A very good signing.

NP has certainly learned from his mistakes of the past.

I applaud him.

 

[alex]

Totally agree..

Which were?

Not signing Gary Taylor-Fletcher.

 

[TommyK]

Its pleasing that we're signing these more experienced players one year deals.

We now have experience in defense, midfield, and attack with a good blend of youth. Something I think we've lacked for a while.

Mix double barrelled surname with linear text line ups and you've got a twelveth man. Cunning. Welcome domestic

I don't get this. People saying Pearson was reluctant to sign more experienced players to calm it down if we have a bad run, it's exactly what he did when we won L1 - Powell, Edworthy, I think another too but I don't recall another name.

He's going for it this season. And I'm feeling very positive indeed.

 

[camberwell fox]

His mistakes of last season to which there were a few.

One example would have to be of not bringing in new players ahead of when it was needed in order to create better healthy competition.

If he had made a signing such as this prior to our hideous collapse towards the latter end of last season we might have been able to turn things round sooner.

He has also shown flexibility in formations and tactics and although I have seen us play badly we are not suing badly in all games and certainly in the last couple of games we have played well.

At the moment I apaud our progress and what Pearson, through his players has achieved...and long may it continue.

 

[The Old Fox]

I was most concerned at the signing, singular, prior to season start. It looked as if we were not bothered but, I think that the three recent signings have been excellent and I feel more positive than I have since Pearson's return (Cue a lead balloon drop into the relegation zone :icon_bigg)

But with knowing that FFP was coming in, and Pearson was tasked with reducing the wage bill, how would he have have the option of bringing extra (more senior) players in? I don't know how much Wood is on. Perhaps it's more than I'd expect.

 

[camberwell fox]

He's managed that now so why couldn't he have done so last season particularly as we were in the promotion mix up and a push could well have seen us stay in the top two?

I think the truth of it is that Pearson was being arrogant and somehow didn't envisage the collapse that other posters predicted was on the horizon a good couple of weeks before it happened (pre Middlesbrough).

We were heading for a car crash and the manager did nothing to avert it.

I am sure the Thais could have been persuaded to spend £xxx when we were sitting pretty?

Hindsight is such a wonderful wonderful thing!

 

[Matt_B]

Hindsight is such a wonderful wonderful thing!

He forgets that the people who "predicted" the tail off had been saying the same thing since August and most probably the seasons before.

Please show me an example of this?

Who made those predictions?

 

[pork pie fox]

Who made those predictions?

Do you not remember Pearson coming on here and saying all was well and he didn't need to sign anyone? Then those posters said he was wrong but he was having none of it, the arrogant bastard.

 

[camberwell fox]

Who made those predictions?

To the best of my knowledge:

Lako, Homer, me...

I can find one by you. Would you like to post a link to it?

All I could find was you saying we wouldn't go up if we didn't sign a striker. Then we signed Wood.
