Have to agree about Pearce, although I think Sarr has errors in him too.
If at least one defender isn't on our shopping list this month it'd be criminal. The fact LB has said we're looking to sign 3 and presumably Green is one of them, that's a big concern!

There is a big difference between three and ‘at least three’
I think they set themselves up for a fall if they say five and only manage to get three ‘over the line’.

Playing a three with Williams and Doughty at wing back appears to be the best option with the players available... or the 4-4-2 diamond / 4-3-3 but that leaves us exposed plus we need the midfield to be far better. Assuming we survive, cant see Solly, Purrington and Pearce staying.

Maybe it was done with one eye on us, potentially, being relegated. I do agree, though, that if we are going to show ambition for the top six next season (assuming that we are not relegated) Pearce will be moved on.

I personally feel that whilst his effort and work rate is unquestionable his lack of positional awareness needs to be examined. He simply cannot organise the defence well enough for me at this level and it shows.

Plenty of people may say he’s not technically good enough for the Championship , but there definitely not a player in red n white (or black) , that gives as much to the cause as he does....
For me he’s a real credit to the shirt....👊🏽

I’ve been wondering whether Bowyer taking Pearce off at half time on Saturday was a significant point of the season. Does he see Pearce as a liability in the defence or was it simply a tactical move, that sadly had little effect? I’ve not read anything indicating he was injured. If the former, will Pearce feature again in the starting line up? Have to say I’m not sure either way, so it will be interesting for me to see who is selected against Luton.

If we play 3 at the back assume that Lockyer/Naby and one of Pratley or Deji.

Was saying to my mate at half time that we needed to take a defender off for someone attacking and I said that Bowyer would never take Lockyer off. I was right despite Lockyer having a terrible half. Too predictable for me.

More like one eye, on an experienced whole hearted defender, to help with younger players.

Too predictable for me. LB wouldn't take Lockyer off because he wanted his mobility and to keep balance because he's right-footed and Sarr is left-footed. The more we had to chase the game, the more open we would leave ourselves and we had to keep Lockyer on for that because he's decent in recovery.

Jason Pearce is our warrior. Limited and no where near as good a footballer as Naby Sarr, but he’s the man when it’s bodies on the line time. I thought he was a bit unlucky to get hooked on Saturday, but it was the right decision. Chasing the game we needed Sarr playing the ball out from the back while Lockyer stayed on for balance. Very surprised it was Smith rather than Oztumer that replaced him, but that’s another story.

The key issue as far as Jason is concerned is that his two previous clubs purchased him for tier 3 football and then dropped him then sold him when they got promotion to tier 2.
History to repeat itself this summer?
