Ben Pearson

Ben Pearson

Thought Potts did well yesterday. Fact is we need to be able to perform without Pearson. Hopefully the lads will step up. Get well soon Ben!

I didn't shit the bed when I heard Pearson was out, as you so politely put it.I think most would agree we are a stronger and better team with him in the side.
The next month will show how much we either miss him or don't.

But (oh god help me) are we as progressive?
He does have a habit of pushing the ball sideways when forward would be better and has had many an opportunity to shoot but chooses to pass.
Extraordinarily harsh an observation I’m sure but an observation non the less

Potts did ok yesterday looked positive and drove forward.
But he's working from a very low base.
As I said yesterday he's been shite all season and with 10games to go we're all excited he played ok for 60mins. Yet Josh harrop with 8 goals and 2 assists in all competition this season gets a thread cause he took a shit corner.

You run the risk of being reasonable here my friend

You posted we could have won, but we didn't because we did not score again, whether with or without Pearson, we have an issue scoring and especially via our forwards.
Goal difference may also play a part in who ends up in that sixth position and ours is slowly and steadily decreasing.

ywt still better than most of those chasing us.... so either their forwards cant score either or their defences have been worse...

At least we cant worry about or strikers 'stopping scoring' as they havent done all season..... with a huge slice of luck they MAY even start scoring.....and if Sinclair does as well then who knows we might end up not getting relegated !!
 
I watched the highlights on Quest and we seemed to be unlucky....

Nothing could be done with the Nugget own goal and their second came right at the death as we were pushing for an equaliser..
In between we had some decent chances...

Fans came across really loud on the telly as well...

We are unlikely to match the GD of any teams above us,even if we could match their points tally,but one of the chasing pack has turned around a massive GD disadvantage to their advantage !

I agree Edgy,but his work rate, defensive abilities,breaking up attacks,challenging and blocking shots make up for his lack of forward creativity ?
 
So in Pearo's absence yesterday, what do we read into Ledson's non-selection (or even non-appearance off the bench)?
 
4 weeks is the absolute bare minimum for a hamstring its usually 6-8 being sensible.

That said he’s already missed 1 week so 5 weeks from now is a good bet, there is an international break as well so I would guess they are aiming for sheff w away and more likely forest home i would guess.

Potts was excellent yesterday, 3 or 4 driving runs, broke up play quite well and physically dominant in midfield.

Not his fault that when he bursts through, our two wide players are making runs that wouldn’t look out of place in an under 8s game.

I don't really even know what that means to be honest. Yeah he was ok yesterday but theres only 10 games of the season left - where's he been for the rest of the season?

It's upto himself to get in the team and take a shirt. About time he showed us what he's capable of, I think there's a good player in there but we just aren't seeing it anywhere near regularly enough or near the standard required.

Why is your reaction to him playing well to just point at games in which he has played badly? Fisher aside he was our best player yesterday and hopefully he is able to continue that performance level in the run in.

You’ve quite correctly identified the injustice of going after Harrop who had very little to do with us losing the game. However then you proceeded to focus your anger on an arguable MOTM contender, bizarre

Maybe you should see that although ive said he played ok yesterday that this is only one game in a long season where the rest of it he has contributed the grand total of zero assists and zero goals for an attacking midfielder that's pretty shite. Even billy bodin has contributed more.

He's the perfect profile for that center forward we've been looking for and never going to buy too.
