Burton Match Thread

[tylesta]

This team will never play together in the league. Ever.

it's a squad though and most of the starting line up will play again, more than half will start a game together!

not going to be the same 11 week in week out.

I think it's only you who have used the word 'crisis'. Anyone who thinks losing a football match is a crisis is either completely incapable of reason and perspective or Mr Escobar

[tylesta]

If ever we were to get rid of Pearson, these are the only two I'd accept.

Long way off that though, and even a defeat tonight wouldn't do it. QPR were dumped out at home by Port fackin' Vale the season they won the league.

reading did.

Who has said we are brilliant, who has actually ignored the problems? Almost every person I have seen praise our performance pointed out we need to hit the net and defend better.

For the record, so long as we stay up and the owners don't pull the plug, if we play like we did for the first 15 and last 45 against Charlton for the rest of the season (and it sounds like we made a great start towards that against Blackburn), I don't care if we lose.

Watching Leicester at the Valley last Tuesday was actually exciting...how strange is that? Other than six weeks under Sven I can't ever remember being anywhere near as excited watching City play.

We want you to at least wait until we've actually gone out to Burton before you use it as evidence to suggest Pearson is crap (and that, though you won't admit it, you want him sacked).

But whether we lose or not is irrelevant. I'm not as fickle as that.

I've listed my concerns elsewhere.

Can anybody nice tell me how St Ledger and Whitbread looked in the first half please?

[Jace]

Come on and say hello MrandMrsF - you gave us all a good giggle, so do come back !! God knows we've all been at our wits end following this team at some point ..... and your thread became one of the funniest collection of comments I've read in ages !

Think we might struggle justifying this to Mrs F tonight lets just hope and pray its washing night

[kingfox]

Here come the trolls

So you'd accept playing well and getting relegated?

SSL looked a bit goofy and ZW looked like a surfer dude ???

You've done nothing but moan since Saturday on here so don't pretend you're taking notice of the positives - you've rarely acknowledged anything positive at all, or at least are completely determined to relegate it so far beneath the obvious negatives everybody can see (I.e. We're losing) that they become lost.

It's a shame because your posts are actually readable on the whole. Just a shame they're so stubbornly negative.

So even though I have my own opinion based on my own observations, which I think you'll agree are generally reasoned, cohesive and sound inasmuch as they are not the rumblings of a madman, I'm stubborn because I won't abandon my own position and opinion just because you and others think otherwise? That doesn't sound stubborn.

Have it on good authority that England U21 scouts are at our game watching the following, Waghorn, Moore(bench), Drinkwater(bench?)

St Ledger looked like this

And Whitbread looked like this

Yeah, you're probably right - but they made us all feel a bit better about a crap result !

[Babylon]

Just reading through at half time - how can anyone justify this?? It's a very poor display by the members of the squad that are on the bench and pushing for first team places. This isn't a load of youth teamers we're playing.

Nobody is read it properly.

Pretty much everything required for the game of Football then.

Errrrr no.

[Fox92]

Today has just got worse; Sheffield Wednesday are winning

[Salieri]

Come on Nige, stop fvcking about and get Nuge and King on.

[Carter The Boss]

Hope the 2nd half is better. 1st half was frustrating and I've got Man vs Food on in the background and its made me hungry for chicken.

[foxsake123]

haha i am bereft of ribs.

[whoareyaaa]

great...

You previously said, when justifying why you wanted Pearson out, that you'd prefer to lose and see good football. May I ask whether Saturday's game has converted you?

[Kitchandro]

Of course it's relevant, we play to win.

If it wasn't relevant why have you waited until we were one down to make these negative comments in this thread? Plenty of other threads you could be negative in if this result is irrelevant.

0-2.
