RollsRoyce Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Just now, pillred said: Controversial but this is mostly Nigel Pearson's team, and according to most on here we are not playing well or are not very good, so who are we blaming? What is controversial? Any coach or manager at the club is in the hands of the recruitment team to provide options and solutions. Oh, you are trying to say that Pearson chose all of these players? James/King yes, but all of the others no. He had a final say, but it depends who is proposed to him. Same with Manning, was same with LJ. Though the owners and head of technical, said, on record, that we have a top 6 budget and changed manager because the current squad is good enough for a promotion push. They defined how we play from youth to first team, on record. Then hired someone who did not coach his sides to play in the described manner. That is not Mannings's fault either, though he should have waited for Swansea where his approach would have been more in tune. He jumped from Oxford too early to the wrong club. Our issues will remain the same until the recruitment is substantially improved, and we have a consistent approach to how the club plays football. Yet again, we have changed direction. The squad, without injuries, working to their strengths, like another 10/12 teams in this league, with some luck, and confidence, could fight for 5/6 th place. But it all has to be pointing in the right direction, and it does need luck, mainly with injuries. we are at least getting the penalties now. The team looks confused to me because they are being asked to change how we had planned to play, and for a system they were recruited to (from youth team recall) bit has now changed. So of course they are not performing (yet?) as it is a lot of change to perform mid season. This squad can play better, they did away at Hull earlier this season, where for a large part of the game, we battered them. But that would not fit your agenda, would it. But the same players and the performance was far better than today. So far. It is only half time, and much can change so we may yet see us take the game to them as we did away from home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can think of a similar shorthand for the board have no idea what they are doing and need to go feel free to tell me what it is. The failure of City to challenge and move forward, our total lack of ambition and our lack of a plan is boring. But supporters need to be united in challenging it. Week in, week out. Because up to now the owners are simply not listening. I am not prepared to criticise Manning, the malaise at our club is down to others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
