I'd love to see the stats of goals conceded from our left-hand side. His legs are going and his liking for a rash tackle still there (see Barnsley away).

He's proved to be a total liar in some cases and just re-states rumours for elsewhere.
That said, he seems to have the ear of our local journo's.

I'll await Macky's confirmation but this looks legit to me.

I don't think he was too happy about being on the bench. If he was he might have found himself getting plenty of game time. He's the type of player you need when things are going against you.

I think that the position is very simple:
Pearson discarded players who he didn't get on with;
he (and presumably) the owners did not splash out on strengthening the squad at the crucial time;
he was then left with insufficient options and the players on whom he relied were run into the ground;
the team did fantastically well in the circs to get as close as they did toget into the play offs and then a Wembley Play-Off but not quite enough fuel in the tank.
I doubt if Pearson is the type of guy who learns from his mistakes. He's not good on 'Plan B's' and set in his ways. But he has some of the strengths of the old fashioned manager breed.
It needs someone different to move the club forward ....but I'm not convinced we are in a good position to achieve that change.

He was carrying an injury wasn't he? NP went for someone who was fully fit, and does offer more going forward. Having said that, if Konchesky was fully fit I would guess that NP would have started with him at Watford.

Yeah I heard this but he was on the bench for both games, so couldn't have been too far away from full fitness. I would have taken the risk with it being what turned out to be our final game of the season.

I post very rarely, this is an interesting thread.... but I cant help thinking about our dire performances of Feb/March and puzzled me greatly that we can fail so spectacularly from playing some damn good stuff one month to playing rubbish for the next two, tactics by the management team went pear shaped, and ruined a season of hope, and I just wonder whether we might be subjected to the same again,
good managers see upsets in form and deal with them efficiently and quickly Pearson failed in that respect.

Based on the fact he is a better manager than the current incumbent.
