Before he played for Luton, Pearson was mostly a right back. He played there a couple of times under Carlos as well. Could definitely be a solution to our lack of solidity in that position while Turton is injured. Would it be better utilising him like that and keeping a settled defensive partnership? Or is he that much better than Lees and Helik? I thought that last season on the whole, although he was outstanding at times, he was the weakest of our main three centre backs. This. I can see him adding some solidity to the right of our defence, and I can see him offering cover/competition for Helik and Lees for the CB/RCB berth. It's never a bad thing to have a player back from injury but I don't see his return being a turning point for the season. |

Old manned Clarke last night, couple of solid challenges early on and he wasn't interested in going anywhere near Pearson.

They moved Clarke into the middle late on & sent 'Kung Fu' (aka Mundle-should have seen red) but that failed too.......Lets not forget Matty also chipped in with the winner, edging MoM for me. |

He did a number on their (probably) most dangerous player. Nullified Clarke which greatly aided the clean sheet.

couldnt tell from the south stand, but did pearson accidently go down Clarkes achilles after about 15 mins?
thought he put in a great shift but was well supported by Rudoni too.

He certainly did..I think thousands saw it but not the 4 officialsš¤« Rudoni given the job on Clarke which he did excellently up to the subs being made. It being Matty marking Clarke was immaterial, whoever it was would/should be given that cover. Thought together they worked it very well. |

He seems to take the extra responsibility is his stride. Still can't pass it, but stopping the opposition is his job & he's been on it the last couple of games. |

If Balker is fit to play any part in the next 5 games, its an idea.. Perhaps it may be better to have the covering pace in full back areas??š¤ Balker and Spencer also being better on the ball than any other of our full back options.? |

Matty did today what he does best, he won his battles in defence & caused them a few problems from our set pieces. He's been a really good player for us.

Godawful with the ball today I thought. Opinions eh? I thought the wind improved his passing a bit. Great defender and cost us nothing to sign. The positives still outweigh the negatives I reckon, as much as I cringe when the ball is at his feet. |

The positives still outweigh the negatives I reckon, as much as I cringe when the ball is at his feet. Football fans are a weird bunch, aren't we? So many times players like Sorba, Rudoni and in days gone by VLP have been branded a "luxury player" because they don't do the hard grafting, and just the headline-grabbing flair stuff. Pearson (and to an extent Hogg) are the opposite, great at the defensive side of the game but not at their best once they win the ball. But you'd never hear anyone say Pearson was a "luxury player". |

Godawful with the ball today I thought. Opinions eh? Love Matty P - gives 100% every match. Not the world's best passer of the ball but IT SHOULDN'T BE HIS JOB. The number of times he gets the ball, looks up, and there's not a soul anywhere near him to pass it to. He HAS to welly it up the field (for,today,Bojan or Berzorg to get beaten in the air). Where the hell are our midfield players coming back to receive the ball and take responsibility ? If, for example, Kasumu isn't hiding he invariably gets the ball from our central defenders AND IMMEDIATELY PASSES IT BACK TO THEM. If he does attempt a forward pass, it invariably goes to the opposition. Matty P also scores, or causes, some of our goals. Matos,Kasumu etc don't. |

There's no-one better than Pearson in the air in both boxes - combination of strength and desire.
There are few worse on the deck - when strength and desire don't help you out much.
Today's game was tailor-made for Matty - the wind and the tense situation took 'football' out of the equation.

Got to agree when he's in a back 4 able to do his job ,defend, there are not many better in this league yes he is limited in other areas but aa said others should be taking it from him, this is where we miss an O'brien type player who can get the ball from him on the half turn and advance positively rather than panic and pass it back to him to then have to lump it. We really don't help ourselves at times. |

The way the game is today means that your defenders have to be able to pass it to a half decent standard as nearly every team is building from the back. For this reason I would not be offering him another contract as it drives me close to murder watching him pass it worse than some fat blokes on Leeds Rd playing fields on a Sunday morning |

For this reason I would not be offering him another contract as it drives me close to murder watching him pass it worse than some fat blokes on Leeds Rd playing fields on a Sunday morning Saturday showed we have a few players who struggle with basic control and passing . Kasumu had one near the touch line at Kilmer bank side where he had time the ball was still and he had a simple 5 yard pass and still managed to pass it into touch, and I like him just elements that are are at times outstandingly poor for this level. As for the fatty comment , and Iām not fat. A fiotballers passing skills are nothing to do with weight , maybe latter in a game the stamina issues could contribute to a tied pass š |
