Should not be losing games like that

I saw a lot of good play by us today

Some great football and movement etc 

It’s credit to the players and Pedersen for that 

But

we’re going to need 4 new defenders that defend first. 

Shock! Wednesday unable to defend set pieces. Hardly new is it. Been like this for the last few years

Only sort of agree he's had a tough hand? What would make you completely agree he's been given a tough hand exactly?

Meaning agree he's had a tough job with all the rounduns thats gone off but imo his decision making is absolutely woeful...seen too many games where wrong players selected subs not used correctly i could go on....but ive not got on his back because of the situation we have all had take under the former dear leader.

My god, it’s like the last few months never happened to some people!

We are all aware.

However. We are winning a game and it’s clearly starting to drift away from us, then 2-2, then 3-2 down before he tries to alter it. People are rightly thinking that next season we can’t have a manager that lets a win fall out of our hands…

He wasn’t given a tough hand. He chose to take it in the same way Danny walked away from it. He knew what he was getting but isn’t prepared.

Why is it relevant if he's volunteered to do it or someone's got a gun to his head and making him do it, that doesn't change the squad or the reasons we find ourselves in the situation we're in does it.

Thats where a manager comes in imo ...and you correctly pointed out he jist let the game drift by till it was too late.

Its a shame as well because first half we were so much better then PNE and could have gone in 4-1 up.

Are you happy with Pederson ? Yes i know we have a very poor squad but, seriously genuinely are you happy to stick with him and let him buy players ? 

We had a back three made up of an ageing full back, a youngster who wouldn’t normally be anywhere near the first team and another full back who’s been playing mostly in midfield. I do agree we shouldn’t have lost this game or the last one.We created but missed at least 3 easy chances in both games. Enough to have won both in spite of our defending, and against teams at the top end of the table.

The reason for losing these games is not the manager but our last Owner who decimated the squad of players.Two of the Preston players on the pitch today were given away for free but would easily have made it into our starting 11 today.

I'm open minded to retaining him, if we get serious investment and can attract better or much better then great, but trying to seriously evaluate his performance and ability to compete in this league at this minute seems absolutely pointless as we're a million miles away from being competitive.

Sort of agree that hes had a tough hand ..but he is defo not taking is forward and as brutal as i might sound, when someone comes in with money, I want an experienced manager with a decent backroom that can get us up.

How can he take us forward when the best central defence he can put on the pitch is Palmer and Otegbayo. I expected us to get hammered. We lost by a single goal and some questionable decisions by the officials.

I would keep Pedersen and let him have a go with a decent squad. I can fully understand that others might think differently. It won't be up to us it will be the new owner who makes that decision. I just hope they have some knowledge of football and put together a decent squad for ther new manager.

A really good recruitment team would be a good investment as a starting point as well.

Yes i know we have poor players I've mentioned it...but even with our poor players i think Pedersons decision making with lots of things during games has been laboured and questionable.

For that reason, if im the new owner  would i risk him with buying and being in charge - short answer is no.

Totally get what you are saying ...but i have doubts about him, ive sort of seen glimpse now and then but yes poor players but we seem to be going backwards then at the start of the season.

Id rather go for someone else personally.

It's not worth worrying about. We are down and just playing out our fixtures.

Some good play today but if we can't score pens and then let the opposition have 2 free headers in our box for the 2nd goal then it's inevitable we will get beat every week
