HappyClapper Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Felt like a huge night to me. Not only the way we pressed and moved the ball, but the resolute defending and the way we stood together. Also a connection with the crowd who enjoyed the boys giving it everything. Even the sending off may have helped as it really helped to foster that togetherness. Lots of fantastic performances. A brave selection that some ripped into before the game. Well done NP. Really looking forward to Sunday. COYR. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a massive difference not only on the pitch but with the fans. The extra pace in behind. The constant running off the cbs. The energy pressing quickly and not having to cover for anyone. Something I think many people have been wanting. Luton is not an easy side to out work but it is exactly what happened. No question it started from the front 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezey Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 For me the big thing I noticed tonight was the team as a unit. High fives when blocks were made, lots of communication. Passing players on clearly. We’ve looked disjointed in the past like players have never met each other before but tonight was the first time in ages I’ve thought we have a proper team on the pitch. It was epitomised by Naismith giving Scott a real rocket for losing it in midfield which led to a chance and then giving him a little cuddle and pep talk to get him to go again. There is a decent young team who could spring a few surprises this season if we get a bit of luck. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Andi Weimann has been brilliant for BCFC since he signed for us. The fact that he scoring so regularly is fantastic but is this down to NP? Why not mention Scott and Semenyo .... (also signed by Lee Johnson) Yes a win on the weekend will help the mood but please remember that NP has created a record of the longest lack of back to back wins..... and the longest ever lack of home wins so after a year and a half of poor results we get quite excited with a win. So - a great night and a good win but over the top reactions like yours invariably perpetuate the over the top reactions that we've seen after two losses and a draw. Nige has done nothing in the league so far so I dont get your "turning point" comment. Another 3 losses and ...meltdown relegation .... another 3 wins and we've won the league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are more bumps in the road to come and a lot of wheeling and dealing required if those OOC at end of next season want to move on Many managers of this level , and their egos , wouldn’t want to touch us atm , and certainly not when Pearson accepted the gig, worried that poor or mixed results would damage their reputation Not once has he whined about the restrictions , in fact he pointed out he knew what the situation was when he accepted I think he’s enjoying the challenge , and helping develop some of the young players if our previous two managers had kept a sensible and steady ship , including financially , imagine how good things would look with Semenyo , Scott and Conway bursting through 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 It’s not a turning point as such, because we played largely that well against Hull and Wigan in the first halves of those games. That’s why the reaction to performances were so ridiculous. That result tonight was always on the cards, we’ve had brilliant patterns of attacking play all season so far. You don’t take the Lead in 5 straight games by fluke. Difference tonight is we manage to get a second before being ****** over by a referee. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he scoring so regularly is fantastic but is this down to NP? Why not mention Scott and Semenyo .... (also signed by Lee Johnson) The last time he scored regularly was his very first batch of half a dozen games when he was played centre-forward…before a little while later, shunted out wide to accommodate Diedhiou as the main man. LJ saw what he could do centrally, hey, he even played him in a pseudo-attacking midfield role v Luton (3-0) and Huddersfield (5-2) where he was everywhere, but he moved him back wide again. Signed him as a striker and rarely played him there. Now, if you want to give a bit of credit, give Dean Holden some for playing Weimann as a high-flying-eight in a 5122….but he only got a small numbers of games there before his ACL. Weimann is a good player, but Nige deserves a bit of credit for the full transformation. Very churlish. for info, Johnson didn’t sign Scott or Semenyo, he was the first team head-coach, and Brian Tinnion signed both. So, you’re incorrect. 2 hours ago, Sheltons Army said: I understand the OP and I do think it was a very good time to take 3 points , with the performance an added bonus But it’s not a turning point , we weren’t crap before tonight , or a much better side now 100% right….but those who knee-jerk based purely on results (especially defeats and even draws) will never earn. There is a strong overlap with those who said Massengo and Scott couldn’t possibly play as a CM pairing tonight, despite there actually being recent evidence they could do just that! We are very much a work in progress and I foresee some bumps and setbacks through the season and probably for another 12-18 months yet yep, just like Nige, don’t get too up with a win, don’t get too down with a defeat. But it’s funny, that the knee-jerkers after a defeat are having a go at the knee-jerkers after a win.

I think you’re right about me classing it as a turning point. I was feeling a little giddy with the performance. The forward play, defensive resilience and togetherness was something I haven’t seen for a quite a while. I am very pro Pearson and think he is turning round the tanker. It has taken longer than I hoped, but last night gave me a glimpse of what he is trying to produce for us on a consistent basis. The intensity and energy in our play reminded me of his Leicester team. We are not there yet, and there will be bumps for sure, but I felt like I had glimpsed into our future and it was brilliant. I am hopeful that performances like that will help turn some of the naysayers. I may also have had a few beers.

Good post too As I said , I can see what you were aiming at with Turning point I think there’s been spells in all games this season which has been bright and promising , just turning that into sustained periods or over a whole 90 min performance has been missing Last night was close to, or at least on its way to a 90 min performance , until thrown astray /confused by the red card And 10 men Theres disagreements about how we managed the 10 men scenario, but personally, I felt we did it well / competently and actually went down in the plus column regarding the performance on the night. I just hope that supporters understand that the performance is unlikely to just suddenly become the norm, certainly not for a while yet. I believe we will progress and the spells in and across games will come more often but I don’t think it’s an easy transition to that level, but I really believe Pearson is producing a core and culture at the Club I don’t think he’s a messiah or a tactical genius , but I do think he is a demander of standards and professionalism that should serve the Club well , post him. I think he’s a ‘players’ manager (At least the ones who are one the bus’) and his core strength I’ve said before , the fact that he has Andi Weimann (The best ‘professional’ we have IMHO, and one whose played at the top and an International) is totally one the bus’ and producing the best form of his career is a great sign IMO To some extent I understand the frustration and impatience to progress at this level, (Maybe it just doesn’t come as a surprise or so impactive as the decades drift on for some of us !) but it’s really not a simple task , we’ve never been ‘ a force ‘ at this level especially with the squad a, financial situation and Club Culture he inherited. I still believe he was absolutely the right appointment at the time , for the job that needed doing (one which many Head coaches / managers would have ducked) What Steve and Jon , and Richard Gould should be doing is building a Club behind Nigels tenure , with a plan for the club , post NP People like Tins in the right post is a good start , and importance for continuity (It appears that Tins has a very good relationship and respect for NP which is very much a positive) This is not a period of ‘wasted opportunity’ but a rebuild whilst conducting financial surgery , It remains as frustrating as ever being a City fan , but if sceptics can just take a few deep breaths and enjoy the good bits at present , long term I truly believe they will see the benefits COYR 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Good posts @HappyClapperand @Sheltons Army As you both say, there have been positives in every game so, unfortunately in most / all there have been negatives…but we’ve played some good stuff in each. It’s about doing that more throughout the 90 on a more regular basis. Last night really clicked, but it is very unlikely to be the “new norm”. We have a group of players that in the main aren’t renowned for their consistency. In some cases it’s the youngsters who are more consistent than some of the senior players, which is unusual. Its a bit of a ride, a bumpy one too…but I see the intention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTIB Supporter 6.2k Location: Bristol BS8 Posted yesterday at 08:54 We are the car windshield travelling the M4 at 70mph . Cardiff are the unfortunate fat juicy bug flying straight at us about to get splattered. We are unstoppable and will leave more teams in our wake in our journey to the top. Another easy game. Roasted welsh lamb with gurt mint Source for Sunday supper. SO @swanker-- what was YOUR prediction or can you only sing when you're trying to save face???

It’s about doing that more throughout the 90 on a more regular basis. Last night really clicked, but it is very unlikely to be the “new norm”. We have a group of players that in the main aren’t renowned for their consistency. In some cases it’s the youngsters who are more consistent than some of the senior players, which is unusual. Its a bit of a ride, a bumpy one too…but I see the intention. @Davefevs Maybe this is the new norm? Another 2-0 at home and another good performance. We can only hope but the next few games up to the international break, which include both Norwich and Burnley away, will really show how far we have come - or not.
