From Alex on the club website:

"“I thought it was Ben’s best game in a while. He is more than capable, in my opinion, of going in and dominating nearly every game that he plays in and we want to get that level of consistency from him every week."

What a game he had today. I sometimes think he's hyped up a bit by our fans but today he was something else. He really needs to give this level of performance consistently if he wants to play in the Premiership.
 
Great to hear... it was reported somewhere that he was playing with an illness / injury , so maybe he has come out at the other side of that now.

I have been critical of Pearson in the past but today he was fantastic. Combative, creative and showed how good he could be. This is the Pearson we miss so badly when he's out for 10 games a season due to suspension.
 
Passing was brilliant, underrated part of his game.

Little disappointed with breakway at the end. Just shot straight at Etheridge. Think there was also one with Gally. Shot weakly when another player was making a great run to the left of him.

Little bit more time to look up and see who else was around and that would've been a 0-1 today.

I think he’s been trying to adjust to playing differently to avoid the constant yellows. Just a feeling like

Tbf, I think it’s quite obvious we’d need to foster a player for two or three years before he came anywhere near to Pearson’s level.

Despite Justin’s protestations (which aren’t completely groundless), he’s immense.
 
Was outstanding today. Dominated every yard of the midfield and looked as good protecting the back four as supporting the forwards. At times his crossing and long passing has been poor but he put in some great balls today.
 
Unfortunately due to early kick off and the Post office still being REALLY busy I didn't see or listen to the game live but looking at the feedback since its really pleasing that Ben was back to his imperious best.
He can be good enough to be a regular starter in at least a Mid Table Prem Team- which hopefully will be with us.

Well worthy of his MOTM and great to see him driving us forward (at times).

He must read the forum.
 
I think it's absolutely vital we get him signed up on a new contract ASAP. Yes, his recent form may have been a bit patchy but yesterday just shows how important he is to the side.
 
Awesome yesterday - as good as he was at QPR last season.
Where is he up to with bookings/suspensions? Lost track, what with him, Darnell and, now, Rafferty joining the club.
