1 goal can be the equivilant of 2 points. 5 goals can be the equivalent of 10. Fine margins in the Championship are the difference between promotion and finishing bottom half of the table. A "significantly better" defence can be the difference between the side top of the table and the side bottom.

I'm not sure what you're arguing here, I don't think anyone has said Mills needs to go. All people have said is that he deserves to be 4th choice atm. There does seem to have been something gone on between him and NP which is why he's being shipped out as opposed to just being 4th choice right now, but no one really knows what that is, so it seems strange to comment on whether it's harsh or not or poor man management or not. You just seem to have a bug in your bonnet against Pearson and use any excuse, even when you don't know what has happened, to have a pop against him.

Mills being captain should have nothing to do with it. Being captain should never automatically mean you deserve your place in the team. If Pearson took the fact Mills was captain into account when deciding whether dropping him was harsh or not then then I would criticise him, because it shouldn't matter.

I don't think even the most fervent Mills' supporter would deny he deserved to be behind SSL and Morgan after the Norwich and Watford games. As for being behind Bamba, maybe Pearson just thought Bamba was better suited as a substitute against Derby, possibly because he's much quicker and Derby have Tyson leading the attack or maybe he just thinks Bamba is a better player than Mills (I know I'd certainly agree with him on that and from what you have put in the past about Bamba, I think you would too). Not really sure why the Ivory Coast not releasing Bamba to come back in time for the previous game should affect anything.

Whatever you think of him, surely shoring up the defence of a close competitor is stupid, especially as the player doesn't want out.

Do you not know which of your friends talk bull and who you can trust? How have you managed to get through life believing everything you are told?

It was a direct comment to the poster, I stand by it. I have lots of input on what is going on at city but I believe less than 10% of it, certain people have decent info that I believe, me I make up shit to torment.

Yes. When Nigel Pearson leads us to the promised land (not this season, but next), I'll take all the derision that this board cares to dish out: I simply do not see any move forward.

I see the signing of Drinkwater and Morgan as moves forward. I also see the form of Wellens, Danns, Beckford, St Ledger and Dyer as vast moves forward. All of these things have happened since Pearson has taken charge. Granted it has not happened over night but I think the future looks very promising.

It'll take a bit longer than a few months to sort out the sorry mess left behind by the incompetent swede. This season was ruined by Ericsson, nobody else.

Don't come on here posting sense Lukey Boy, Sven was god and Pearson is the fecking anti Christ. for me Mills has been nothing but distinctly average certainly has done little to justify the insane transfer fee and obscene wages afforded to him. Pearson it seems is having to clear up the mess after Sven was allowed to run riot with the cheque book, and thank god the club realised this was unsustainable and Pearson is doing a great job of clearing the decks and building a squad that gives us a stable and bright future

The whole Nigel v Sven discussion is bollocks, the Thais gave Sven a blank cheque book to sign players and get us up then lost their bottle and decided to downsize because we didn't hit the ground running. What the **** is sustainability in football?
