Is there only me who shudders at the thought of Pearson playing centre midfield at Championship level?
Might do a decent job at stopping the opposition, can't say I have great confidence in his ability to retain possession though.

I think Mallan is shaping up to be a great tackler....IMHO Potts wins a lot of ball despite the hammer he gets on here....can't disagree about Moncur.
Moncur is just not a toiler. I like Potts, but he's more of an offensive player. He does put in some running. Mallon looks OK, but I don't think he'll be running box to box for 90 minutes. I expect we'll lose by 3 goals. As others have said the season won't be decided in one game. We'll have Gardner back the following week & Williams the week after. Would be nice if we got an experienced holding midfielder in before the weekend though.
