Former Coventry City defender Stuart Pearce has been slammed by Danny Mills.

Speaking to Radio 5 Live, Mills said about Pearce, who is manager of Nottingham Forest: "Pearce always starts well but goes off the boil. He is very predictable. "After 10 games people work him out."

Forest have dropped to thirteenth in the Championship table and Mills said: "Stuart Pearce came into Manchester City and had a fantastic 'Honeymoon Period' and then went wrong - and did the same with the England Under-21s.

"He comes in, everyone says 'wow, it's Stuart Pearce, legend! Psycho' and all of that and he has that instant respect.

"He gets teams going but after a while, players aren't stupid, they're not naive and they start to suss him out. He doesn't have the depth of football ability to back it up.

"Actually, he is not a great coach, he's not a great tactician, he's not a great motivator and he struggles with big players who question his authority."
