Port Said Red Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I know everything on here has to be pro Pearson at the moment, but I am struggling to understand why we had two goalkeepers on the bench Saturday. He had brought back Idehen from the wilderness, so why not Pearson or Marlee Francois, or one of the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Francois is completely in the doghouse for something that went on in Austria (as is OTC). Pearson is certainly a “character” but not Nige’s cup of tea, that’s for sure. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depends what Hines (& Tinnion) think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how young players get bullshit reputations. There is no ‘doghouse’ situation with Marlee or Omar (albeit he didn’t cover himself in glory preseason - and that was on pitch too). Form, or lack there of, that’s it. And OTC has been injured for a while on top of that. ‘Fans’ need to be more conscious of rumour mongering particularly with young players trying to forge a career. It’s ridiculous and not fair on the individuals concerned. 3 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem he was the one that was questioned "from above" about being in the team instead of a youngster, so maybe an issue there that means he leaves ? The stupidity of questioning the value of a Premier league winning midfielder in a team of kids shows where we are as a club. We are in the brown stuff make no mistake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
