    Your half-time ratings you rate them all as having done well to very well, except Rowe, yet come FT it all LJ’s fault again for leaving a $hit squad. Make you’re mind up!!

    These players are **** and a disgrace, a youth player making his debut trying to motivate and hurry up senior players really takes the biscuit.

    I still haven’t renewed my ST yet and I bloody miss going I really do but watching this shower of **** is making me not bother next season. Disgrace the lot of them.

    Not that it matters but those ratings are copied and pasted from the Bristol Post ,bit petty dragging me in on a discussion with regard to jiffies opinion, I differ from him significantly, your a luvie and think LJ walks on water and I think he has got holes in his feet, to be fair jiffie has given LJ some credits for his earlier days.

    Todays results are nothing to do with LJ, they are down to NP and the players, no one else.

    I cannot believe that I am answering your total nonsense, but here goes.
    Football is divided into 2 halves, each of 45 minutes with a break of 10 minutes between them.
    At the end of the first half I posted this:-Cannot fault the effort and the patience against a very energetic and in your face Luton side. 2 good goals and at least competing today.
    Conway looks like a talent very impressed, Kalas has been just awesome and a great save from Bentley just before halftime. Wells and Nagy looking much better today.
    My main criticism is we lack width from the full backs and that really needs looking at for next season.

    And then the 2nd half started and we looked like a totally different team, with at least 4 players hiding a la Wycombe on Wednesday we were a far different side to the first half, I never mentioned LJ you did as you always do, I mentioned the squad which for the last 2 games have been Jeckyll and Hyde, please explain how at half time I am expected to comment about the 2nd half, which has not even happened.

    yet again you dodge the question with a barrage of BS. If this squad is so pi$$ poor, how do we go 2 up at HT. are you seriously not questioning the mindset that NP instilled in them at HT, if not, you should be! You think I’m always sticking up forLJ, and I quite often do when the usual suspects blame him for everting, but take the rose tints off ffs,if NP cannot motivate them to hold on to a 2-0 HT lead at home to fu**ing Luton then I question his ability. The “squad” debate is just yours and others way to continue to bash LJ.

    It's a barrage of BS?, firstly you accuse me of a post that somebody else wrote and now this nonsense.

    These players haven't been fully motivated for far too long, they are the reason that LJ was sacked, when they cross over the white line all of the motivation in the world won't help, LJ couldn't do it, Holden couldn't do it, Pearson can't do it ergo it must be the squad, it cannot be anything else. Also please show me where other than in your head anyone other than you has even mentioned LJ today. I have said before Pep, Fergie or Jesus H Christ himself could not fully motivate this squad, if you think this squad is ok then expect a relegation battle next season.

    The squad debate is not mine, the vast majority of fans have realised how poor they actually are, just take a look on any BCFC social media site. it is not to bash it's the f****** truth, it is a poor squad, am I happy with the way things have gone since Pearson took over? of course not, am I surprised? of course not, when Pearson first took over and he put out tweet thanking the fans for their overwhelming support, I wished him good luck with the caveat, "you will need it".

    The squad needs major surgery, I suspect even SL can see that now, again I repeat they let LJ down, they let Holden down, they are now letting Pearson down and worst of all they are letting the fans down, had the squad been OK, LJ would still be here.

    PS:- Let make simpler about today.

    Sessegnon 1st half 5 - 2nd half 2
    Rowe 1st half 5 - 2nd half 2
    Nagy 1st half 6 - 2nd half 2
    Lansbury 1st half 6 -2nd half 3

    Hallelujah!! For clarity, I’m not an LJ luvee, nor do I think he walks on water, and stated so many many times when he was in charge. Equally he doesn’t deserve the berating he gets from all on here, so 2 of us don’t join the bully club, and we now get berated as well.

    In my opinion, like you mentioned, it’s not helped with injuries this season, it’s also not helped lacking a creative midfielder, decent cover at the back and an actual leader in the pitch.. I know not today but still not sure why Fammy gets favour over others, not sure what they see and I don’t..
    if NP stays, he does have players he can work with but without bringing in some quality signings, I agree with most.. next season has relegation written all over it..

    The problem is you will not accept the obvious, this squad is nowhere near good enough, they got 2 managers sacked and are carrying that on with that under a 3rd, I cannot understand why you expect Pearson to be only manager that should be able to motivate them when the other 2 couldn't.

    Of course you're a luvie, just like you falsely accuse me of being a hater, forgive me but I have never attempted to call you or even think you're a bully boy and why drag One4 into your debate (You are doing it again, first me, now One4) I can't understand, he's a real sweetie, you are just a bit more abrasive, I don't think either of you are a Braters either, I thought Bplus.:emoticon-0105-wink:

    You are correct, sadly most of what you say has never been properly addressed and for far too long and we are paying the price on the pitch.

    The mistakes are unbelievable, not bringing in a left back at the beginning of the season, letting Pring go out on loan, not bringing a left back in in January when Rowe was injured, not bringing in a better right back than Hunt, not bringing in another striker and worst of all not bringing in another midfielder once the club realised how bad injured Walsh and Williams were. The loans have been shocking Brunt, Sessegnon, Mariappa, Lansbury, the whole process of recruitment needs to be sorted out.

    Nobody could fully motivate this squad, LJ and Holden couldn't and neither can Pearson.

    There was an incident late in the game that @AshtonRed alluded to where we had a corner and the senior player who was due to take it was ambling over and young Tommy Conway berated him telling to get a move on, he shouldn't have to do that to a so called senior player FFS.

    We’re doomed. DOOMED I tell eee

    Good job I didn’t watch the game. I felt slightly tempted at half time but glad I resisted. My phone was buzzing so much with Luton’s goals I thought someone was trying to phone me.
    I gave LJ and Holden a chance and I’ll do the same with Pearson. He has this summer’s transfer to at least stop the rot and show us fans that he recognises our weaknesses.
    At least he won’t have Ashton controlling things either, unlike the previous incumbents.

    Nigel Pearson's verdict
    We’ve seen some frustrating games here this season, but that one has to take the biscuit?

    Well, you’ve probably seen more than me. Today’s game shows exactly where we are. If you want an illustration to show where we are as a football club it’s that performance.

    Too many players unavailable, some good football to go 2-0 up at half-time. A performance that showed players folding and working independently, not as a team.

    Not a good thing, not a good day.

    Nathan Jones speaks
    We can't spend a £100m like other clubs so we need to do things our way and make teams fear us. We bought Joe Morrell for the future. He will have been disappointed not to play today but we know what he can do.

    I guess from my point of view, it was one of the benefits of appointing him, was that he would get into them and get them showing passion. Much as I despise him I’ll bet Warnock would have!

    I bet he wouldn't.

    If LJ couldn't, Holden couldn't and now Pearson can't, what on earth makes you think Warnock could? How many more managers are you prepared for them to see off before you realise that they are collectively beyond motivation, coaching and trusting?

    At heart LJ was a good man, who brought most of these players in and many from lower leagues and more than a few on big wages and they repaid him with far too many half hearted performances especially towards the end of a season, they did the same to Holden another good man but handed a poison chalice and now are doing it to Pearson another good man, they are a shameless bunch and Pearson is right in his hope that some of the so called 'senior' players don't infect the incredibly talented young kids coming through with their lack of effort and caring.

    Conway was terrific today as was Scott in his cameo.
