_Bristol-City_ Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Does bring an odd goal to the team. Anything else? PPP. Piss. Poor. Pearson. Well played Skuse especially today though. Class performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Does bring an odd goal to the team. Anything else? PPP. Piss. Poor. Pearson. Well played Skuse especially today though. Class performance. What game were you watching? Pearson wasn't piss poor at all. He and Skuse did well against a very useful Blackburn midfield. None of the City players were individually poor. The defence as a whole was poor as conceding 5 goals tells you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 It was inevitable that there would be Pearson bashing after the game, he was ok but I felt he could have come off for Elliott though to be fair Elliott might not have scored the second goal if he had, as for none of our players being "individually poor" I'd humbly suggest that Fontaine, who was at fault with the first 3 goals might well have been...

edada Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 What is it with some people on here? Do they really need to have a player to target? Think about it. When was the last time we had a centre mid who knew where the goal was? Try backing the whole team and who knows where we'll get. Today could have gone either way. Accept the fact that we will lose some games especially to the top teams, but if we're entertained and the team gives its all then we can ask for no more. Give me today over any of the dire millen era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniro Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Pearson was ok today - worked hard - looked lively and disrupted a good Blackburn midfield. Woolford was off the pace and lacks a first touch. Albert was at times brilliant. We paid for not settling for the draw and from an entertainment point of view I reckon it's worth it. Blackburn are deadly and ruthlessly punished us for trying to pinch the game in the closing minutes but we ran them close. We really do need to strengthen that central defence though.

Ron Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Pearson tracked back very well on a number of occasions, both centre midfielders sat deeper and deeper as the game wore on. Not sure where you get 'piss poor' from to describe his performance, but each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Bristol-City_ Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Got turned far too easily, again. I'm sure his 60% pass accuracy is good enough for championship though. Oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarf Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Skuse & Pearson are alright for mid table mediocrity. Since that's the limit of Lansdown's ambition, we got nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 So this would be two games on the bounce that you have started a thread criticising Pearson then? He and Skuse lost the battle in the midfield today against Etuhu and Murphy, who are both very good players at this level, and it did lead to Blackburn controlling possession, but he certainly wasn't 'piss poor'. I am Skuse's biggest fan, but I find it simply absurd that you can start a thread suggesting Pearson played badly and then describe Skuse as having played a 'class performance'. Neither of them were particularly brilliant and neither of them were piss poor. I have noticed a growing a trend on this forum to criticise Pearson and I don't really understand it. Sure he isn't a fantastic player and he is unlikely to ever do anything amazing, but he is a solid and dependable player for us and certainly never lets us down. He gets around the pitch, puts his foot and has a decent passing range. Added to this he is superb at coming from deep and arriving in the box. If he had shown more composure in front of goal last season he would have scored many more than he did and he appears to be putting this right this season. As an earlier poster said, when was the last time we had a central midfielder that regularly stuck the ball in the net? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 What is it with some people on here? Do they really need to have a player to target? Indeed some people do. Personally I'm quite happy with Pearson and I don't think he is a weak link. Sometimes he'll be good, sometimes he'll be bad, same as the rest. And at least he can find the net, it's a while since we've been able to say that about one of our midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Jr. Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 He has the first touch of a cheese souffle, but he works hard. Also comes in with the odd rash challenge, but his effort makes up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fka dagest Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yes Incredible if you think that!!! Pearson was very good today. He got up and down the pitch very well, always looked for the ball before moving it on quickly. I noted only a couple of times when he misplaced a pass. He scored a good goal too. Skuse in contrast, though not terrible, did his usual ponderous passing display of 10 yards backwards and sideways passes. He took dull, imaginative or inappropriate free kicks. He also gave it away numerous times. Yet as far as the Cole Skuse Fan Club in the Dolman is concerned every average pass or won header if worth a round of applause. I can only imagine it is this Club blinded by adulation that bizarrely voted him MOM. Honestly MOM? Did they even notice Albert Adomah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derk94 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Pearson looks like he does a lot for the team but when you actually analyse him throughout the whole game he is pretty shocking. He never quite makes the tackle and never manages to pull away from a player without them getting a touch. I'm about to be slaughtered here but if it was me I would've taken him off for killa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when we are in the position to splash 5 million quid on new players I might start hoping for a better standard than Pearson. Until then I am happy with what he brings to the team. And yes he would walk into every League 1 team. You're clearly the clueless one, Skuse got man of the match you dopey ****. Not sure that Skuse wrongly being awarded man of the match proves you correct. Also no real need start calling people 'dopey ****s'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well I thought we played very well today, we tired a bit towards the end against a side that beat Man Utd away last season. 3.3 would have been a fairer result. There was a lot of positives that shows we've moved forward from last year. Better keeper, quick fullbacks, moved the ball well in midfield and a lot more options up front. There is no pleasing some of the posters on here so why don't the moaners **** off and go support Chelsea. I for one was thoroughly entertained and can only see us getting better.
