We're not worthy. Absolutely majestic second half particularly. MOM by a mile. Better than Gregan, McKenna.

I'm a massive fan of Ben, and can see why he was given MOM; but today I would have given it to Callum Robinson. He was outstanding, gave their defences problems all afternoon, and the pass for the goal really was exceptional.

It was a tough call between the two of them , both played totally different games , but pleased for robbo as he has taken some shit recently.

. Agree with this but Pearson is awesome
 
I just listened to the sheff Utd managers appraisal of the game. He was very complimentary towards Preston and Pearson in particular.

We really have got a gem on our hands with Ben.

Have to agree about robbo too. coming on leaps and bounds under AN.
 
Pearson was immense as always. However, anybody who knows the game knows that Ben Davies was man of the match by a mile. He's unspectacular but he played them off the park. Some player we have on our hands there.

Sign of a good player is that he just seems to be in the right place at the right time.

I said similar a couple of weeks back when AN put Ben at left back to accommodate Tom Clarke. He could be the best CH we’ve had in many years. We don’t want to hinder his progress by putting him at left back.

Ben Davies is a Rolls Royce. Just looks an absolute class act.

He's only 22. How many centre halves look this good at his age. We have a real player on our hands and I expect/fear that he won't go unnoticed by some big hitting clubs. When I watched him over here for York as an 18 year old he was superb and got their player of the season. I wonder now though, good experience though it was, might have set him back a bit. He played so well at left back that I think that might have swayed managers to play him there at a higher level. He isn't a natural left back and being exposed there set him back a couple of years.

Fair play to Uwe Rosler though, he got him in the right position and he knew just how good he was. He was desperately hoping we would release him but thankfully Grayson knew much better than that. Then Neil came in and luckily for Ben, Neil is a 'if you're good enough, you're old enough manager'.

The good thing is that he seems to love PNE as he’s extended his contract twice whilst out on loan. That speaks volumes imo.
 
Think my feelings on Pearson are clear enough from my username, best outfield player I've seen for us.

Ben Davies however was my MOTM. Watched him a few times for fleetwood last year and he was fantastic every time but I still didn't expect him to be as good as he has been. He's been just as good as John Stones was at Barnsley when everton signed him but he is a couple of years older than Stones was. One of the best CB's in the league in his current form.
