ProfitInMyPocket Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Be careful what you wish for. I didn't like what I saw tonight but full well know who sits on top of the Bristol Sport 'empire' hasn't made many decisions which have progressed this football club positively. Let's say NP does get the boot and Gould leaves, who is making the decision for the new manager? If it's the egg chasing fanatic and his art student son again we might as well write our notices and book our trips to Shrewsbury and Fleetwood in the division below now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watkins1983 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 That was a hard watch tonight. Semenyo missing that shot wide when clean through to get a goal back when 2-0 down and then blazing over early second half. After getting some goals he has gone back to having zero composure infront of goal again. Even when 3-0 down the urgency of getting the ball forward was totally non existent, slow ball out the flanks giving Lincoln plenty of time to get their shape back and let’s be honest, defend pretty easily against us second half Lose to Watford on sat and I think that might be it for Pearson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Totally unacceptable. There are bad performances, and then some. I didn't have a problem per se with the starting line up but I expected more, certainly from the senior players such as Klose and Weimann and from those who see themselves as having a bright international future like Semenyo whose first half performance barely rated a 2. If he thinks he's playing not to get injured before the world cup I wouldn't have him in the Ghana squad at present. We improved once Conway was introduced but he and Wells should of been on together at half time (if not after 15 minutes when we were two down).. Out of the Carabao Cup and now 20th in the league with Watford on Saturday the players shouldn't expect time off for the World Cup but should get their asses on the training pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite exciting seeing Conway and Scott absolutely dominate in the second half Looks like Klose has transformed into Tony Dinning mark 2 (probably about mark 222 in reality!). Dasilva put in a typical performance, and I'm sure everyone understands that Sykes's early performances were exceptional by his standards and we've been seeing his more usual performances for a while. King and Martin proved why they don't usually get starts. I thought Joe Williams was pretty poor as well. But at least he was trying. And Antonie seems to be trying to play his way out of the World Cup with park level finishing. I wanted to see the youngsters in to at least find out where are with them. (I don't really know what else people wanted Pearson to do. Don't make mne laugh with all that 'cup run' rubbish,) Low, Kadji and Bajic didn't show that they were good enough to be starting first team games. Low and Bajic got very nervous and made more mistakes, not helped by booing them though was it? Well done Tommy Conway. One of the five or so players in the squad that can be trusted to perform.

t_b Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Nigel made the point he put Andy King at CB because … (his long silent pause, not mine). Said the senior players didn’t protect Low, basically Also first half in one of the breaks he was giving Sykes a right rollocking, so clearly he was another who just isn’t doing it for Nigel at the moment.

I'm affraid we are a selling club we have a history of selling our best players Brownhill Webster Reid Bryan in recent years That was under Ashton, it was also to fund signings that at the time really made a statement. I see Pearson as trying to get through this season, then he can release a large number of players who he wants to replace but cannot sell, Bentley will most likely be gone, that's one big wage replaced by max which means Pearson can sign a free agent and offer a good wage, there will be other players but most of all the wages freed up will allow Pearson to make the signings he needs to move us forward. As you've said, we have to sell to buy, but I don't think Pearsons plans for us is to buy success, it's to develop it and that takes time. If we were to sell Semenyo, Scott, Conway etc we'd be in a worse place than we are now, we'd also have no future as we'd have sold our biggest talents with others leaving due to ended contracts. We'll already take a hit with Massengo if he's not sold in January, so I see Pearson aiming to get to January, sell Massengo and maybe bring in a few players on short contracts to fill spots that he couldn't in the summer. I wouldn't be surprised to see Semenyo go if we're offered a good price too. We're not shot of strikers so selling Semenyo when our best duo are Wells and Conway wouldn't be a huge loss as we can't play the way Semenyo is suited to, we just don't have the players in the midfield that would feed him the passes he thrives on and that play to his strengths. All in all today was a bad result but so far this season we've already had Max show he can be our starting goalkeeper, we've already seen that Conway can start as a striker, we've also seen Scott go from strength to strength, they're all youth that have been developed. just because Low and Kadji haven't shone in their first games it doesn't mean our youth system isn't the future as it's developing enough successful players that it is worth putting the time and effort into. Pearson is using the youth, he is trying to build a balanced and cohesive team but that doesn't always happen in a season or two, sometimes you have to run down contracts of players who aren't right for the club and then replace them with players who do. My biggest fear right now is people will have a knee jerk reaction to a piss poor result during a period where we have a lot of players out and undo the shaping Pearson has been doing. Come next season if we started with Max in goal, a right back of the quality that Pearson wants (or Kane if he gets to that place), a new CM of quality I think we'd have a strong starting line up, I also think he'd be able to bring in depth if as many players as we expect are going to be let go. I think January will be telling for us, I'm also thinking once we have some of our players back we'll get back on track, however if we sack Pearson now we'll just be hamstringing ourselves, having to rebuild for a new managers vision and it won't move any quicker and could be far worse. I guess time will tell but should Pearson go tomorrow I can't see any excitement in the near future, we'd just struggle with a squad built around one vision with a new man in charge with a different vision and plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else for miles around. And it’s not a rugby city, it’s a football city. The attendances prove that. I hate that I support us. My son sent me that message after Cardiff dumped us out of the play offs all those years ago. Yet there we were tonight still watching that crock of shit. i struggle to remember a worse 45mins than the first half tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. let's hope we get good news in the morning on the poor guy Alex Fletcher only 23 years old. I'm sure he's in good care and I'm sure all fans of BCFC would like to wish him well at this moment in time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt very much he would be interested in coming here at the moment. Coventry are a mess. Despite that he has performed miracles. They had to sell Hyam on the cheap for cash flow reasons. Apparently they were days away from administration. Their owners will not invest any money and won't make any money available for transfers. There is uncertainty surrounding the stadium. It won't be long until Cov cash in on their better players and Robins won't recieve the funds from that. The job here is very similar but for different reasons. His wages would probably be doubled here. We have the stability of infrastructure and ownership. If things improved then he would be given funds. I think he'd find it hard to turn down.

We are now an established Championship club with a great stadium and training ground. So whilst things may momentarily be shit, it's not as shit as it used to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Lincoln's 1st goal was an excellent strike, the 2nd and 3rd were dreadful by us. Damage was done early, we had an opportunity tonight... 1) Either getting deeper into the Cup or a plum tie in Round 4. (Watch Lincoln get one). 2) A good performance and display, reckon some newcomers or lapsed fans tonight. Well none of them will be likely to return. 3) Was nice to see some young players get their debut, but how many took their chance. More damningly, how many senior players certainly in respect of those returning to the side took theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
