Far too simplistic to blame last season on Berardi and that red card against Derby. Of course it didn't help in that game, but the reality is we should never have been in the playoffs at all, had the team as a whole, suffered jitters. My recollection of that run in was a team having loads of possession but failing to score and opposition consistently punishing us.

Lot of people blaming him for Derby defeat but I reckon ref didn't help him by ignoring he had been fouled at least twice when surrounded by 3 players before his lunge that got him sent off. The guy gives everything for the cause and should be rewarded. Maybe give him a year as player coach as I'm sure I read somewhere he was interested in going down that route

I may have said last week on a similar thread: Love Berra

Bielsa, Casilla, Cooper all made errors that night before Berardi did, having said that, we were back in the game before his rash challenge. We had no senior subs and probably would have gone onto lose anyway.

He's still here after the Cellino fiasco and has played well over 100 games for us and played well and pretty much all of em. Attitude > Ability

Fact is, when he comes in, he often plays as well as, or better than, the player he replaces. If you look for his weaknesses, you will find them. If you look to his strengths, you will be hard pressed to find a player who contributes more to the team.

I say keep him for defo for another season, he'll do well in the Premiership - if we go up ! He's mighty stuff, has the latin blood in him.

So unrealistic to think that an ageing make do and mend defender has the necessary skills to do well in the Premier League is quite frankly laughable and just shows how delusionalary people are.
If this is the level of people's ambition when we go up it is really worrying.

Berardi is a good player, but like I said back there somewhere, I don't think all players we now have will be there if we make the Premiership!..

Some will stay and some will go, but if things are done correctly better will be brought in!..

Shaun are you for real no senior subs Jannson was on. the bench and should have been brought on when Berardi got a yellow card so Bielsa totally to blame .Anyway onwards and upwards all will be forgiven if he gets us up this season.
