I didnt get to Ashton Gate, but can those who did settle the discussion that started when we effectively swapped Brownhill for Pearson a couple of years ago? I dont think Josh will ever get Bens energy and aggresion, but Ben already has more than enough skill to outplay Josh. Perhaps the only area Josh is better is his shooting, especially set pieces.

You're comparing apples with pears.
 
Brownhill has done well for himself to become a regular in the Bristol side but it's not even a debate for me.

Brownhill got 1 goal in 32 games last season, Pearson got 1 in 33 so maybe his shooting isn't even better...
 
As Tino says it’s not even a debate.

Lee Johnson said himself that we taught Bristol City a lesson in midfield.

You could’ve been forgiven for forgetting that Brownhill was even playing.

When was this a discussion? They are worlds apart.
 
Brownhill essentially just retains possession for Bristol City and he does a decent job of that. Pearson is a bit more clumsy on the ball, but is essentially a completely different player and does offer more. That said, I don't think they'd work particularly badly together.

When Ben came and Josh left some on here said that we'd let the better player go. I rated them both, but from day one Ben has been brilliant for us, and contributes far more than Josh did. He is a consistent 7-8-9 out of 10 performer.

Consistent 7-8-9 performer? Hahaha
 
If they had stayed both Brownhill and Wright might now be useful members of our first team squad. But they chose to go and we march on without them.
