Very generous to Mr Pearson Swaledale methinks.
Let's face it...these players are good even I could get them top 6. All you need to do is pick the right players in the right positions. You don't even need a team talk.
My fear is that Mr Pearson will be unable to even get that right...and then will star to buy in his own players in the belief that it's the current players who are the problem. Steve McClaren came in and was able to get them playing well...will Pearson???

Well I doubt you or I or even a sunday league manager could get this team in the top 6, but I get your drift!

I guess the issue is each persons thoughts as to the right players in the right positions differs and in truth only pearson and his coaching staff, who do not lack experience in this area know what the tactics are and which player seems to suit which position. Also players who fans are used to seeing play in a certain position can actually prosper if developed to play in another.

Yes Mac was very good at the lets attack philosophy and for a season and a half it worked, for a half a season (I agree there were injuries) it didn't and I guess fans have to either let him get into the job and develop a successful approach or moan and whinge when the football isn't that good - but these players would be in the Prem if they could play well every game and win, as it is they aren't, presumably for a reason.

I generally give a manager at least 10 games to get a team going in the right direction and would much prefer a slow but boring start with a flourish in the last 3 months of the season than what we have seen in the last 3 seasons.

Spot on with that last paragraph Swale. Yesterday was a disappointing anti-climax but that's all. Brighton appear to think they should have won and they probably have a point, although strangely we had the more clear cut chances.
For me the most disappointing thing was the players attitude and apparent lack of confidence. Played with their heads up so long as things were going well...i.e. the first fifteen minutes, but once the momentum shifted players like Ince, Blackman, Christie, Hendrick, Bryson, Bent and Johnson seemed to allow their heads to drop. Honestly thought Pearson would have changed that. The crowd didn't help at all but we've got to stop being a 'confidence side' and start showing more bottle imo.

Agree totally with Swales on this!

He does need Shackell.. He did have some good games last year... He was not very good yesterday..
Nobody else's to vote for.. Some fans are blind
For Anag, a Richard III is a turd.

[ramAnag]

Ah...gotcha. 'Richard III...a turd'...who'd a thought it? What a weep and wail. You lovable old cockneys and your strange rhyming ways.
Off you go and count your bees and honey and don't get too scotch mist, Monday tomorrow.

[AngryRam]

Bees and honey is good atm, cashing in after Britex. The saucepan lids keep spending it though..
The troubles, boat race is a picture..

[mistaram]

[AngryRam]
