be very surprised. I think we have another 3 or 4 seasons at league 1 level coming very soon. High performance facility my arse. 27000 seater stadium gonna look great with 10k in it, our once cauldron is going to look laughable and will certainly not help us if we do descend to league 1. I am hoping we stay up next season, if we don't I see a decade or mote of struggle. I am, not sure a reset is going to help with the league we are in.

He can't change a thing other than juggle with U23's and cope with a a crippling injury hit squad. People need to put a lid on it and get a reality check. We badly need the season to end so we can start getting rid and rebuilding. We lacked spirit, effort and urgency. It doesn't matter how many injuries, or the talent available, you should always expect to deliver that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked the Bakinson goal, well worked including Nagy assist... What was Palmer doing- kinnell. If we had Wycombe's fight and spirit- we'd be a lot better off. If they had our crippling injuries I doubt that spirit would be there. We are struggling to cope and just limping/listing towards the end of the season. Mercifully there's only three games left. I for one cannot wait to see the back of this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair point, injuries like we've had would do for any side. However they seem to show real fight, surely punch above their weight- as a side down the bottom, these would be more disadvantaged with empty grounds. We are stumbling, limping etc as you say towards the end of the season. Was Holden just papering over some pretty big cracks until it went South? We had two mini Cup runs, we were in fact in outside playoff contention until January etc. Edited April 21, 2021 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless given how well we defend set pieces and their aim to keep bombing our box, I’d much rather he punched (if done well obviously)then tried a more difficult catch under pressure. Yes, i did say **** from my first & only view of it, do you have a problem with that? If you do, i genuinely couldnt give a shite....either way we lost due to a stupid penalty against Wycombe Edited April 21, 2021 by Mr Hankey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Exile Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Just popped out for an hour - did I miss anything? 93rd minute winner from Akinfenwa. Couldn't make it up! I tell you, the decision on whether to renew the season tickets gets easier by the day. Lansdown...you are running a basket-case of a club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
