If you can't get derby scoring goals (can't recall the stats but they really struggled) then how you going to get middlesboro scoring goals when they already struggle. Will be a terrible appointment for boro, fortunately.

AshVilla Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Don't rate Pearson Woeful at Derby and i think Shakespeare and Walsh were the main reason Leicester did so well while he was there and not Pearson himself Edited May 24, 2017 by AshVilla 1

As stated before, his back room team were massive. They won the league just after he only just kept them up! He's a shite manager and an absolute cockwomble

Guest Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Reason we should get promoted number 1: Huddersfield Town.
turvontour Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Huddersfield have just been promoted having lost 15 games and with a negative goal difference. They didnt even have a positive goal difference in the playoffs. Promotion from this league next season should be there for the taking with this group of players. 3
villan-scott Posted May 29, 2017 VT Supporter Posted May 29, 2017 Only 23 days until the fixtures are announced. The countdown begins!

I think you'll find he showed title winning form from March onwards - Leicester then won the title the following season with his team. with respect I feel you are being Harsh - yes I agree he can be most objectionable at times - but as a football manager I'd take him over our present incumbent anyday of the week- did he not sign Vardy, Kante, Marhrez? gosh how many of us would like to have seen these 3 in the claret & blue?

We managed to sign Veretout from under his nose. Oh how Jordan must cherish the season he had in comparison 1

VillaChris Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Sorry I miss it, when has Pearson gone to Boro? I said before that I think Monk walked out of Leeds because Middlesbrough approached him. NIgel Pearson I can see at Sunderland more.
Hairdo Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I feel that with a full pre-season of teamwork we could/should be challenging for the top 2 next year. GK JB JC NB NT MJ HL CH RMC SH JK That team is more than capable of getting promoted and with players like Grealish, Green, Adomah, De Laet,Thor and even RHM to rotate in we should be up there.

Doesn't look likely though.
