Just left the ground. An absolute mess of a performance. Team selection, tactics, style of play, attitude - all simply unacceptable. 

And with us heading for the bottom three by close of play Saturday, it is not an anomaly.

A lot of our fans are sleepwalking at the moment. I'm afraid Nigel and the players are underperforming badly and with a month break and January (where we are likely to lose personnel and players) on it's way, it's likely things are going to get worse before they get better.

Jesus wept you can’t be this thick surely. Shouldn’t have to spoon feed you. I never said it’s ALL his fault but funny enough, being a MANAGER means you MANAGE the team. So when things don’t go right, yes the players take some responsibility but so does the MANAGER. 

Wow.

If he played Williams from the start and he got crocked everyone would be going "We've got a promising youngster in Kadji on the bench what the hell didn't he play him in a meaningless cup game? He's absolutely clueless this was the perfect chance to give the kids a run out and show what they're worth" etc.

I think that Williams gets crocked so often that , in reality, no one would be surprised. 

However. when we lose at home 3-1 to Lincoln bloody City having always looked like the poorer side then everyone is going to have an opinion. Mine being right, of course.

It really shows though just how threadbare our squad is and what constraints Pearson is working in.

As soon as we even pick a few players or change it up it goes to shit - it's all very well saying change it up (and broadly people seemed pretty happy when it was announced) but if this is what happens then what can he do?

Players like Low and Kadji are our backups at the moment in some positions.

Poor team selection

Poor result

At least 7 of the starting line up are L1 standard.

Why are we so surprised.

Bad management today.

He got it wrong and we have paid the price.

Chis Martin & Andy King in any starting line up is just asking for trouble
 

We have a poor squad we know but then why leave players on the bench for a game we wanted win.

Most players have a month off after Saturday so why rest them.

We look like a bit of a joke tonight.

Gutted really and just so sad we are in this position.

I just don't even know what the solution is. 

Well it’s hard to believe that carrying on the way we are is the answer.

Pearson is simply not delivering and don’t give me all this ‘no money to spend’ stuff.  He knew he had to generate money to be able to spend, and he didn’t do so.  A lot of managers are in that position.  Just what has he achieved since being here?  I would have loved to see him succeed, but enough is enough.  We are on a downward trajectory that has to be reversed, or we are in League One playing the Gas.

Would you get rid & if so who do you get in . There’s a few on here who shout sack him , Pearson out etc , but haven’t got the mental capacity to give a well thought out explanation on who they’d get in & why.

And you can guarantee that if he does go, the ones who've been screaming loudest for it to happen will be repeating it with the next one, whoever it may be, within a couple of months.

Can’t back nige anymore if we lose sat he’s got to go . He’s had long enough to sort it out I don’t have faith in him keeping us up  

Any suggestions Lakeside? Is there a particular name or type of manager you'd like to see? What would She/he/everything in between, need to bring to effect change?

You'll just have to wait and see.

The clue is that for all your unwavering support for Nige and all those who equally feel you are increasingly delusional- none us buggers have a say either way.

BCFC is not a democracy, it's an autocracy.

Whether we like it or not we are the talk of the soccer internet....the side that lost to Chippenham,  now stuffs a Championship side!!   We are an embarrassment.  I am not going to go over the top about Pearson, but this is just yet another symptom of his tactical naivety?  An opportunity to boost the confidence of our team and draw a Premiership side has now been squandered?      The league is the priority, but c'mon, 1-3 to Lincoln is beyond sad?  My problem is, if, .......IF we survive in the Championship, I just DO not trust Pearson to rebuild the side for season 23-24, he should be thanked and compensated and told to move on?   We need a quality coach who knows how to motivate, how to set up a team, and how to get the best out of our players?  I am completely fed up with Pearson, and although i sympathise with all the financial constraints etc........he is not moving our side forward, and I will be fascinated to see who he picks on Saturday?

You're making a number of assumptions. Those being that teams wanted to buy our players and that our owners were willing to sell them. 

A new manager would still have to work under the exact same constraints as Pearson is having to.

Some good news: we won’t be in the bottom three for the World Cup break. Wigan play Blackpool on Saturday. 

I think we could be. Wigan and Blackpool draw, West Brom win, we lose by six goals or more - bottom three.

Who ever comes in whenever that is. I’m sure you’ll be ready to character assassinate him as soon as it goes tits up

Pearson isn’t making the best use of the resources available to him and increasingly the players are looking demoralised and are not performing.  There is no real sign of the situation turning around and for progress to be made.  We can stick with Pearson, sure, but we risk relegation if we do, and relegation would be disastrous for us.

As to who we get in, I’m sure there would be no shortage of applicants and there may well be talented candidates in lower divisions worth looking at.  Preston don’t seem to be doing so badly with Ryan Lowe, who wasn’t considered good enough for us a not long ago.

Sadly, I find it hard to make a case for Pearson to stay now.

NP has to take a look back at early season- starting front line and the way Martin was held back until being subbed on late - our points dropped in the early games were down to shite officials not poor play. 
Conway has to start as does Wells - Martin, James and King just don’t cut it, sorry to say Semenyo needs to sharpen up before he gets a start again!

SL. must now accept he has failed, and failed badly.

if Williamson can walk then so can and should SL

I'd rather we found someone to cover our eye watering losses to the tune of £10m+ every year before he does personally... We're in some serious shit otherwise!

You’re probably right. But at least today’s 80 year old city fans can at least look back on time in the top division playing - and occasionally beating - the best in the country. Currently I have next to nothing.

It was three years of struggle, mate. And one year finishing 13th. A lot of losing and drawing, and not scoring enough. And disappointing crowds, that moaned too much.

Loads of scrapping though ....

It is just possible a fresh perspective different tactics and team selection might just improve us, let's be frank here at the moment there is only one way we are going and that would be a disaster what have we got to lose?

I no longer care.  He has been a disaster for the club as a good number of fans on here recognise.

He has managed the club extremely poorly.  Time to sell up.

i miss good old Harry Dolman.  Never expected to write that

Come on- you can do better than that!

Well.... maybe not!

And for the record: I'll donate £100 to a charity of your choice if you can quote me where I made a post in which I  assassinated NP's character or any other Manager. Pretty much from the get go, I have been unconvinced of Nige's ability to improve the team and unconvinced by the majority of his performances, his game management and his substitutions. And his results as Manager of BCFC speak for themselves.

I would say we are very likely to lose to Watford. I would take a point but if we get a hammering and the application is like the first half today then I am with you he needs to walk.

You are nothing but a constant negative *****. Never on here when we win. If Pearson goes you’ll soon find fault in the next manager & it’s rinse & repeat with ***** like you. **** off , your opinion means nothing

We've got the "Pearson Out"-ers here, the "Lansdown Out"-ers are rearing their heads as well now, I'm expecting the "Semenyo is not a striker" thread to get bumped any minute - vultures circling for the slightest hint of trouble to repeat themselves endlessly!

If only it was Vyner who made that mistake not Low and we'd really be rocking here tonight
