Jerseybean Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 We were very poor today and made them look decent. Back to bad habits of not winning 50/50 challenges, giving the ball away cheaply and rarely having good options when we had the ball. Alex Scott came out with some credit and I thought Pring and Atkinson looked OK when they came on. We are fortunate that the relegation slots are already booked as this level of performance would normally be aligned with relegation. Despite today’s performance and last weeks showing I remain a huge supporter of NP and look forward to him continuing to turn us around. Await the OTIB meltdown, which sadly will contain content directed at individuals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying and, if you looked at today's game in isolation, you'd have no argument from me. But maybe the manager is looking at the big picture, trying to balance winning games now with taking the long view and find out which of our youngsters will be our future. We are safe from relegation, after all. And when else is he going to have the chance to play the likes of Bell in a meaningful fixture, anywhere in the team never mind in his preferred position up front? He's attempting an unenviable juggling act, trying to square the circle of results now and developing youngsters at the same time. And today's defeat wasn't just down to Bell surely? But in isolation, I agree Bell at full back is madness. Was at the Cov game and saw enough in that to decide I'd personally never play him there again. But his selection is about more than winning any given game at the moment. Bloody rubbish result but there we are. Shit result shit season but we ain't going down.

Numero Uno Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 People on here know I support Pearson but today was unacceptable. We lost to a pile of ******* shit and it’s on him and his game playing with the Lansdown’s at the moment. He needs to realise, and ******* quickly too, that people don’t pay £500 plus for a season ticket to watch kids playing out of their depth and getting totally humiliated,out of position, just so he can prove a point to John Lansdown. The club is a ******* circus at the moment. Needs new ownership. If the club asked me to renew my season ticket tomorrow I would tell them to kiss my arse. I would suggest that Pearson stops playing childish ******* games to massage his ego and puts fans first………for a long awaited change at this complete embarrassment of a football club. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgy Red Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I've been on the fence regarding Pearson for quite a while now and whilst he inherited a pretty poor squad, you only need to look at the likes of Luton, Millwall, Preston and even Huddersfield to see what can be achieved with an average bunch of players. Our recruitment this summer needs to be spot on and he needs to start next season in a positive fashion, otherwise i fear this could end badly (again). Our slight upturn in form this season coincided with Semenyo's return around Christmas and i still don't see a particular style or pattern of play that he is trying to implement?

KegCity Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 James and Williams don’t work together. Far too defensive and neither look to progress the ball up the pitch. Needed HNM to be that box to box midfielder and drive at the Birmingham defence. Hoped Scott would do it but he ended up letting the game pass by him unfortunately. Dont understand how we’ve regressed so much in the space of three games. Look clueless going forward after we’d appeared to turn the corner.
