SecretDave Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I think the next 2 matches are vital. We need at least 4 points against the bottom 2 teams. If we lose both, I seriously think that Pearson might have to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irobinson Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 If we lose Saturday and don't score - Morris will sack him - and who say that's unfair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcfc10 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 After these 2 games and we perform badly i wont blame mel for sacking him simple the clubs bigger than pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajstrawb Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I think at the time of Pearson appointment, we all agreed that we had great footballers, who played great football, and we were just missing that 'fight' to go with it. It seemed that Pearson was brought in to add that 'fight' to compliment our style, however so far all we have seen is our footballing identity thrown clean out the window and the least fight shown since our record breaking prem attempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kevin Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 33 minutes ago, BranstonRam said: What you've got to think of, is if Pearson got sacked tomorrow , who would you like to come in? Schteve Bruce? Don't think he would improve us to be honest, we have swapped and changed too many times to know what specific manager could bring us hope as it was.. Another question I have is, has Chris Powell bought anything to the club at all? The initial reaction when I heard the appointment of Nigel/Chris is we have two managers and two seperate perspectives on our play with championship experience. But we just look so so poor at the moment, square pegs in round holes. I mentioned the seemingly lack of cohesion amongst the management team in another thread ,just a gut feeling but it doesn't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeram Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Sack him, but who will want to come here? Maybe Mel should fire himself too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I don't quite buy in to this lack of passion from the players. Yes there have been some poor performances But can you honestly say any of the following ? Keogh doesn't sweat Blood Olson has pulled out of tackles christie goes in to hiding Hughesy hasn't tried every trick in his locker Anya is a lazy so and so Vydra has been unwilling to run Bryson is just cruising Pearce doesn't challenge for headers collectively they playing badly. But individually ? And in answer to the OP ... NO ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 No, under no circumstances must MMs finger go anywhere near the trigger. If he has given NP free reign to do as he sees fit then he has to have the conviction to see it through. Changing managers now would see us in a very messy position in my opinion.

We are a championship see going through a transitional period. A transitional period of his own making, and one where you would think there would be some sort of plan to stop what is happening right now. Wasn't Wassall's reign a sort of transitional period? Where he tried to get the team back to playing fast flowing football as opposed to the slow possession football that Clement had us playing? I don't remember your call for patience then. Your hypocrisy stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Dawn Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 34 minutes ago, Zurich Ram said: And the utterly laughable call that seems to be gathering momentum with "Angry from Allestree" or "Mardarse from Mickleover" on some of the phone-ins and post-match analysis, is the "get Wassall in now and McLaren at the end of the season" call - what utter, utter twaddle. I remember the Fester fans, 3 years ago were calling for exactly the same thing - "get rid of Pearson", "no tactics", "doesn't know his best team" etc. etc. I'm sure Mel has every faith in Nigel Pearson to turn things around and restore confidence and instil resilience into this squad. We get the same thing on our matchtalk. Why do I give a feck what Nigel from Newark or Bill from Broxtowe has to say about Forests start to the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 The time to change a manager is just before a transfer window, not just after one. Unless we get some absolute hammering or lose 4 or 5 on the bounce he has until Christmas to show at a bare minimum the following factors We are out of the bottom third of the table. We are scoring goals, As a guide averaging more than a goal a game for a run of games. A pattern of play is emerging. Now they aren't high expectations, but we look a long way away from that at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 FFS!!! This is what's wrong with our club, too many spoilt brats, throwing their toys out the pram cus we're not top of the league with a goal difference of +27. Different managers bring different methods, and we won't get any where with wanting to ditch one before October just because everything isn't hunky dory... Let's face it, everyone would be a lot more positive if Vydra had stuck his chance away at the end on Saturday or we'd not conceded in injury time. Fine margins...

Tony Le Mesmer Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Pearson has to have a full season. If that season is jam packed with performances like we've been having with no improvement in results or in the manner of our play then I couldn't argue against it. Whether we get relegated or win the league from here on in and whether we play like Barcelona or Blyth Spartans doesn't matter. One full season is fair and reasonable before any action is taken IMO.

niram Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 The way i see it, and not based on last night at all because you cant fault the young players at all they looked lively when they came on, but pearson should never have been recruited, he has ruined our club. We do not have the players and we have not built a strong squad for the last 3 years to be playing the style of football that nigel wants. The 442 football he is trying to get us to play does not suit one of our players let alone the chemistry of 11 on the pitch. we play well when we play fast paced football and im sorry but i was significantly more enjoying our football under wassal and im sure the players where too. 442 is so so outdated and easy to unlock #bringback433 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Players were looking to press last night but Pearson was telling them not to. They had no idea what they were supposed to be doing. I had no idea what formation we were even playing, it was an absoloute mess. Reminded me of that Brentford game were Bent saved our blushes. The next transfer window needs to be a big one.

BathRam72 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Let's sack Nigel and get in another manager!!!!! Brilliant thinking. Then that manager can rip the team apart to build his own team, that will take a couple of months at least and when the results don't go his way in the transition period, let's sack him as well.

Because I do. If you want great football and a nearly team then it is fine, but if you can't convert that play into a winning philosophy that will get us over the promotion line then what is the point?
