The case for the defence

[mrdave85]

I'm happy that this has coincided with Pearce getting a run in the team. I thought he looked a tidy defender at Reading and I can only wonder why it took this long to get him into the 1st team proper, Pearson?

Interesting comment.

You can add the Baird, Ince, Johnson, Pearce, Olsson, Butterfield, Russell, & Bent haters to that list.

I suppose you didn't fall into any of those categories?

I'm a supporter, sometimes I think players should be dropped but I always believe in their ability. Anyone can see those players in that list are good. Even when Johnson was terrible his track record alone tells you he is easily one of the better CMs in this division. Same goes for Baird, captained Northern Ireland to the euros but then he isn't good enough for the Championship? I'm just a realist, really not down with this modern football short termist hype crap. You support the lads in the tough times, that's when they really need it. I've never booed once in my entire life either.
