How can you justify NP going now when he's the one who has got us in the playoffs, higher than quite a few on here said we'd do at the start of the season.

Can you name another manager ( how many has there been ? ) since we last got promoted to the promised land who has managed a consistant run in the playoffs?

I can - NP

That's where your argument goes down the drain, we've had numerous managers who've never got anywhere near the success NP has had and is having now, why would another " the grass is greener" manager be any different to all the other failures?

the spice of life young padawans..

be a bit boring if we all agreed

But I don't have a hair braid!

69 tell me you dont enjoy winding up us pro pearson brigaders? everyone loves a good wind up/banter

If we all agreed, this site would be dull!

Me: "Get Nigel out"
Everyone else: "yeah we agree"

End of comments lol

But I don't have a hair braid!

Hahahahaha i should imagine supporting city for 50 years you have no hair left?

Bring back Jock Wallace I say. Or even cockney Jimmy Bloomfield. Then again, Matt Gillies? Ummmm I wonder what they would/could have done this season?

My hair went at 18!
I blame my dad for making me a Leicester City fan!

this time next year we will all be arguing pearson out he is about to mess up our champions league spot

Good head of hair Jimi but signs of grey over past few weeks......since being on here!

I think 1 thing we all surely agree on is that Vardy is a waste of space! He's like a poor mans Dickov

I don't wind you old timers up. I feel like I'm trying to spread the word to non believers. I'm naffed off as I even had a fiver on city of draw at ht and win ft of 1-0 at 12/1.

i stopped betting on us. first year i had a comp with a drinking pal to bet on all leicester matches we got relegated by taylor and his boyfriend and i won a fair whack! then did it again and we went down to league one! again i earnt a few quid! kind of feel like im an unlucky force for us when betting.

Haha. I had a 14 fold bet about month ago. 13 teams came in, the other drew in last few mins. If they had won I stood to win £156k for a £1.50 bet. Absolutely gutted to be honest.

Repeating the same mantra over and over and over again, as if by doing so, everyone will eventually agree with your rather poorly expressed arguments, is what makes these boards very uninteresting.

...and 69, your goat must get up every time you touch the keyboard then

But all that apart.......
..........as someone who watched the Sheff Wed debacle I found last night's performance, as relayed by Stringer and Young, astonishing. Can someone who was there please tell me what on earth changed? This inconsistency is driving me MAD....

Sheffield Wednesday had no sense of entitlement and worked hard for every point they got, while we mostly sat back and worried and wondered about why we couldn't beat.

Last night we actually respected the fact that Cardiff might have some good players as well and worked harder to actually earn something.

And, unfortunately, the big mistake of the match was to bring Vardy on. He gave the ball away several times, he got caught massively out of position when he should have been preventing the free cross that they scored from, he was out of his depth on the pitch.

I know that Pearson has persisted with people before that the majority of the fans disagree with, Ryan McGivern being the one that immediately springs to mind. However, he's really got it wrong on Vardy: The guy has never shown the kind of form required for this division and, while I think it could be overlooked at first on the basis that you want to give a player time and that he needs to learn about the division and improve, it's time that Vardy was sent out on loan somewhere. He shouldn't be anywhere near our bench, let alone our first team: He's shown absolutely no sign of improvement since early season anywhere on the pitch and his age is against him.

I'm not generally one to give up on players - I still believe Wellens, Gallagher, Dyer, Waghorn, Whitbread and several other complained-about players can add something to the squad. However, Vardy (like Futacs) is out of his depth with what looks like a very low chance of improvement. At least Pearson recognised last night that the goal came because we failed to prevent the cross and that might make him think twice in the future about trying to solidify the right flank by putting Vardy on it.

good shout Dunge

I excecpt what you say about Vardy Dung but other players did not take their chances did not play the ball into the corners and yes our latest scapgoat carried the can. in the last few games more popular players have dropped a buuulock and they did not get the blame for losing the game.

Do you play the ball into the corner or do you stick in a decent cross when there could be a goalscoring opportunity from it? Frankly, wouldn't really want to criticise either approach there.

Anyway, I think other players' mistakes or poor contributions in recent weeks have been taken in a different context: Individual errors as compared to quality shown in the rest of the season or simple poor form that can improve. The problem with Vardy is not this one game - he looks out of his depth every time he's on the pitch, just like Futacs did. He tries hard, but he's not shown anything that suggests he's learning how to have a future in this division. Maybe he's showing a lot more in training or maybe he just gets on the pitch through work rate, but we're not seeing anything from him other than bluster.

This doesn't mean that there should be any vitriol toward Vardy of course: I don't believe that any player trying their best for the club should be subject to a lot of abuse. However, with Vardy I have a simple, grim acceptance that we've given him a go but he's not good enough - he's been given time and he's shown no sign of being good enough nor ever reaching the level that's required. The frustrating thing is that Pearson's still tempted to play him, whether as substitute or otherwise, and Vardy continues failing to display the level needed. So in many ways, it's not his fault: After all, it was Pearson who put him on the pitch and in the position that he did. I just wish he was out on loan somewhere so the temptation wasn't around.

Again agreed he should not be here at the moment. But i'm talking about the only thing we needed to do for the last five minutes keep possession of the ball or put it in row z we have been doing that earlier in the season why not yesterday?
