RedM Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 13 minutes ago, Barrs Court Red said: Is that true? I thought that’s one of the reason snake and the gang used to push out Pearson? It is true. At least 2 of our defenders who played today were together in Spain at a music festival, with at least one injured player. This can be found on their social media posts (info from a younger family member, I don't follow them ). If these 3 were away no doubt the rest of them were. I'm not going to bother to search the info out but I guarantee they were on a break for at least some of the time our Internationals were away training and playing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gol Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 31 minutes ago, BristolGit said: Can’t believe the Pearson tripe is coming back out. Do people forget the kind of football we played under him… irrespective of the players. BORING Not all of it was boring, the football with WSM upfront was good as it was the couple of months before we sold Semenyo. It’s also worth noting Pearson had to play with freebies and youth team players. We made circa £40m off 3 such players (Scott Semenyo and Conway)there was also Vyner O’Leary and Pring who are still main players in this team (though all looked better under Pearson). By the end of his reign we had one of the best defences in the league and needed a bit of the money he generated in sales to improve the attack l. He wasn’t given it, Manning was and destroyed the defence in doing so 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare him to Twine on the other side, he plays the same backward passes. Manning has some thinking to do, this shape / set up isn't near to working. Twine anonymous , Bird & Knight (and you can add Sykes) shadows of the players they were and no support to the forward. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great influence for a squad with quite a few midfielders 25 and under too. Great influence. Weimann is the one I'm with the greatest respect struggling to find a clear role for even though he is a consumate pro and a great influence.

ProfitInMyPocket Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Don't worry guys we're going "back to basics" this week in training even though apparently the players were going to get grilled on how to defend during the international break after the Derby defeat. 0-3. 0-3.

Swede Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I just think the coach reflects his team tepid, baffling, mumbling & meandering and going nowhere. Chases a No.10 all summer and plays him out wide, astonishing. I honestly think he would get away with these tactics at League 1 & 2 level but not Championship level. The coach we should've got was in the other dugout. Remember his Brum side took us apart early last season. Losing matches is part and parcel of the game, I accept that, but its the manner of defeat which is hard to take. Two 3:0 defeats is pretty chastening. I really can't see where he can recover. Remember, we have a relatively easier start in this league against teams we should be beating and getting points in the bag before we hit the Burnley & Leeds buffers especially as we are aiming for "top six" Ironically, losing next week against his former side could see him sacked, mercifully. He is way out of his depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
