Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Sounded absolutely fed up after the game, saying we were lucky to get a point. He didn't blame the management directly but you could see in his expressions who is blaming.

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Yep

Looked and sounded utterly dejected

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Don't blame him. We are clueless.

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Probably fed up.

Anyone got rough quotes?

[QUOTE=Rob;2292780]Anyone got rough quotes?[/QUOTE]

"The amount of 2nd contacts we lose is frightening"
"There need to be big improvements and quickly"

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Yeah I thought it was interesting. Lucky to get a point. He said it's scary how many second balls we don't win.

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Said the obvious, only player with his heart on his sleeve once again. Should have played the youth plus Pearson as at least they’d have tried!

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Get Keates back in

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Right now I’d be happy with Keates

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Imagine if it was public knowledge that SP and Hughes don’t get on.

Or that the players can’t stand Darlington.

Imagine a club board knowing about the above and chosing not to act.

IMAGINE

Do you know , I dont mind that thought

I'd ask Pearson who should be next manager

[QUOTE=waxcrayon;2292822]I'd ask Pearson who should be next manager[/QUOTE]

No point. Unless he knows someone young, inexperienced, a former player or been on Darlingtons coaching course!

Said it in a post a week ago. Appoint Pearson and an assistant temporary get the passion back and then bring in a new manager.

Make sure salary isn’t an issue and recruit properly.

Personally I would appoint the duo down the road. They are clearly more knowledgeable and experienced at Non league level than Mr Footgolf.

They are also more animated and passionate on the touchline.

The level of performance is quite frankly disgraceful. Total lack of urgency until last 6 mins. The quality of finishing is atrocious as per Summerfields efforts.
Get Young further forward ffs.

Total embarrassment watching that today.

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Really don't get the clamour about Pearson being the messiah

First off he's no where near the end of his career

Secondly Pearsons passion and drive disappears when the going gets tough. He only rants and raves when we're doing well. Didn't see him trying to drive anyone on today. Barely saw him talk to anyone but the referee.

Grimsby only went up with him on the bench

Great player and a good leader but certainly not the messiah

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

No chance. We gave him his first chance in management and he left us at a critical time of the season. I will never accept him back as manager.

I feel the same, which sums up the sorry situation we're in right now. Id much rather boring 1-0 wins over boring defeats and draws. We'd go back to being solid at the back and we have better players in attack from when he was here last.

Pearson's interview summed up every fans opinion, not good enough and second to every ball. Hughes has lost the dressing room.

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Would happily watch Keates’ boring football that gets results than this.

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Keates until the end of the season then review

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

If BH stays in situ Darlington has to go. We need a full time coach with fresh ideas. That was unacceptable today, when I saw the midfield you just new what was going to happen.
At the very least Young should have been the attacking midfielder.

Imagine if this was insider information.

I dont think Pearson is a messiah but we need time to make an appointment and I would imagine he is respected by the players and he can instill some passion.

The whole football coaching and management team has to go and we need to look and be a professional outfit. At the moment it is amateurish just like the boards. Both of them.

I suggested Keates in a LMT two weeks or so ago, just to see what the reaction would be. Now, like you, I would be happy with it. Far preferable to relegation and a new Legoland clone 'stadium' somewhere convenient for the bypass.

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

In comparison.... here's Hughes' post match interview in full with bullet points from the Nat League highlights show:

* Our fans are fantastic. We're a fans owned club.
* They expect to see us winning games... which is great. Especially here, as our record over the last 18 months or so has been fantastic.
* But if we're not winning games, it can turn quite quickly... that's where we're at at the moment.
* We're in this little rut... that's no win in 6 now
* But yeah... the fans have been great so far
* We need them to keep pushing with us
* With regard to how it affects the players... like I said ... they're human... it will affect them
* What I need to do is manage them so it doesn't affect them... we need them to be on top of their game right from minute 1

So inspiring.... Not ! Oh dear.

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

I didn't think we were that bad, but that was awful. No passion, no pattern of play at all. We were just jogging with no method what so ever. This is deeply worrying.

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Let’s not go down the keates route again

Get someone in with , wait for it, football management experience
Ian Holloway , there’s plenty of suitable candidates out there

I actually think I would to!

We need a pick me up job like he did when he took over from Mills...only this time he would have a better squad to be starting with.

[QUOTE=Leighton Red;2292799]Said the obvious, only player with his heart on his sleeve once again. Should have played the youth plus Pearson as at least they’d have tried![/QUOTE]

Chambers was a much better centre half today.

Also question- Why does a captain stand on the half way line while one of his players attempts to get us a point from the penalty spot ?

Harris and tollit pinching money

No tactics but worse no team spirit for which I blame the management and players in equal measure.

There are loads, it's employer's market. We would be spoilt for choice. Problem is, woild you trust any of the buffoons in charge to get the right man, especially if we allow candidates from outside FAW school to get a fair crack.

If Keates comes back that's me done.

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Pearson has joked to a groundsman asking who the old fella is who sits in the corner every game. The old fella he’s referring to is Brian Flynn.

Where do you want your centre half to stand?
His job is to defend a possible counter attack.

Indeed.

I think we should aim higher than someone less bad.

Were you at the game ?
Sutton were no more likely to counter attack than Tollit was to put a cross in.
Also Carrington was stood next to him. As captain i would let my team mate know that I wanted him to score.

This is hiliarious. Of all the petty complaints I've seen on here this is right up there.
Does Grant really not know that his captain wants him to score? Or if he is somehow that stupid, Pearson can't say come on to him then walk back to his defensive position after?

[QUOTE=joe;2292857]Would happily watch Keates’ boring football that gets results than this.[/QUOTE]

No chance. I’d wash my hands of the whole thing if they brought him back.

Re: Pearson interview on BT Sport
 

Would like to see Sol Campbell as the next manager

Agree. When the decision is taken we need someone who can sort out the mess quickly, then take the club forward. Keates is not the answer.
