The guys big physically and tall but hes certainly no defender. Couldn't agree more mate. 6 points off automatics and after Leeds we have some very favourable games coming up. There's no standout team in this division. As soon as you think a team might push on, they falter. 2 or 3 loan signings could be the difference. I honestly think whoever has the best January window will go up. (Fulham and Mitrovic spring to mind) Don't get me wrong. I'm not expecting us to spend big. But 2 or 3 loan players could really help us push on. CB, Midfielder and a centre forward. We won't go up with that defence at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of midfield cover for the defence is as big of a problem as the defence itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need a bit more strength and mobility in the middle of the park. But a dominant centre half is needed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'I have to say 'Pearcey, go and do what you need to do, and go and play', because he's been an absolute star for me here, without featuring in games. Every day in training, he has been an absolute example of a player that wants to go and play competitive football. In the modern day, that's not the case everywhere. With Alex Pearce, it certainly is." That’s brilliant to hear. In an age when ex Pro’s like Roy Keane question why all you hear from Jesse Lingard on Twitter is about new trainers, phones etc. Isn’t it great there are role models like Pearce who just want to play the game, whatever ability.

Comrade 86 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I'd be 99% certain we have someone lined up to replace Pearce. No way we'd let him go otherwise. Great that the club is now playing its cards close to its chest and also good news that Pearce will be getting some gametime. Solid pro, who has never whined about his lack of opportunities and was by all accounts, brilliant with the younger players. Best of luck to him.

Roy Keane is a massive *******. Hates players for having a fancy haircut, hates players for looking like they've enjoyed themselves when scoring a goal by dancing a bit, hates the fact that they make a lot of money from being marketable when he played with David Beckham! The same Roy Keane that (it is alleged) used to go out on the razz midweek, deliberately went out to hurt people (that City player for one example) on the pitch and got in massive arguments with management. Guys a total helmet and has no right to comment on what young players are doing. I'd be very interested to see the breakdown of the players that the likes Souness and Keane question, for their attitudes, by ethnicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Lampard said when Davies got injured CB is an area we are going to be looking at so I would think we have someone close to joining to let Pearce go. From todays press conference sounds like Wisdom would be emergency cover which I dont mind, he has always said thats his preferred position.

My preferred position (u-15s sunday league) was striker yet I kept getting played at left back Quite a few managers so far seem to think he's a better fullback than centre back - But I suppose the other side is Chris Baird played both positions very well across his playing years - So who knows?

Van der MoodHoover Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 All looks a bit high risk in our defence atm. If we move wisdom then all we have is lose at lb until Malone is fit? and wisdom is cover for rb as well .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Ram Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 In a way sorry to see him go. He was a good back up option. Might lack ability but seemed like he’d come in the side when called upon head a boot & give it his all. Can understand him wanting to play & best of luck to him at millwall. As for the Roy Keane comments, how can anyone not love watching him get paid to comment on football when he clearly despises everything about it? Hated him as a player but love watching him on tv now. He is bitter towards united & hates everyone associated with them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
