I could have left school at 15 or 16 but stayed on to take my O Levels and A Levels, then went into industry. Strangely enough, I didn't have to climb up chimneys or un-jam looms in my first job.

I like the idea of being a "knocker-upperer". In the days before alarm clocks, a man used to walk the streets with a massive stick and bash on windows to wake people up for work!

Just to to wake one bloke up and the rest of the day is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestKentRam Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Players or Manager? Neither. I blame the 'marine' training kit that is the same colour as the 3rd kit. The second I saw NP etc wearing it as the official training kit I thought how are they going to command respect in that insipid colour. He should do a Sir Alex with the infamous grey kit blamed for Man U's poor form in 1996, with every match won after it was banned for the rest of the season.

Warning this recording may cause depression and could make the listener suicidal. Thank God there is no tall buildings near me I might have jumped off one. If his team talks are anything like that I hope they take the players bootlaces away from them afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Pearson has a chance to clear out those he needs to and get those he wants in we'll be ok. Well there will be no more ins and outs before January. Dread to think where we will be by then. What have you seen to back up your view that we will be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramshankered Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Anyone remember when Mac started here, he was asked why it didn't work for him at Forest? He answered that he tried to change too much in too short a space of time. Can't help but think Pearson's fallen into the same trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have you seen to back up your view that we will be ok? Only too many half-hearted players or ones who I'm afraid have had their time at Derby and need a fresh challenge. When I said things will be ok I meant when we get some in who want to play for us. It's a big overhaul though I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine trying to turn a Billy Davies side into our Wembley side in the space of a summer. Makes total sense now why he says he's worried about us because we're trying to change style of play.

Pearl Ram Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It may indeed be a big overhaul but what I'd like to know is, was this discussed at Pearson's interview ? Was he given Carte Blanche to try this ? Or did he agree to the conditions and thought well you can poke that, it's my way or the highway ? If it's the former, I believe a statement from up on high should have been issued to inform us of the new direction because I, possibly mistakenly, was under the impression any new coach/manager had to follow a blueprint set down by the board, ie to stick to the principles laid down in the aforementioned blueprint. Then if it transpires Pearson was given permission to do what he wants, give him enough rope, if he's deviated from what was agreed, he's got to be down the road.

Works as well, but shows a much more accurate picture of just how much we outworked. Plus we all saw it with our own eyes. Don't tell me "I can't pull the wool over fans eyes" Nigel, that's exactly what you're trying to do, I saw us out work them with my own eyes.

Is that due to the managers methods, or are they simply bad eggs? This is the question that many folks would like an answer to. Probably the same reason they didn't at times seem to want to be there under Clement, and certainly didn't want to be there playing at home to Hull under Wassall...
