Hmm, didn’t think it was his best game tonight for sure.
Said on another thread, can see why Neil uses him in that role for his running and pressing, particularly at away games.
However, in games like tonight when we’re not really pressing and we’re on the front foot more with more possession, he becomes a bit of a passenger in that role because he isn’t very technical/creative and looks like he doesn’t have a clue what to do when running forward with the ball.
Mind you, some of our out and out attackers look like that at the moment too.

I like the lad for his endeavour, and he pulls out a last ditch tackle now and again, but he frustrates the hell out of me with the final ball. He's just not got the technical side of the game for this level to be a No10. And he gets wrong side too many times defensively to be good in front of the back four.

Our most improved player this season, great again last night, it was between him and Gally for MoM. Showing a lot more maturity under Neil and finally starting to show some football intelligence. Not a technical player but great engine and attitude. Well done Big Al 🙂
Thought his distribution was terrible, winning the ball back and working in confined spaces he was bang on.

Comedy is not your best feature.
Pearson would not have been playing tonight if it wasn’t for Brown.
There was an incident in the second half at Ipswich where Pearson totally lost his rag, Browne kept him from going back to confront the player, keeping hold of him and talking to him.
Both are very very good players and are just getting better and better.

Ben Pearson and Alan Brown are quite simply two of our better players without doubt. Alan Brown is definitely most improved player this season and if Ben Pearson improved he wouldn’t be playing in the championship at all. We are lucky to have them both in my view.

Completely agree. Looks like both Pearson and Browne are going to become very good players.
Agreed with most of this. I'd say he's more important than person in many ways. They're definitely our best midfield pair. 4-4-2 for the next game.

Not creative enough in the 10 role at home games, more suited to it at away games with the pressing and harrying.
He's certainly stepped up to the mark this season though after he seemed to stall last season.

agree Browne must be one of the first names on the team sheet now. had a cracking game last night.

Agreed - maybe for home games Gallagher should play there or even Harrop though if we do finally bring in that further combative central midfielder we need to partner Pearson in the 2 then Johnson would also become an option.

Alan Browne. Win it, pass it to Pearson. Repeat.
