Hopefully Pearson is back on Saturday and due to him being our best player he has to go straight back in.
However I think AN is going to have to make a tough call as to who provides the width with Barkhuizen?
 
Based on Saturday I would expect it to be either Nmecha or DJ but all this does is further reduce the options we have from the bench.
 
I would not treat Pearson any differently to any other player coming back from injury. He is a human being, not a piece of meat. If he needs to be gently nurtured back into the side by gradually increasing his minutes played from the bench game by game then so be it.

This.

Lets not risk further injury.

Agree with this let's let the medical team and AN decide what's best, that said with the self inflicted 'rests' the lads had over recent seasons i'm pretty sure his bodies adapted by now 🙂
 
For me if your not proper fit you shouldn’t even be on the bench. Maguire came on from the bench for ROI and we know how that ended.
My guess is that Pearson just missed out on Saturday but will be fit for Millwall.
I was just pondering who would be wide right on Saturday because whoever misses out will feel a bit unlucky.

Maguire was 'fit' though to be fair. He'd been starting games for us when he came off the bench for Ireland. I don't think he's been mismanaged particularly, he's just very injury prone with those hamstrings.
 
If AN is here next season and we have another season of injures that would be three seasons on the bounce , that's a pattern and I will be calling for some kind of change or inquiry ! Ref Pearson if fit he plays

Was he injury prone at his former club ???????

Johnson can't be fully fit so it would make sense for him to be the one who misses out as he'll no doubt be needed over the Christmas and New Year period.
 
Gallagher has shouldered a lot of the responsibility recently and it must be taking it's toll on him, probably needs a rest.

We always seem to have a lot of injuries. I remember back in Gary Peter's day, I think it was, and we could cover every position including goalie, with an injured player being out.

I agree - if Pearson does indeed come back into the side this Saturday, you'd think it will be for Gallagher. What'e he done - 3 or 4 90 minutes in the space of two weeks or so?

It's top class from him.
 
Given DJ and Pearson are reported to be carrying similar injuries I wonder if the plan is to rotate the two of them to nurse them through.

I understand what your saying but the last two seasons do seem a tad exceptional, I dont remember in my 35 years supporting pne anything quite like this , having said that , I do believe red wine kills either brain cells or memory.

Wouldn't be shocked if it was Pearson & Ledson on Saturday.

DJ can't be 100% either.

I'd be surprised if Ledson was in the team over Gallagher, regardless of the fact that Gally has played so many minutes recently. Especially against Millwall at home; with a midfield three of Pearson, Ledson and Browne, you'd think we'd be playing Man City away or something.

Just dependent on fitness for me, don't want either DJ or Gally breaking down.
