    He was very poor first half but I thought he improved a lot in the second. I wouldn't be going out of my way to get him back next season.

    My thoughts exactly today MK, except for the 'a lot' part.

    We get it so badly with premiership loans. I don't know if their mindset is they are too good for us so they don't put the effort in but he's no better than Shea, Frimpong etc before him. I hope in the summer we stick to guys we haven't heard of before or from the lower leagues because guys like Houriane, Scowen, and Winnall are our better players.

    I thought he was poor first half but much better second half. Showed glimpses of premier league quality. He's also got something that we're seriously lacking throughout the rest of the team... pace.

    Cardiff aren't in the Premier League. Just saying like.

    Right player, wrong time. He's clearly a talented lad, having been a fixture for Cardiff in their promotion season and first half of the Prem season. But whether he's rusty, unfit or just well off form I don't know. Not contributing much at the moment and as said above, yet another Premiership loan that has simply not worked out for us.

    I should have worded it better. Plenty of premiership and international experience should be pissing this league. Can't imagine he's much future left at Cardiff. Our form dipped the moment he arrived.

    He's never been and never will be a left back. He would be brilliant on the wing in my opinion. I didn't go today as I wasn't feeling upto it so I gave my mate my season ticket and he said the exact same.

    Today is first time he's played on the wing isn't it? That's his original and natural positions. Playing at the back is what Cardiff converted him to do and he admired he doesn't reach his full potential there.

    He's been **** at left back so god knows why Johnson thought he'd be any good on the right wing

    If he thinks the wing is his best position then I suggest he retrains. As a plumber or painter

    He played on the wing today and was only marginally more effective than at full back. Awful first half, slightly better second. I've not seen anything in him yet.

    He's ******* wnak. And it's not like he's our ******* wnak, he's someone else's ******* wnak, but we're stupid enough to play him. We may as well play a goldfish. Without the bowl. And Pearson is not much better. If we're going to play *****, let's play our own *****.

    Frimpong and Shea>Pearson and John. And Frimpong and Shea were the worst players I'd ever seen play for our club.

    You been on the beer?

    I'm not as sold on Pearson as many but he's been decent. Seems barmy to compare him to Frimpong & Shea

    I'm not keen on him. Trying to work out how he made 20+ appearances in the prem for Cardiff last season
