Quote ="Irregular Hoops"Just a shame Pearson didn’t employ Smith years ago.
Was duped by Howes/McRae and Radford, and ended up wasting a tonne of money.
We certainly need fresh blood.
We’ve wasted big money, and quota spots, on people who aren’t fit for the first team.
Hopefully TS can balance the squad, and get better value for money. We just need to back him.
Was never going to be a short term fix.
Just hope we see some game time for Staveley, Balmforth and Jebson now.'"
Mr Pearson is the one person responsible for FC’s present predicament. He appointed all of the coaches, he was the one who did not respond quickly enough when things were not going well. He sanctioned all of the player signings. He has no one to blame but himself. Unfortunately he does not have the apparent financial clout of say a Ken Dave’y at Hudds to keep pumping money into the club.
Trueman really let the side down last night. According to people on here Litten has gone from being the golden boy from the academy and your long term future fullback to the whipping boy overnight. He did not have a good game admittedly but why pick on him when senior players did not turn up for the cause either? There is a reason a rookie might not rise to the occasion but senior players cannot be given the same latitude.
I was not convinced by Mr Pearson’s appointment of TS as some of his personality flaws became apparent when with us. He did start moving us in the right direction and I am grateful for that but in the end his ego got in the way of his decision making. Overall his signings were no better than average.
He may come good eventually but whether everyone remains patient enough remains to be seen. Last night would suggest that after taking two steps forward you have now taken one step back.
