Man of the match 2 games running. Not bad for a loan player who's no better than James Bailey. Same again Saturday Ben. COYR!
I wouldn't have made him man of the match. Good header off the line which would probably have seen us beaten. Crowley was way better. Mawson had a very good game too.
I think if the stones money comes in,we should have a real go at getting him....He will be so far down the pecking order at United
no , he only tackled, passed, blocked, ran himself to a standstill, cleared one off the line, set up attacks, controlled midfield etc... Pearson motm by a mile!!
Agree with this view. Crowley was excellent, a class above. Pearson was good at mopping up and closing down, but shooting needs work. One shot from 20 yards sailed over the bar, which was similar to many of his shots in the warm-up, many of which were far too high. Needs practice at keeping shots low.
Everyone tackled. He passed sideways and backwards a lot. Didn't run as much as Scowen (if thats your measure) and often took pace out of the attack. If Crowley hadn't been on the pitch, we'd have lost. He truly ran himself into the ground breaking forward, and tackling and holding the ball and spraying it around. Pearson was often way too close to the centre halves and for most of the first half aside from the goal, we largely played in our half. Largely down to him. He had a solid game. But I'd rather persist with Abbott or Digby to do that role, especially with Scowen there too. Just my personal view like.
I like Pearson would have been nowhere near mom on Saturday. close call last night either him or Crowley. Really needs to improve his forward passing and shooting.
Crowley was impressive but doesn't know how to tackle. Pearson in first half was below par in my eyes, I agree he was very close to Mawson and Roberts but 2nd half rapidly improved. My concern is though we are playing a player who it's unlikely we are going to be able to keep
You never know, we might just be able to keep Pearson. He's not going to get into the Man Utd team, but the danger is that a Championship team comes in for him. If we get money from a Stones deal or got promoted then we'd be in with a shot
I just think it's a good sign when we can't agree on the MOTM after an away game. Says to me that there's more than one player on the field who's putting a shift in which can only mean one thing - Onwards & Upwards!
I still can't believe anyone other than Scowen got man of the match on Saturday. Can only assume it's because there's only about 5 people in the ground can get a signal during the match
Scowen is regularly the best player on the pitch. If Pearson is championship standard Scowen had got to be PL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I can't remember Scowen not putting in at least a 7 out of 10 performance every time since he joined us, he's always one of our 2 or 3 best performers & often the best. Hourihane, Winnall & now Pearson seem to get talked about more but if we could only keep one player from our squad it'd be Scowen for me
