Totally agree, ever wondered why Everton got shut of him.

Everton didnt get shut. Martinez rated him and they offered him a new contract but he asked to leave so he could go and play football.

He isn't shit by any stretch of the imagination. He is a young lad who is developing as a footballer and I've seen enough of him that if he shows the right attitude he could have a good future.

Shame with Earl for me, people are slating lads that are 18-20 and yet these same fans wonder where Ben Davies developed from after being written off at 18/19. I would certainly consider any offer over 8/9m for Pearson this summer, same for Robinson. Then we can rebuild the core of the side with stronger players to challenge the top 6 for a full season.
 
Pearson was just in the wrong place at the wrong time tonight ,it could have been anyone of our players .
His performance in the first half wasn't great ,imo, he just didn't get hold of the midfield .

Ben was learning his trade at the likes of York, Fleetwood etc. not the first team when they clearly aren't up to scratch right now ...
 
Just watched the highlights. It isnt even another yellow for me never mind a straight red. It will get overturned on appeal
 
Every single player, fan and management in the championship knows Ben Pearson and what he is like. The question is, Is he going to hold us back? yes he is probably the best ball player/tackler we have, but he is also the player who can affect games and not always in a good way. I firmly believe the time has come for us to part with Ben, as we can not afford to have a player spending a third of the season off the pitch, usually often due to his stupidity. I'm sure this has been talked about at Deepdale with AN and PR , they must have had enquiries during the last season and I'm sure a decision will have to be made, it will be a terrible wrench, but as we always say, we go again, rebuild and bring in new players.

Ledston learnt his trade in league one and two with Oxford and has had more experience at that (or any professional) level than either Pearson or Davies, so I think he is or will be ready with a run of games. Earl could possibly do with a loan out to a Morecambe or Accrington, but he is needed to cover for injuries here. Unless that changes he has to stay and do his development here.

Makes no difference from the fact he isn't up to standard, We need Johnson and Ledson playing at the same time to cover up for having Pearson out of the team and even then they don't look as good as him alone
 
Pearson has had numerous chances to demonstrate that he is trying to do something about his pathetic petulance. In particular the last two matches.
He is either a moron or he is intentionally continuing to invite the attention of these weak-minded referees.
I'm afraid that North End, as a club, is risking becoming a joke if it fails to deal with Pearson's incredibly egotistical behaviour. On numerous occasions against Leeds he repeated his behaviour during the Sheffield United match, which prompted Alan Browne to physically restrain Pearson and drag him away from the hot spot, to save Pearson, but, MOST IMPORTANTLY, Preston North End from ending up a man down against a top side.
For me, I've seen enough of this young man. If I were a team mate, I would have long since had a serious word with him.
That's as polite as I can put it.
 
Time to go Pearson. Simple as that.
I've had enough of this 'targeted by refs' and 'it's not his fault' malarkey.
The lad is a clown - constantly letting down the folk who spend hard earned money to watch him play, the management team and his teammates.
Would I want him as a teammate of mine? Not a chance!
 
3rd time he has been sent off against Leeds too. Utterly ridiculous. Fairly certain that's our 5th red in our last 6 games against them. BP 3, Ledson and Pickford
 
Pearson has to go. He is a great player to watch, but how many games has he missed for us due to his temperament? He is a premier league player but they will not touch him because of his stupidity and reputation. Referees now pick on him. Summer school with a psychologist or get rid.
 
If you need an example of how to play refs, look no further than Alioski tonight. He fouled, he smiled - no shouting at the ref, no waving his hands in the air, just a smile, maybe a shake of the head and walks back to his spot. He therefore got 4 or 5 fouls. Ben Pearson gets one or two because of his reputation which he has built up over the last few years and his complete inability to react to situations in a calm and composed way. It is so obvious it's like watching a car crash in slow motion every time he walks onto the pitch. If you treat refs like a cunt they are going to treat you like one and they are the ones with the power on the pitch. If the club haven't made him see a sports phsycologist well all I can say is that Ben should book himself into one as soon as he gets up tomorrow.

The only thing Ben will be booking now is his fortnight in Barbados.

He may be a decent ball player but he is by no means our best tackler. The reality is that he's a defensive midfielder who can't tackle. Almost every tackle he makes looks clumsy, he has a tendency to dive in, and always seems to be at full stretch. Add to that his petulance and persistent mouthing off at referees and you have one serious problem.
