This has confirmed to me that we are just a mid table championship team

What did Gardner do? Give the ball away in our own final third? (Genuinely don't know as not watching) Standard I'm afraid

The galling thing is, if we'd appointed Pearson as our manager in the summer, we'd have won the league by now.

And the Champions League, plus challenging for the La Liga title.

Quite right.

Sergeant Major Pearson could have just turned up, punched Lescott in the face and the title would have been ours.

Oh dear. Sub subbed. I know there are mitigating circumstances but that's not good.

You've got to question his inclusion in the first place.

That's the point RDM was making yesterday. We have no depth at all at that position and very little genuine quality, McCormack aside.

RHM has to be worth a go.

I think the key thing here is the difference between a player being worth a go and worth relying on.

I'd agree RHM is the sort of player who deserves a chance, but rely on him playing enough of a part to deliver all the options we need up front? That'd be nuts. That's the sort of mistake we've made over and over these last five years or so.

As a sub in a game away from home when you're main striker has been taken off? I think it would be the perfect opportunity. No one says he has to play every game. Lord knows he has the talent.

Sorry, I thought you were talking in general terms re our options up front.

Unless I've missed anything, he lunged in and conceded a free kick just outside our penalty box.
