On the Football League show last night Pearson was described as ‘the best number 6 in the Championship ‘. In yesterday’s game he seemed to come out of almost every challenge with the ball at his feet. His distribution was excellent, and no yellow card. If he was substituted for a case of cramp, hopefully he can continue his fine form against Middlesbrough on Tuesday.
 
He literally had to be forced off that pitch by the management team, yesterday. We really have a player here.

They quoted Alex Neil
he said it to the press
Colin Murray and Steven Warnock just elaborated on it
 
Agree with all the above. Please God he remains OUR player post January. And continues to keep his mouth shut

Yeah and they made a point of it "Alex Neil has said Ben Pearson is the best number 6 in the division"

We have known for some time that he IS the real Deal. One of the best players to put on a white shirt in my 50+ years supporting

I agree.

You could see his class in his first game and he's developed into a fantastic player.

Hope we can keep hold of him in January but I'm sure that in the not too distant future he'll be a Premiership player

The club have massively stepped up their social media this season.

A bloody good one at that.

I think we where 4-1 up at the time which eptimomises the fella.

Not long after that he was so tired he could hardly run but still didn't want to go off.

Ben Pearson is a brilliant footballer at this level and could be one of best midfielders we have had for many many years. Enjoy it whist it lasts.

It was only 2-1 when he put that tackle in. But regardless, he does it for 90 mins each week no matter what the score is. I think the only thing missing from his game is chipping in with the odd goal.

I actually think he's more than capable of adding it too. He's athletic enough and often gets into advanced positions on the edge of the box. Just lacks a bit of confidence once he gets there. If he develops the kind of swagger that Gregan had and starts popping a few goals in, then we'll really struggle to keep hold of him.

For me, he is the best number 6 in the league, and by a distance too. One of the best midfielders I've seen in my 30 years watching North End. A joy to watch.

He was outstanding yesterday but above all he was disciplined.

This is spot on....he was the most in control that I have seen, makes a massive difference to his game.
 
You can get the ball but still commit a foul these days if its deemed you were reckless/dangerous in doing so. In that case it looked "hard but fair" to me however.
