He is good at this level for sure, lacks consistency and plays side to side too much for me, comparisons with Finney are ridiculous, it seems like you need only a few good games these days to reach legend status
a stand out player in the championship but maybe not so in the premiership hence there isn’t a queue a mile long as there are many better from foreign lands - our gain though

Keep saying that, it might keep the big clubs from trying to steal him.
 
I include clubs in the category of Notts Forest, Villa, Derby, Leicester, Leeds and upwards- clubs with a bigger fan base some with parachute payments-city based clubs. Begrudgingly Bournemouth, Burnley, Watford- in the prem with a similar fan base. I agree not the likes Liverpool, Man City etc.

Ok
And there lies the rub. Any of those teams play a much different game to us, the defensive midfield is not as common
He has found a niche at PNE and that’s to our benefit but I do t think to others he is not the commodity they may think he is?
And just once more for luck (not aimed at you at all) must we have to endure the “he is a legend” stuff until a player has actually been with us long enough and can show a few gongs on the way

He wouldn't have got anywhere near Finney and would have spent all day chasing Sir Tom's shadow.

It’s not fair to compare - the game is much faster and the players much fitter these days.

I think that the comparison is daft anyway given that they are two different types of player.

I never saw Finney play, but millions of people can’t be wrong.....

I hope you're right and I'll take your word on that, I don't know the detail around the tactics of too many other teams. But agree players get over hyped. Robinson was just beginning to look the finished article when he moved to the premiership. In my view he needed at least another season with us to fully establish himself as a top Championship player-I it would have benefitted everybody, the player, us and whichever new club which chose to sign him.
 
He was excellent yesterday - especially in the second half. Part of me wishes that he'd push on with the ball a bit more but I understand why he's reluctant to do so. He was fortunate to have been given a free kick in front of the Town End after about a minute - could have cost us that and appeared to be a dive when there was no real need for it.

J'd love to see Pearson get up the pitch more. His decision making on the counter is usually spot on. Would this leave us weaker defensively? It seems to be all about systems these days. I'm sure these thoughts have crossed Alex Neil's mind.

Pearo also looks like he is learning all the time. I think Neil encourages players to work on their weaknesses as well as their strengths. This is the advantage of having a settled manager in the club. He has time to set a long term plan into motion. He made Robinson super fit and a yard quicker, for certain. Green, albeit scoring elsewhere now(!) is reaping the rewards of good coaching.

Hopefully, Harrop can iron out his occasional decision making errors and we see the midfield 3 of Browne, Pearo and Harrop become a very exciting force.
With Stockley’s lay off talent, surely now is the time for Stockley, with DJ and Barky off him?
 
Pearson is indeed very good. I suspect he has not moved to a Prem club yet because of two things:
- his disciplinary record (80%)
- his lack of forward contribution (20%)

Discipline is much better this season and I think I see glimpses of more forward intention.

Sinclair only a short term thing then?
