Pearson - Absolute liability
Yes, his actions sometimes raise the question as to whether he's a full shilling but I'd rather have him for 80% of the season than for none of it should he be sold. He's not a one man team either btw. He's a very good player in a good team.
Ledson hopefully fired up and able to show he's a good replacement.I would just love Ledson to come in and play a couple of blinders, it might just be a wake up call if Pearson finds himself sitting on the bench.
Better to miss these two games get the suspension out of the way in time for the run up to Easter and really tough matches v scum Leeds, borough etc.
A necessary sacrifice.
I bet every team in the championship would have him despite his record. We are lucky he is ours.

Flawed genius. I'm glad he's our flawed genius though

Ben Pearson is absolute quality, he's a knob no doubt! Bur one thing is for sure we won't see a player as good as he is with the money we pay etc, personally i love him i love his passion his desire, his tenacity. Before long he'll be gone and we'll be lost without him. Lets just accept it.

My thoughts as well.Ledson should have been brought on in the last two games to give him some game time instead of having now to come in cold as it will now be if he is selected rather than Johnston who in my opinion would be a liabilty playing in Pearsons position.I would just love Ledson to come in and play a couple of blinders, it might just be a wake up call if Pearson finds himself sitting on the bench.
I don't want him to go but absolutely do not accept that we'll be lost without him.Ben Pearson is absolute quality, he's a knob no doubt!

He was doing a good job of keeping himself in check. Then they started kicking lumps out of him and he got very little protection from the ref. So he reverted to type.
Lad needs to learn to keep his gob shut but I don't half love him

Championship is fine margins, for sure he makes the difference, we currently have a great squad take him out and we won't be the force we ar!!I don't want him to go but absolutely do not accept that we'll be lost without him.
Pearson is our best player!
He is also a bit of a idiot!
I’m irritated by the nature of his booking but I’m not sure he is ever going to learn.
Two huge games coming up and we will miss him, let’s hope it’s not too much and others can step in.
Is he our best player ?
Effort and ability are not in doubt but shouldnt attitude / behaviour also be considered when discussing attributes do and dont make for an all round talent
Thus based on his erratic behaviour I'd suggest he isn't our best player as all to often he simply cannot play due to unnecessary bans ?
So may I attempt to trump your Pearson with a Gallagher for best player ?

Gallagher great player no doubt, does he have the effect on games ben pearson has? No not in my opinion!!!! Different players, but ben pearson is a player we could not replace IMO.Is he our best player ?

Assuming it's Ledson in his place, let's hope he steps up to the responsibility.Gallagher great player no doubt, does he have the effect on games ben pearson has? No not in my opinion!!!! Different players, but ben pearson is a player we could not replace IMO.
I agree my friendGallagher great player no doubt, does he have the effect on games ben pearson has? No not in my opinion!!!! Different players, but ben pearson is a player we could not replace IMO.
Very different players for sure but whilst Pearson does give everything and anything to a game in horsepower Gallagher offers a different dimension such as set pieces and from what I see a definite control of a game at times
Now imagine Pearson with a Gallagher attitude ?
He won't and that is the problem, will now be missing for probably the two most important games of our season, through sure stupidity, maybe the manager should have taken him off beforehand, because it was obvious what was going to happen.First of all....best player on the park today by a country mile.
BUT....yet again another stupid booking. You can understand players getting booked for mis-timed tackles. But yet again Ben gets booked for kicking the ball away....in the 85th min whilst we are 3-1 up.
And then later on starts mouthing off and Clarke has to push him away and you can visibly see Clarke say to Davies...keep him away. Then in the 89th min, they get a free kick and Ben starts to do kick ups with the ball whilst walking away...the lad just cannot help himself or be trusted.
He now misses arguably the two most important games of the season this far.
Well done Ben - when are you going to learn?
Great player but no team can afford to have one of the main players in the engine room missing for 10 games a season due to suspension.
But can't do what Pearson does, so massive problem.He'll never learn.
Basically, he is a daft lad.
DJ to play in his place in the next 2 games for me.
