Im a fan of Morgan but he has over the last 4 months made a lot of mistakes that would have cost any other player there place, and I dont agree about Was and Moore. Moore was one of our top 5 players first few months and has made no more mistakes than anyone else, but has been poorly treated (Clearly not on his own here), and Was has been our best defender since Xmas. Clearly Morgan has deserved to be dropped (Or 'Rested' if it makes you feel better), but then Pearson doesnt do whats best for the football team does he, the stubborn useless Twat....

I agree he could do with a rest, and maybe with wasilewski having a run as I believe he is probably the inform player at the back. Huth is clearly class, but to try to justify Upson over Morgan? You only had to watch the last 3 games to see Upson is a worse player than Morgan. He looks his age.

Pearson is unable to respond to the different challenges we face... he doesn't learn and doesn't fix things (...or maybe sometimes does... but too slowly)... but the lack of ambition today, in the way he set us up to play hull, is the reason he must be sacked now as an example to all... and to reassure paying season ticket holders that the board believe that this is not acceptable....and will endeavour to provide better for the fans.

I'm handing in my resignation. Please forward my P45. I am grateful to NP for getting us back into the big time, but I think it's time for a change, a new impetus. Too many errors, not enough belief. Who though? I suppose we may as well take a gamble on almost anyone now.... So sad....,

Not once did I think we'd concede today. Huth makes a big difference and Wes and Upson were fine.

No...the problem was at the other end.

WE DO NOT CREATE chances...how many shots on target did we have all game? One or two?

Our midfield to final third is absolutely dire. Even against ten men and a back three containing Alex Bruce and Paul McShane..we looked clueless.

Most of the hostility this season has been aimed against our defence.

For me, we have a massively weak midfield at this level. Our strikers are devoid of chances. Truly devoid of them.

I was pretty certain we wouldn't concede either. We know jelavic isn't clinical from 1 yard, especially with the goalkeeper out of the picture

The players have let Pearson down, they have also let themselves down and the fans down.

 

That said they can't help it if they're not good enough.

 

Pearson obviously thought they were good enough to step up, have a go at it, I also had those thoughts back in the summer so to slag Pearson off for that would be wrong as I had the same opinions.

 

Now, January, he did nothing, I can't forgive that, he didn't strengthen in key areas, pretty much did **** all.

 

Add to his insistence of playing poor players who continually make silly mistakes whilst players who have come in for cameo appearances and impressed get dropped after 1 or 2 games, again, unforgivable.

 

My blame is a mixture of Pearson and the players but as the season's gone on and the choices Pearson has made (Or not made) it's ultimately Pearson's fault now.

Our fans are spineless they didn't turn on him today. He should have been slated.

 

I respect your points made in previous posts and I agree. However, blind loyalty has cost us. We should have been more vocal and critical of NP after 13 games without a win, but generally we weren't.

 

Blind loyalty is the vision of the foolish and the blind.

 

An even better quote: "there are none so blind as they who cannot see"

 

So many NP defenders are guilty of this.

 

Like you, I'm so disappointed.

 

May last year was euphoric. Followed by a summer filled with hope and expectation. I couldn't wait to see what we could do with what we should have carried over from winning the Championship so comprehensively.

 

It's not life or death, but to be made to feel so dejected and let down through one man's ineptitude and arrogant belief in his own "ability" is utterly soul destroying.

 

The board have prevaricated for much too long, mainly, I believe, because they have no understanding of English football clubs, the fans or the Prem. It's a business vision for them.

 

NP should have gone by Christmas. It was clear to most of us that we were failing at that point.

But the odd thing is, Christmas coincded with our best period of the season, excluding the very beginning, where we took 4 points from 6 against Hull and Liverpool and then had a good FA Cup win.

 

I think it gave everyone the belief that we were turning things around, and coupled with funds in January, we would make a real go of staying up.

 

It backfired royally, in a similar fashion to the way Avram Grant lost the plot at West Ham.

 

If there was any time to get rid,  it had to be when the gap was still closeable and we could use the new manager bounce to guide us through the winnable games. That time has long gone.

Yeah being foreign means you're incapable of understanding something as complex as English football, of course. Nice racism bro.

 

Erm, sorry Moose but where is there any racism in what I said?

 

My comments could equally apply to any business that buys a fiootball club for business reasons only.

 

I never mentioned "foreign" ownership.

 

We could be in the same shit if we were owned by Boots

Players have not let the fans down - they have played to the best of their abilities... I am proud of them.... and even thought some or all might not be up to PL standard, as a group we should have done better this season. The key to our failure has been the lack of astute management. Irony is that by bringing in better players we might have papered over NP's inadequacies... But eh won't change or improve himself. At a time (today) when we should have at least tried to seize our destiny we went into battle with a timid timid plan - When the going gets tough NP lacks ambition... and the board should make a stand and say this is not acceptable for LCFC.

There's been a real change of emphasis from last season, we've just turned from an exciting side to a sheltered one who don't seem to want the ball. I think we've paid too much respect to teams, played awfully and also merited more from certain games that we achieved.

 

But results, goals scored are not anywhere near good enough and hardly anyone could complain if we changed manager, just hope the next appointment proves to be an inspired choice and we improve long term.

We have waited ten years, only to be greeted by some absolute shit.

The Diamond midfield earlier in the season which saw us earn a few good points from teams such as Everton and Arsenal

Not giving Albrighton a chance and the reason for this is still subject to speculation

Not signing a LB which might as well been down to bad decisions by the management last summer and the lack of players available in January

Sticking with his favourites like Wes & Konch Any other favourites we should know of? I could name you just as many "favourites" that he dropped in the process, such as Nugent, De Laet or even Vardy.

Poor Substitutions in most games That's easy to say in hindsight.

Benching Wasilewski when he's been our best defender Our best defender this season has been Huth, but Wasilewski comes closes second - mainly because he's surprised me with his ability to play at this level.

Not playing Hammond more often which might as well have been down to injury or the player not being fit enough

Abusing fans and getting players in headlocks I can think of one fan, not several - and show me the headlock, please

Playing our strikers out wide, which he has done in the past Why no mention of Nugent being played as a centre forward?

Not giving Kramaric & Ulloa a chance to play together Who knows - we might still see them play together in the remaining few games to go.

It's been mistake after mistake since September, a depressing pile of shit.

 

 

The defence of Pearson feels increasingly desperate.

 

The argument isn't whether or not he's looked competent this season, he's quite clearly done an appallingly bad job, the argument is whether he should be given another chance. Should we be willing to give him another two or three attempts to get back up, knowing that the last squad he assembled in the process was woefully inept at this level, and that the manager himself has given us no reason to believe he can hack it at this level?

 

You could argue that he learnt from his failures in early 2013 and may learn again, that he's been a good manager on balance, that we could allow him another chance and be a lot quicker to move him on, if needs be, upon promotion. But to argue that he represents a young, energetic set-up, good football, year-on-year progress is harder.

 

Ultimately it boils down to ambition. What do we actually want of our club? Because if it's for us to be side capable of staying up at this level, Pearson would seem to be a very poor short-term and long-term solution. And, considering the scale of our collapse this season, the age of our team, the players likely to move on, the loss of confidence among players and fans, it will take a proactive, decisive, motivational manager to revitalise us. Are those qualities we tend to associate with Pearson?

 

As for alternatives, I was hearing that there were none when Pulis and Sherwood were still out of work. There are always alternatives. You never know who will click with a club. The most fantastic managers can be disastrous and relative nobodies have a habit of doing well in the lower tiers. We saw that ourselves when Sven and Sousa failed to make the grade, just as we did when Pearson rejuvenated our club in 2008.

 

But at the moment Pearson looks like a man out of his depth and making no progress whatsoever, he looks like a manager who will go down along with the John Gormans, Steve Cotterils, Danny Wilsons, Aidy Boothroyds, Billy Davies and Micky Adams of the world; a guy who hasn't taken his chance, looks like he hasn't learnt a thing, and will probably never get another chance at this level. 

 

He looks as close as you can get to a manager who can't achieve success at this level, which happens to be exactly what we're looking for. He's spent six years, with two different clubs, attempting to get a chance at this level and during that time some of the most unlikely managers have emerged and succeeded where he has failed. Do we want to stick with a guy who looks pretty clearly incapable of giving us what we want, or take a risk on someone who might?

What a self obsessed arrogant **** Pearson really is.

Can they not sack him for this? Gross misconduct?

I mean seriously his on field decisions are bad, but his off field antics are dragging the club through the mud.

Didn't you see the outrage when Pearson got fake sacked? Most of the football community would have said a newly promoted club struggling in the premier league has little to gain from sacking the manager. So it's a bit harsh to start blaming the owners for not sacking him, them not sacking him has got nothing to do with a lack of knowledge of English football, English fans, English culture, English breakfast or any other definitely not racist suggestions you made.

Maybe they can sack him for cause and save some compensation.

the December row with a fan looks, in hind sight, like it was a god given opportunity to turn our season round - the board passed on it and everything continued on exactly the same (np never learns and is too stubborn to change)- and here we are. Look what Pullis has done for wba - they were the worst team to come here... and yet they are well safe
