He was suspended for the cup game against Doncaster. It was a 4 game suspension for his second red.

Not that it matters, but most stat sites claim he missed a game. But doesn't change the stats on results without him. But any players reading this, don't worry about it, time to put the record right. 2 wins coming up

IMO Not a chance!

Firstly, we're 3 games short of the amnesty - if he'd got to that then there'd have been almost nothing to worry about.

Secondly, the next two games are crucial - lose on Saturday and the end of season run in hardly matters so worthless 'saving himself' for that. Bristol City are 6pts ahead of us - and also have 2 games in hand. Boro are 10 points ahead of us and also have one game in hand on us.

But maybe he could have been carrying an injury ...?

Ramos is in a similar position to Pearson at PNE.

He knows he will always get back in the first team after any ban.

He probably wouldn't sign a new contract with big financial penalties for indiscipline.

Ramos will probably not learn until he moves to a bigger club.

You mean bigger than Real Madrid? Which clubs are they then.

Ramos is a born winner. Three champions league medals in a row yet has 25 red cards in his career.

Pearson is a brilliant player. Of course he is going to get back in the team he is that good.

Pearson is our best player and it really is quite that simple. He dictates games for us and sniffs out danger better than any midfielder ive seen at Deepdale. He is however a tad stupid, but liability- not a chance. Of his cards this season im pretty sure not all have been warranted But his reputation goes before him.

For the game saturday I think id give Ledson the nod based solely on keeping the current shape in that we have a dedicated CDM who adds the bite to midfield.

Is it that simple ?
He is a good player, but Is he our best
The measure cannot be by talent alone as you can be the worlds best ever talent but if you don't have a matching ability in behaviour you are no use to anyone sat watching or self destructing?
We have other players who whilst may not have that raw talent put in 100% effort every week with discipline and in some cases score the odd goal here and there
lets see what happens over the next few games then make more of a measure regarding our alleged best player
 
Pearson big loss. Without doubt.

I hope Bristol City are underestimating Ledson as much as we are.

Prediction? 2 years from now Ledson will be as crucial to North End as Pearson.

If other players step up to plate and we do well over the next couple of games and show we are no one trick pony it would be a relief to me .
It cannot be healthy for PNE to appear to be so reliant on one player, these 2 games could go a long way to showing that things have changed and we aren't anymore.

Exactly
Football is all about taking your chances when you can and as you say stepping up to the plate
I like Pearson, i respect his ability and can see past his behaviour - but with a very large tin hat on do not think he is the be all and end all
 
I wish he was playing today, with him I think we'd have won comfortably. Without him it's going to be a struggle.

Ledson played well today. DJ was the change that didnt work. Easy with hindsight I suppose, but I hope we don't play Gally or DJ out wide next week.

Did todays game tell you how good he is without playing it showed how good he is. Yes he is our best player and if you can't see that maybe another sport might be better for you.
 
Enormous miss today. Not just his ability to run games but he also brings out the best in Gallagher, Johnson, Browne.
I thought Ledson did well...he's just simply nowhere near as good as Pearson.

I think Edgy made a very point, I certainly understood it.

Did we miss Pearson today?

Absolutely we did but I think a lot of it was in the way we tried to compensate for that loss by packing midfield as opposed to starting with a like for like replacement with Ledson. I felt DJ, Browne and even Gallagher didnt look comfortable today with the roles they were asked to play.

Spot on, this is something his detractors seem to miss.

When he doesn’t play suddenly Gally, Browne etc don’t look quite as good anymore.

People get frustrated and annoyed with his discipline so in turn try to rationalise that he’s overrated.

Best player we’ve had in 20 years, results with/without him prove that
