I think Mmaee will still come good tbh but he was dogshit yesterday. It happens. I do still think only one of the chances yesterday was a sitter. I am hoping you are right on this as it is a mess up top at the minute. He was poor last week also. Probably agree re that the one in the first half? Yeah he should fucking bury it but totally shat himself because it was on his left foot. Very poor.

Looked great last season but failed to live up to it this one.. pity! Hopefully he can recover his initial promise given he's likely here for a while. On a side note I hope Cundle isn't one of those players that proves to be a manager's favourite for no apparent reason as he has to justify his inclusion not just have it by the default of favouritism. Thought Candle and Bae played very well together in the first half but both Faded a bit in the second.They both created plenty in the final third but it's the finishing that's our bug bare at present. Yes we definitely need goals and we're not clinical when opportunities arise.

If there’s interest from other clubs I would say he’s one that they may try to move on as we have Burger and Thompson that can play in his position and he doesn’t really fit in the new way of playing although I think he’s a decent player overall he will get caught out in 1-1 situations The new way of playing? Energy , dynamism getting forward. Nor does our current centre forward to be fair.

Well as I said in my post yesterday to you Last week you said mmaee was good enough for the team This week you have posted he’s a bench player. So not always right just right this week on that subject I think Mmaee will still come good tbh but he was dogshit yesterday. It happens. I do still think only one of the chances yesterday was a sitter. Surprisingly, I agree with many of your posts, however Mmaaee is a different matter, yesterday’s performance was typical not the exception. He’s truly appalling in most facets of his game. You can’t improve on what you don’t have.

I’m a fan I have to say. Surley we would benefit from him protecting our very fragile back line. Would also perhaps cut out the appaling passing out of defence we’ve witnessed today as he would be receiving short passes. Not sure about Cundle today, likes to keep the tempo up with quick passing but looks like a Jack of all trades master of none type of player after one viewing. Perhaps Pearson to start next week with Cundle adding energy after the hour mark. Sadly, he's well past his best and needs to be moved on.

Strange how in a matter of months Pearson as gone from being the first name on the team sheet to someone we’re probably looking to offload

He's not as bad as some make out.
If we change to a 4231 then him and Burger behind Junho would work.
It's imperative we get a new striker and this winger from Peterborough on one side and Campbell on the other then it's a different ball game.

From the player who was going to transform our side to “he’s not that bad” That’s the problem, we put all our eggs in one basket when there was much better value out there if we’d looked further afield. The way he’s essentially hamstrung himself with so many early bookings this season is actually bordering on unprofessional…….

He's had some personal issues and seems to have had an impact on his footie which is a shame.

As an example, the way Stansfield yelled at the linesman after disagreeing on a goal kick would have gotten Pearson booked. 10-15 of the tackles (resulting in a couple of free kicks) by Birmingham would have gotten him a yellow (or worse). His reputation preceeds him, and he's suffering from it now. He need to buckle up, keep his mouth shut and stop doing the trips he instinctivly does sometimes until his reputation fades and he'll be an asset instead of a liability IMO.

Stansfield did enough silly shit for 4 bookings yesterday. Kicking the ball etc.

An attacker should be playing instead of Cundle. I'd have one instead of Baker, Cundle looks like he could do well linking the midfield together, gets about a lot, it's just his final ball that's been lacking so far but hopefully that will come with better understanding of those around him.

If we want to play fast attacking football and move the ball forward quickly, I’m not sure this side has a place for Pearson. Burger is on a different level to him and there is no other role Pearson can fill. If he wants to get back in the side he needs to get into better shape for starters. He looks slow and overweight. He also gets far too many needless bookings. He’s a good player but he doesn’t deserve to be playing right now.

Did anyone see the video of the lads training? Note the one loafing and not doing his press ups, you've guessed it, Pearson. Don't think he is a shuey type player.

I would be ok with selling Pearson to fund a proper goalscorer. As much as I like him, we are no different with or without him in terms of results; although our overall play is much more positive.

what happens when Burger picks an injury up? Pearson will be needed, a good player to step in

Needs to go for a defender. Hopefully a LB or CB.

You shouldn’t need to score 3 to win a home game. You need to score 1.6 goals per game to have a better chance of winning games than losing them at this level this season. In your opinion how many goals should you need to score to win a game and where is your evidence to back up your opinion?

Be difficult to move on I would think, simply not athletic enough for SS, we need legs in the midfield who can also play a bit..

Schu tends to play 1 deep lying midfielder Burger does every aspect of the role better than Pearson. I don’t see how Pearson can play on a regular basis unless Schu completely changes that approach. It will be interesting if Burger picks up a ban (likely)whether Pearson or Thompson are 1st reserve for that role.

You shouldn’t need to score 3 to win a home game. To be fair Bayern, they scored from their only real shot on target in the first half, which was barely a half chance, albeit it was directly as a result of poor defending. Then second half they scored from a great free kick you can't blame anyone for, except maybe Hoever for giving the free kick away, and 9/10 free kicks like that don't result in a goal anyway. Your point stands but the Birmingham game wasn't the most reasonable example of it.

Question for me is will the manager change his approach when the fires start burning two holding midfielders in 6 pointers s not beyond the wit of man to see when it’s squeaky bum time , once you know you can’t score not conceding becomes even more critical in those game and lest we forget we havre already lost to QPR , Sheff Wed and Plymouth the true 6 pointers to come .

I hope not and don’t believe that’s the basis he was selected on . When self preservation takes over and you become too afraid of losing to try to win the game is up. You obviously come from the Paul Lambert school of thought ‘Struggling to score ? Compound the problem by diverting more resources into not conceding’.
