Pearson is definitely not a right back, especially when faced with pace (which even Rotherham have). I thought he looked quicker than usual yesterday; has he lost some weight and/or
been working on his pace? The idiot fans who boo their own players are uneducated yobos. At least Pearson always gives 100%, but you would think that
(over the years) he would have done
extra training on distribution. But perhaps he has, and can't improve anymore.

Too early to comment, yesterday was far from acceptable but he has shown signs in previous games. He definitely has more idea than Moore. More idea than Moore perhaps but I would argue less ideas than Worthington who actually had us attacking in games. He had a clear philosophy. We’d lose some games no doubt but we’d have won some. I don’t see how we’re going to score let alone win under Breitenreiter. He seems to be working out his players and his tactics and or setting up defensively and trying to nick a goal. It’s what most managers would do if they didn’t know the players or the league - and we can’t afford that with 8 games to go and by far our easiest chance for 3 points went begging yesterday with what I’d say was the worst performance of the season. Draws are practically worthless to us at this stage. I just think we’re a little too hasty in criticising when we turn in a poor performance like yesterday and too quick to praise when we turn in a decent one like the one against leeds when the fact is we’re a poor to middling team who will sometimes perform ok but more often than not will not be very good. It’s too early to say on AB, it was laughable when supporters were labelling him being another Wagner but equally I would be surprised if he turns out to be Siewart Mk 2. Whatever, he’ll be here at least til the last ball of this season is kicked, we just have to hope there are more good days and less bad days in the coming weeks. |

He’s a limited player but he if he wasn’t, he would be playing for a better team. |

He's definitely not a right back. Doesn't have the pace or the creativity. As an opposition coach you'd back your wide players to beat him for pace and you'd be equally happy if he's getting the ball close to the touchline under pressure. Non of those are really his fault though. Managers shouldn't be putting him there especially when we've got options right across the back line. |

I wonder how many points Pearson playing at right back has cost us? You know those games where he gets roasted by a quality winger time after time and the oppositions goals come from our right hand side?
I bet it's ZERO. And he's come up against some quality left wingers.
If you've watched us all season it's a really weird conclusion to draw, that Pearson and Lees are to blame for the league position and threat of relegation.
Wish our strikers and midfielders were as effective as those two, not to mention coaches, because if they were we'd be mid table at least.

Draws are practically worthless to us at this stage. There is no way the players could play at the tempo that Worthington had them playing at 2x a week for the remainder of the season. They were running on empty after 75 mins of each game. Also, it's a style that other coaches can fund ways to counteract it if that ìs all we do. AB needs to find the right balance but as Warmock said and the players have shown time and again, we are pretty crap with the ball and part of that is players not making themselves available to the guy with the ball. |

I accept that, but I felt it could’ve got us 3 wins and they might’ve been enough subject to Brum… who I see have reappointed Rowett. I’m hoping that won’t work for them. |

Lees and Pearson are both somewhat limited now but give 100% week in week out. Contrast that with a similar hogg/ward, a regressing rudoni/koroma, an invisible radulovic and diarra who cant even get a game right now.....theres where the real issue lies for me. If they were more effective on a regular basis then the stress on the defensive lads reduces and we climb the table. |

And provided that, when he is given the ball, and the opposition drop off, and he is tempted to drive some exquisite Moore-esque pass upfield, he just gives the bloody ball to someone who knows what to do with it. Otherwise, a great game today MP. |

You know with MP he will give everything and defend for his life. Until Helik is back/ back in form MP,Spencer and Nige are our back three IMO. |

Love Matty Pearson😍. Plays from the heart and gives 109 per cent. Seems he was written off at the start of the season but when the chips are down you know he can be relied upon. Having him as captain has worked and long may it continue.

When he first started playing for us he looked virtually non league standard to me. Give him his due he improved massively during his second season with us. He'll never be a Beckenbauer but he should be a solid performer at league 1 level against most teams. I think he's probably more comfortable as a central defender but if he's coping at right back then fair dos.

Having him as captain has worked and long may it continue. I first read this post about four hours ago and since then I’ve struggled to think about anything other than why you chose to go with 109 per cent. |

Yes, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen 109% Perhaps it’s a blend between 100% and 110% … maybe Pearson is 1% short of hyperbole status. Very clever from the OP I like it. Who else will be joining the 109% club? |

I'm sure it was finger slip, the last digit supposed to be 0 but he hit 9.
Anyway, Matty has had some really disrespectful posts on this board lately, he's been a really good player for us, he knows his limitations as a footballer but his effort & commitment should never be questioned.

Personally, I don't think there's much between Pearson and Helik as the centre of a three. And both offer a threat up front. Either of them in between two with pace would work fine in this league IMO.
