reformed_red Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Think he's been a top player for us off the pitch. However.... is is it just me, or does he have a very unusual stance? His feet seem to both point outward, and he has an unusual running technique. When he's in the ball, he looks a bit awkward to me?? Yesterday, a couple of times in the first half, it looked as if Pack, Williams and Ayling all avoided giving him the ball with simple passes, as they would usually with Flint / Baker. I wonder if there is a question mark over his technique / stance? Anyone else noticed or just me...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsham Alf Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I agree entirely with your comments & we discussed this after the match. To be fair Pearce didn't have a bad game, but he just doesn't give you the same confidence levels of Baker or Flint. He looks penguin like & for me the best defenders have great balance & fleet footed-ness. He's not a player I would be looking to sign . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Some good strong tackles but did loose Wells a few times and we were lucky he didn't punish us to be honest. Rather comfortable though so I would be happy if we signed him on a perminent, good experience and good talking throughout the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Thought he did really well yesterday, was always martialling the defence and making sure they didn't drop too deep. Bags of experience at this level, wouldn't be against a permanent signing personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Most athletes/sports players, have slightly bandy legs as the natural standing position then puts the feet in line with shoulders. Gives better balance. Bandy legs are more prevalent in males whereas most women have knock knees. Those with feet that point outwards, may not be so well balanced, not run so quickly? But it should not be a hindrance for someone like Pearce who has played at Premier and international level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances of Baker signing permanently for us, about 1%, chances of Pearce probably 50/50, hence it makes far more sense for LJ to have a look at him in the last two games.

I know there`s every chance we could all be `Baldocked` and there`s a lot of wishful thinking involved but FWIW I think Tomlin, Pearce and Matthews will be at City next season.
