Pearson has played the SO’D role. He has stated himself, that he may not be the one to benefit from the work he has put in. But in the same way that many have realised that O’Driscoll played a pivotal role in that League 1 winning team, I think that the past 2 seasons may be seen as basis on which the club has progressed from. The question. That must be answered, however, is why does this club need ‘hard resets’ so often?
