Then heads have to roll. Who, well that is debateable but this is a good team on paper but paper doesn't win games and the buck has to stop somewhere...the manager, the players? And referring to a previous article about how well has Pearson done, how can he get an 8 or 9 when he has made us look average. Maximum 5, I don't see how he could get anymore? I met him recently and he is a top man, made real time to speak to me but can he build a team to challenge over the next 12 months as we are way way behind the top 6-8 teams at the moment, and this excludes teams that come down this season? There was an article on team talk recently about the top 10 players in this league, plus the next best 5 - only someones opinion but didn't have an entry, and looking at the list you see some real quality, but we have nothing like that. A heck of a lot of money has been wasted. I fear for the future of this club if we carry on like this, the Thai's will get fed up of this drivel soon, if Rangers can go then anyone can. 5/6 players short at the moment, to many 1 in 5 game players which will get us what we have at the moment - mid table mediocrity.
5 at best, as he has yet to grasp that neither wellens or gallagher are good enough to keep getting picked, at best they are squad players, nothing more, pure and simple, why oh why can he not see it???..............
The players are to blame now. We can keep changing the manager as much as people like but we will still have the same problems. Nigel will sort it out for us. Some players arent good enough to be here and some arent good enough to be first choice Gallagher, Wellens, King, Danns and Dyer. Neither are good enough to nail a shirt down. Maybe 1 or 2 are good enough to be squad players but first choice defo not. If you ask me Danns needs to go, King, Wellens, Dyer and Gallagher can be squad players. We need to get someone in who is going to take the game to the opposition like Mark Davies did when he was here. Someone like Gelson Fernandes who is going to sit in there and break the play up. Add to them Danny Drinkwater and i think the midfield will be good enough. Dyer isnt consistent enough and you need someone like Gallagher in your squad but he is too powerpuff at times. Back Nigel and he will sort us out
Time for a jiggle around me thinks, push Bamba into the middle with drinky and Kennedy instead of dyer and start Marshall, anything, just try it, please!
Nigel Pearson- " Not good enough, im not having people saying the season is over and if they do there will be serious repercussion, i will be looking to make 1 or 2 changes. the defending wasnt good enough, I would have been disappointed to have drawn that game, Im not happy with certain aspects of our performances. Im not prepared to accept this, they caused us problems because we didnt deal with their direct approach good enough, There is aspects of our game that i dont like and will change, I have been very patient so far on how we are going to change things. My responsibility is to change things and i will do. We have got a cup game coming up now and it gives me a few chances to try things. Danny Drinkwater has gone for an x-ray"
At least he isn't burying his head in the sand, be interesting to see who he picks on Saturday, hope drinky is ok.
Team for Saturday -------------Schmeichel-------------- --------St. Ledger Mills Morgan ---------------Bamba--------------- ---Marshall Wellens Drinkwater Gallagher -----------Nugent Beckford
What's the betting we don't win any two games in a row this season, and then win the first two next season!
Typical Leicester would be we win the last 2 games of the season. We finally crack the jinx as the season ends
Drinkwater has gone for an X-Ray? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. He's been our best player recently.
That is the millon-dollar question. Personally, I rate the guy and I back him to turn it round for us. He's done it before with us when he built a side to get from League 1 to a penalty kick from Wembley and then he built the Hull side that is now doing well. He also has the resources available to him to do it and we have one of the best scouts in the country to be able to recruit players. If you look at NP at Hull, when he had his first season he struggled because there was a squad that wasn't in his image but when he had time to build HIS side, well, you just need to look at the table to see that he did a good job. Also, our season this term is almost parallel to that of 'Boro last season whereby they spent a lot; sacked the manager; new manager has indifferent results with the squad he's inherited; has a full summer to get the squad he wants; team now doing well - so it proves that if you give a manager that you believe in and who has proven themselves to be a good manager in this division time to turn it around, it is possible. Pearson needs a squad in his image to do well and if we give him a summer to do this, I think we'll have a chance next season. Consistency is the big problem. The players, on the whole, have proven they can cut in the division. The manager has done likewise. For the record, I don't think the squad needs a major overhaul. That could be the worst thing we could do. Just a few quality additions (winger, centre-mid especially). I feel that more key than chopping and changing the squad again, is to develop a strong team spirit and ethos and gel as a unit because that is what we need the most.
wellens may have improved, but lets be honest that wouldn't be too difficult, cos he has been s***e all season, and nomatter what, gallagher will not get stuck in when you need to battle, he constantly ducks under headers, and shirks anything near a 50/50, in fact thats the only consistant thing about our team this season...............
