I rate Pearson, and understand what he's trying to do with scant resources, but his stubborness is doing him him no favours.
Tough game coming up against a physically strong Millwall side, with some big players. Which means that barring injury, given Pearson's bloody-mindedness, King will be the first name on the team sheet, as centre-back.
We need a clean sheet to have a chance of getting something from the Den. C'mon Nige, do us all a favour and stick in some, genuine, big strong defenders.
If not, you may soon find yourself fighting adversaries more formidable than a pack of wolves.
