His finish was still as bad as it could have been. No way in hell that he would have scored in any way shooting like that.
Simpson's chance was gilt-edged. If, as a striker, you regard that as a half-chance then you're in the wrong business. I like Jay Simpson and would have played him from the start, but that was a sitter.
Just because i'm willing to back the management team doesn't mean i have rose tinted glasses. They are the people in charge at present, so they should receive our support but also criticisms when necessary. Is backing the man in charge of the club we all love such a bad thing? I agree his tactics last season were fustrating at times but we're making progress. We created chances on Friday, we just had to put them away. He dragged us from a relegation battle to the cusp of the play offs last year. Had it not being for the home form we'd have been up there. You're criticisms are built on a personal vendetta against NP, AP and Barmby and it is becoming more and more annoying by the day. You're fully entitled to your opinion, but half of what you say is pure nonsense and you seem to be using anything you can to try and convince us it is right to sack Pearson. We are one game into a 46 game season, for christ sake give the bloke a chance and he'll do well here. As for poor management as the cause of the defeat on Friday, absolute lunacy! As has been said by several posters the only thing missing from Friday was the finishing. We looked to work well as a team, yes not everyone played well but i'd say there's plenty to give us confidence for the coming season. You just choose to ignore the positives which are blatantly obvious because it weakens your anti-NP/AP/Barmby stance. Get your head out the clouds and look at things without your anti-NP/AP/Barmby glasses. The fact you fully believe we'll be near the bottom in a few months time and are licking your lips of the prospeect of Pearson going makes me seriously question what you are doing supporting this football club. There is little to suggest we'll be near the bottom, you're letting your personal issues with the management team get in the way of what is obvious to other people. It seems you want us to fail to score cheap points. Grow up. I have supported this football team for 12 years. I've supported it before the Pearsons were here, and i'll support them afterwards. I choose to back the Pearsons as they are the ones in charge, and should receive our support while they are.
