ChrisBCFC Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Not sure what he has done to earn a new 2 year deal. Yesterday again highlighted what a limited play he is, as did Gillingham where he was awful. He seems to have had one or two good games for us, yet the majority of his career here he has been really average if not poor. He runs around a lot but all too often gives the ball away. All too often he had a very limited impact on the game. With his contract being up at the end of last season, and with Cisse going, this could of been an opportunity for Del to free up wages and get that quality, creative centre midfielder we clearly need. Opportunity missed? Yet to see what Pearsob offers to merit a first XI spot and that new deal. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's two games ffs every player in the history of the game goes for a bad patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBCFC Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 It's two games ffs every player in the history of the game goes for a bad patch No it's not 2 games. He has had 2 or 3 good games in a Bristol Coty shirt, a lot of the time he has been pretty anonymous. Did he do enough to merit a 2 year deal? Not for me.

headhunter Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Stephen "Pointless" Pearson. I was warned about his lack of contribution from a Derby County supporting friend. He's a bit part player, and that's being generous!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I personally think he should NOT be playing in the centre of midfield. His best games for us have been on the left wing. And, if it's a choice between him and Woolford, I'd have Pearson playing there. Needless to say I think it should be Anderson there but that's up to Del. I think it would be better for him to provide cover on the left wing and move Woolford on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grandad48 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I think that we need to sign all our first team squad on a year long loan deal, Why ?? because they really try and they give 100% + then as soon as we give them a contract, they don't seem to bother anymore and they are not the players we gad on loan.

Guest ron10bc Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Yeah I agree he's been sh*t the first two games but come on last year he came in and done well for city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Did more than enough for me, game of opinions and all that. He's the only midfielder we have who moves off the ball... I've never witnessed a group of players so static when in possession, but Pearson finds some very good pockets of space. Some facets of his game are weaker than others, of course, but if he was the complete player he wouldn't be here. I agree, thought he was an important part of why we stayed up last season. Good engine, hard worker, good movement, drives the team forward and capable of the odd goal. Obviously not the most technically gifted player. He may not have started this season well but to write him off this early is ridiculous.....oh wait, this is OTIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 He was average last season and I was surprised he was offered to stay. Has been shocking in first 2 games of this season, just hope Elliott comes in for him from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcbs20 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I thought he was fairly anonymous for large parts of the game but when he did see the ball he uses it well and does link the play very well good club to have in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tony Montana Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thought he was brilliant last night, him and Skuse look a great partnership Really!? I think he takes up a position in the starting 11 to be honest. Didn't do badly, but didnt create anything or put in any crunching tackles to stand out, got a good engine on him but thats about it, good versatile player to have for back-up, but i'd start Elliot over him every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thought he was brilliant last night, him and Skuse look a great partnership +1 Just thought i'd raise this from the 'Team for Palace' thread. This was the midfield I said Del would go for. Heaton Wilson Carey Fontaine Cunningham Adomah Skuse Pearson Woolford Davies Stead IMO I think that is the worse midfield we could possibly field with the midfielders we now have available. Why we insist in doing so is beyond me! We've signed Morris and Anderson and have Marv back. Morris or Marv in place of Pearson and Anderson instead of Wooly. Just my opinion though. Looked good last night, mind. Hope to see more of Skuse / Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thought he was brilliant last night, him and Skuse look a great partnership Thought he was fine last night - except when he "lost" the ball He and Skuse played well together. I don't think Elliot and Skuse are a great partnership, Elliot needs a different kind of player alongside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJgEEZa Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Last night Pearson played really well with Skuse. We even went with a 4-4-2 and according to some on here, thats not possible with the players we have at our disposal. Palarse had an extra man in the middle and our pair dealt with it in such a way that you would have thought it was us with 3! He is a good player, Del just needs to pick and choose his games in which to play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofisher Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thought they controlled midfield excellent last night, still think Buzsaky would do the job better than Pearson though, would mean we would be creating more chances through the middle aswell rather than just coming from out wide!

HomerRed Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Oooh, the heat's off Woolford and we need a new whipping boy do we? Maybe someone could run up a training bib for him. Or maybe people could just enjoy the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Last night's central midfield combination is, in my opinion, the only one we have that we can comfortably play and go 4-4-2. Two tall, mobile, technically competent midfielders who can use the ball, put a foot in and press the opposition. The fact that one is right footed and the other left is no bad thing, either. When paired with a front two with the work rate of Taylor and Stead you'll always have a chance. As for those who consider Pearson "pointless " or not good enough just take a look at his career CV and the fact that our manager clearly rates him as to why he is in our side.
