Next Season??

[Harbro-Fox]

Lets sum up this farce of a season..............

Three shining lights of our season our Danns, Kasper and Nugent. The rest have been utter shite, Beckford, Mills, Wellens, Peltier ETC should never wear the shirt again. The money we have spent to assemble this so called team is unreal, no passion and no comittment. Pearson needs to clear off and we need some fresh blood, someone like Lee Clarke or Bristol's new manager Derek McInnes. Hungry managers not that monotone Pearson, in my opinion we need something to happen before August else we are in for another shocking season. :icon_sad: what needs to happen next season in your opinions??

Would you really call Danns a shining light? He was useless for 3/4 of the season. Had a few good games and then got sent off twice missing the rest of the season (combined with an injury).

I do think he'll be a good player for us next season, but to call him a shining light this season is a bit far fetched.

I would, Danns is excellent when played in his right position IMHO.

Oh dear.

The rest have been utter shite, Beckford

Oh double dear.

monotone Pearson

Because varied tones is a key attribute of any successful manager.

I agree he can be good and he has shown this a few times. But to class him as a shining light this season is not true.

As I've said I do think he will be good but he's not done enough yet to warrant being called a shining light.

 

[FryattFox]

what needs to happen next season in your opinions??

People need to give it time. You clearly cannot buy success, and therefore we need to give the manager and the team time to settle.

 

[FryattFox]

I guess it's all relative.

He's not going to have PL teams desperate to sign him, but on the other hand if you find 50p in a cow-pat then that's a shining light...

Trouble is for the most part of the season (out of position or not) he didn't much resemble a 50p. More an old grubby 2 pence piece.

Anyway, not trying to have a go as I'm sure he'll be decent next season.

Next season I'd just like to go home after a match thinking I'm glad I went.

Like having good grammar makes a good thread :s Oh dear you rate Beckford for 2.5 million he is an arrogant tosser who couldn't care less about the team, the chances of him being a success at Leicester are as likely as you pulling tonight

Since Pearson came Beckford has scored more goals than Nugent, and you're saying Nugent is a success. Maybe Beckford just took a while to settle.

 

[Motown Fox]

Well long time no see Harbs.
Beckford 's been playing much better so disagree with you there. Peltier perhaps needs some competition other than whatshisname.
Lee Clarke or Derek McInnes ?? You'll be saying Billy Davies next

 

[indierich06]

It's this kind of wild overreacting that does my head in. If we win a game we're going to win the league, if we lose a game we're fecked.

We've fallen short this season, yes, but to call the season a 'farce' and to call the players a 'utter shite' is mental. A bad season would have been a relegation battle. We've finished a few points shy of the playoffs, if we'd been a bit more focussed in some of our matches and if some farcical decisions hadn't gone against us, we'd probably be in there now.

What's the point in getting worked up about something you can't change? Come next week the season will be over and things look promising for next season, we've got a good manager in charge, we've got the foundations of a fantastic squad... I don't know about you lot, but I'm going to forget the disappointment of this season and start looking forward to the next one!

If someone's posting style makes them look like an idiot, people will take what they say less seriously.

 

[Harbro-Fox]

He was a free transfer and has been consistantly decent all season with a fantastic spell in the middle of that? I do however agree that he was poor in the first half of the season however that was because Eriksson was playing him wide right and left which isn't where he plays, he is the signing of the season along with Nugest and the friendly ghost.

 

[FryattFox]

Like having good grammar makes a good thread :s

It makes a better thread.

Oh dear you rate Beckford for 2.5 million he is an arrogant tosser who couldn't care less about the team

I believe that someone stated that he has been more prolific for us under Pearson than any other player. But I guess it's the old Yakubu argument; how dare he be arrogant when scoring goals?!

the chances of him being a success at Leicester are as likely as you pulling tonight

Clever.

 

[Harbro-Fox]

I just skip non football related posts, its a football thread not an English lesson.

 

[Harbro-Fox]

Fair point about Beckford, I'll give you that one. Just my own opinion and I personally don't like him or his attitude and nor does Pearson which is why whether we like it or not he will be gone in the summer.

 

[indierich06]

Pearson needs to clear off and we need some fresh blood, someone like Lee Clarke or Bristol's new manager Derek McInnes.

Lee Clarke is the most overrated manager going. You know a team is going nowhere when they can go on an unbeaten run like that and still get nowhere near the top of the league. You want to talk about talented managers - Chris Powell has done more in one full season at Charlton on an absolute fraction of the budget that Clarke had at Hudds. All he did was waste money and draw games - the Terrier fans weren't even sad to see him go.

Derek McInnes? What's he done then? Just about managed to keep Bristol City in the league? Well ****ing hell, get him quick then!

you're talking bollocks and making stuff up.

 

[FryattFox]

you're talking bollocks and making stuff up.

I have no doubt that Harbro has discussed the issue both with Pearson and JB's next club.
