I note that Matt Pearson was substituted today and that Ethan Pinnock was his replacement. How well did anyone think that Ethan performed alongside Liam Lindsay?
I thought he had a very good game - looked a little raw when he came on, but quickly got up to speed. Teamed up well with LL. Worth an extended run, looked steadier than Pearson.
That’s a positive. Reckon he’ll be a reight player when fully up to speed with requirements of league football. With Jackson looking very good before his injury, and hopefully McDonald gets back to his best we’re good at centre back in the longer term. Short term an experienced centre back may help - take the pressure off and help Lindsey and Pinnock adjust. McDonald and Jackson are both relatively young and inexperienced. Could have 4 cracking CBs given time. Likewise if we get the right Centre Midfield. That’s where I reckon we should be looking to invest in January. Someone the whole team can work around, set the tempo. Reckon we would see even more from Williams with a bit of guidance & leadership next to him. That goes for whole team really.
