Then he has signed, retaihed and picked completely the wrong players in midfield and the bizarre thing is that midfield is where he has done most of his work and he has somehow managed to get it so badly wrong. Watkins is a striker style winger so when he's playing scowen has to stay deep to cover the full backs, Pearson doesn't know what anything but the safe zone looks like and more often than not hourihane is covering the other full back. That does NOT leave 5 players attacking and the sole reason is poor squad selection due to signing the wrong players and focusing entirely on signing a squad of Pearson clones. One up front also relies heavily on the lone striker holding the ball up for the others to come into play. Sam winnall is not good at this. When we defend we are outnumbered because scowen has again gone wide to cover the full backs and colace number two has just watched the ball sail past him
