Wolves away post match

[seenitall]

Those calling for NP's head have obviously learnt NOTHING in from our last 2/3 seasons. We need stability, not hiring and firing managers. Realistically, if NP was sacked before December, what is a new manager going to do? Emergency loans? Well that worked well last time didn't it.

Pearson is the right man. Sometimes you play badly and win, sometimes you play well and lose, unfortunately we can't win every game as much as we all want to win. STOP. OVER-REACTING!

Is that the same stability we utilised with David Pleat and Peter Taylor? I like it, it means even if you lose 4 out of 5 there's no danger of losing your job - wonder if my job would be safe if I was crap 80% of the time???

[purpleronnie]

so you think its fair to sack managers after a few games?

[Corky]

Only if there are no signs of improvement. Taylor and Sousa were just appalling, and there were no signs of getting better.

At the moment I still see glimpses of moving up the table. But he's under major pressure no doubt, as the next man will be.

[ashfosse]

1) no cutting edge up front..toothless

2) defending set pieces...in this case lack of

3) physical presence in the midfield..king and DD looked rather lightweight, especially compared to doumbia who ran the show first half.

4) not taking chances

5) giving the ball away, at some points it was laughable.

positives though...marshall and knockaert looked dangerous. second half Morgan once again turned into the beast and DD pulled the strings. kasper making an absolute wonder save.....oh and konch take a boo son.

stop blaming the players and manager, its our fault for supporting leicester.

It's not though is it? He should have gone after last season and I said so at the time.. he has proved he can't manage high profile players who could have made the difference, the players he can actually work with are simply not good enough to push for promotion. We well truly messed up by bringing him back into this situation.

But 5 games into a season isn't enough time to analyse somebody's performance?! That'd be like somebody judging your performance after an hour at work on a Monday morning - which is probably less constructive than the rest of the week.

I'm not saying lets wait around for another 10 years and be content with that, but being trigger happy in the past has done sod all to our promotion chances - lets try a different approach.

Also, this comparison to "my job" is an absolutely ridiculous argument.

No - I would have kept the last one and not even employed this one at all - having said that, if you buy a duffer, it is a tough call to know what to do - better would have been to get a good one in the first place. Would City have been better if they had sussed Taylor after 20 games and binned him for say Sam Allardyce? - the answer is clearly yes but they didn't and we have never recovered - this guy NP has lost his sheen - I hope if comes back soon if we are gonna stick with him, because putting Waghorn on when you are losing a match has to be astoundingly the worst decision I have seen for ever......not Waggy's fault but the lad is poor right now and in a game where a bit of confidence might have helped (Knocky anyone?) putting lad who has about 8 minutes (poor) football under his belt in the past 2 years suggests a managerial meltdown - but I might be wrong

100% home win record 0% away record

The way we are going if the trend continues we will get 69 points which won't make the playoffs which is where we want to be at a minimum imo.

I know, but if you were an ambulance driver and made some of the trash decisions Nige has today, were would we be (and they earn nowhere near a million a year!!)

So not 5 games and not 10 years - when????

[Leicesterpool]

Peter Taylor wasn't bad in his first season, i would say towards the end of 2000-01 going into the start 2001-02 season he seemed clueless. Sousa was simply just a clown, hadn't really done enough to get the job in the first place. On Nigel himself he's an excellent football manager, he did an excellent job with taking leicester back to league one and establishing leicester a top six championship team but is this furthest he can go, he took Hull just outside the play offs and when he left them they we're sitting around sixth sitting in the play offs. My point is maybe Nigel is just an average mid table championship manager.

I like Nigel at times, but is problem is he can try to be too clever, like today bringing on Waghorn when every leicester fan was shouting for Futacs. I hate when people say he's clueless, if he was clueless then how come he got us into league one in style and reached the play offs the following season.

The point i'm getting to is simple, this is the furthest Pearson's is going to take us.

[foxinsocks]

Yes only five games - but the way they play comes from the instructions given... if he is not the right one... then best to address it asap - I hope they are sounding out candidates right now!

[MattyFromLE]

You're making a complete fool of yourself. Nige didn't make any bad decisions?! Nige didn't decide that Konchesky wouldn't follow his man, neither did he decide that De Laet would stand and watch Stearman score, neither did he decide that Waggy would hit the post - who in fact did very well to make the space for himself to get a decent shot in.

Your arguments are pathetic. You really can't compare a football managers job to a sodding ambulance drivers job can you? Why do I feel like I'm wasting my time trying to convince you that we have to be patient - gotta give him until Christmas at the very earliest and I would still think that is a knee-jerk reaction.

[RowlattsFox]

There are so many managerial geniuses after the match, with the benefit of hindsight. Lets be honest the starting team today is what the majority of this forum would have gone far, the only real debate was whether Knockaert started instead of Dyer. Yet people are now questioning why we continue with Vardy and Moore.

Up until now Vardy and Moore have done very little wrong and both deserved to start today, yes they have had poor games today but to question why they started is laughable. Vardy has one bad game and is now described as 'undroppable'. Ridiculous.

Onto the game itself, it's difficult to say something that's not already been said. We defend them two set pieces then we win the game. A lot of people are over-exaggerating the performance in my opinion, I think many neutrals would say we were decent side based on today but with some major problems that need correcting if we are to be successful, which most would agree with.

Moore was bullied by Ebanks-Blake, but he is young and he will learn from today. De Laet had a poor first 60mins but after that put some good balls in, I think on another day Kasper saves Stearman's goal as well. Great to see Knockaert come on and look good, so energetic, took up some great positions and shown good ability, he is going to frustrate sometimes but he's also going to excite.

Suprised NP went with Waghorn, but it was inches away from being inspired and this thread would have been a whole lot different. He should have scored and it will help out Beckford's supporters who will say he would have scored, he wouldn't have based on his finishing last time against Blackpool.

We need to sort the defence, no question about that and until we do we will continue to drop points on the road.

[Happy Fox]

Defense isn't really the issue the whole team defensively is poor and has been for ages!

When we punt up the ball it is beyond pointless as Nugent and Vardy aren't renowned aerially, play football on the deck that is the way to go unfortunately we have the wingers now but the central midfield has no capability of picking out that pass to thread the ball for Nugent and Vardy to latch onto, the problems still exist just like last season imo.

Finally, somebody talking sense.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Pathetic, same old, same old. I feel like a bastard broken record.

Blackburn may have been shite, Wolves may have been shite - Still beats us though.

The only reason we beat Blackpool was due to a penalty a different referee on a different day might not have given - We wouldn't have scored and won of our own backs.

I'm sick of it, I really am, coincidently i'll be missing quite a few games in the next few weeks due to things i've been invited to - Unfortunatly i'll probably be going Wednesday and next Sunday, I don't really want to, can't really be bothered but i've paid for a ticket so gotta go really - If the players can't be bothered to turn up for a full match kinda wonder why I do.

This, to be fair Matt i think alot of us share your frustration - just not good enough

So who is their manager? Sven didn't decide we would lose 3-0 at home To Millwall now did he hmmm? its 4 defeats in 5 fella - keep being an apologist and getting nasty when you're wrong but footie is a results game

I don't think I am wrong. I agree that performances should have been better. Pearson has put them on the pitch yes, and I KNEW you would make this argument. But, he didn't make them make mistakes? That is THEIR error.

Also, I happen to have liked Sven, and think he was sacked too soon. I, like many fans support whoever is in charge of the team. It could be mickey mouse for all I care.

Anyway, you enjoy being a pessimistic gloom grabber.

I'd rather we were in the top 2 though and looking to be crap in the Premier league next year - 16th, 1 point of relegation spots - what a difference a year makes

[MooseBreath]

No point sacking Pearson now. It seems like his signings are our main problem, they're just not good enough. Not many managers can significantly improve the performance of poor players. Might as well stick with the man who showed confidence in these players by buying them for now. Any new manager coming in and switching things up risks destroying the individual confidence of an already fragile looking squad and disrupting the harmony, and that could seriously leave us at risk of relegation - that is seriously how effective Pearson has been at gutting the squad of quality.

Keep np, have no regrets in Jan when it's clear to everyone he has failed, then at that time the new man can at least bring in some fresh blood.

Words elude me. 40 something games to go - get a grip man.

It probably was, but my point is that I am baffled by your reaction, its absolutely pathetic.
