The club can't win with you can they? If they hadn't brought him back, I'm sure you'd have moaned about that too. Oh well, at least you're not negative.

Was he training as a striker?

Right, I've got Bols, Advocaat, Cinzano, Babysham, Cherry B or arsenic. Everyone over to the safe house. Run!

So it's the ideal situation is it Matt?
I think you would gobble up all the shit the club fed you Matt, I bet you went down to League 1 with a lovely smile on your face.

Well he was playing as a striker in 2 games so I doubt he had the keepers gloves on in training.

Fair enough. Hadn't seen that.

Yes that's exactly right. It has to be one or the other doesn't it? If Pearson was a brilliant manager, he wouldn't be managing us. If our players were consistently at the top levels they have shown then neither would they. When we had the bad run at the beginning of the season many wanted him out and said amazing things like we'd be fighting relegation. He brought us out of that slump and he may do this one. Results at the minute are shit, as are the performances, but a manager and team that until 6 weeks ago were pushing 2nd do not suddenly become unfit for the task.
People have been moaning that we can't vary our style yet the last 2 games we've played with 3 strikers on the pitch. It hasn't worked but we've tried it. The decision then needs to be made whether to persist and see if it clicks or revert back to our old style.
The buck stops with Pearson but the players have to step up as well, as do the fans. The Sheffield fans sang all game despite their position in the league. Our fans were moaning before we'd kicked off.
All of that is without the fact that sacking Pearson, and the inevitable player ins and outs it would entail, would be more debt on the club and wouldn't increase our chance of promotion one jot at the minute. Instead, we would be better to just get behind the team, drag them over the line and then decide at the end of the season. Right now, the fans have given up; is it any wonder if the players do the same?

Don't be silly Hazz, we have him lined up as reserve goalie.

Are we in a position to be able to risk kids though? I'm not sure. Schlupp was far from the worst part of Saturday.

Taft would have had years of experience playing left back. Schlupp hardly any.

None at first team level though. He may have been a better option though, you are right.

Taft has had some problems with the club, his agent (Cyrille Regis) threatened to get him out because Nigel won't let him go on loan.

Some young lad at the bus stop was going on to me about how he was mates with Taft and how Taft doesn't like Pearson very much. I assume he was telling the truth because I like to think he'd come up with a better lie than that if he was trying to impress.
Does this make me an 'ITK'? I'm a few months late with this breaking news but I reckon I can hit Bert levels of accuracy soon enough with a bit of practice.

If your information is incorrect, you have already achieved that level. If correct then sorry, you are too efficient.

Saturdays performance was well below par. I tried to draw some positives from it but there none. What i can not understand is why the drastic change in levels of performance ? In particular Marshalls work rate was nil. His body language appeared to indicate he didnt want to be playing for us. Its no suprise he got an ovation from his fellow Wednesday fans as he was their best player. Im not sure we go from where (apart from to Cardiff for an arse kicking)

At least you'll have a nice new scarf(with Cardiff tippexed out and Lestah overwritten), a pint and a pie for free to keep you warm on our ice cold seats.
