He’s made for that kind of game yesterday with a big lump of a centre forward and a bit of handbags going on every time the ball gets up to them. I’d still keep him as a 4th choice next season tbh.4
-
He'd be in the team for the rest of the season for me. Will make some errors (they all do) but always gives everything unlike a lot of them.9
-
A dying breed unfortunately. Gives it everything he's got, every game.10

Was one moment in the game where Lavelle headed back to Macca, yet the ball went for a corner.
Sam was instantly kicking himself over the mistake
Yet Pearce was straight over to him, getting him to focus on the upcoming corner, and to forget the error.16 -
With the squad cap in place we need to be careful. But I’d definitely offer him a player coach role over Watson and it’s as 5th/6th choice CB. One of them in front of him cannot be Inniss though.3

Heart on his sleeve type. Always gives 100%.3

We all have different opinions about the players but I genuinely don’t understand the supporters who don’t rate Pearce / in this league he would be one of the first names on my team sheet - I have no idea why JJ has not played him for the last 5 games - madness - of course he makes mistakes and looks a bit slow at times but have these people watched Famewo ( who makes loads of mistakes) and slightly worryingly Lavelle who looks slow !!I would play him every week because the positive far outweighs the negative
After all / we are playing in Division 3 !!!!!!8 -
He’s a limited player because he isn’t the quickest and he isn’t great on the ball. We’d all like to be in a position where we have better available, but yesterday he showed what he brings to the team. It’s not just that he gives it his all, it’s that when he plays we will usually see those around him giving more too. We have others that may aim to lead, but just because you’re willing to lead doesn’t mean others will follow. I think Stockley is an example
of this, he clearly has the right attitude and is vocal on the pitch, but I’m not sure others are always following his example.We need more true leaders in the team next season More players made of the same stuff as Jason Pearce but hopefully with some of the technical qualities he lacks. In the meantime, I think he should be playing.7 -
Our defence is always better organised with Jason on the pitch,yes,a bit slow at times,yes the odd error,(show me a centre back anywhere who doesnt get done at times).In our position I want players throwing themselves into the game as if their life depended on it,JP does this,1st name on the sheet every week for me,regardless of the odd mis hap.Ask this,when the shit is hitting the fan,who do you want by your side.6

Totally agree. Not the best, but his commitment has never been in question. He is a proper leader and when he plays we look more organised and not like a few blokes who met 10 mins before the game.Talal said:He'd be in the team for the rest of the season for me.

We need grit and determination right now.
Many of our players have absolutely no bottle. Pearce does. Pearce is in.5 -
Although I thought it was slightly harsh at the time, I can understand why he was dropped when Innis was back to fitness (as brief as it was).Was a bit miffed he didn’t come straight back in when Innis got injured though.0

Lavelle came in instead. A player who needed games after a long injury layoff and quite likely to be a bedrock of next season's team.FishCostaFortune said:Although I thought it was slightly harsh at the time, I can understand why he was dropped when Innis was back to fitness (as brief as it was).Was a bit miffed he didn’t come straight back in when Innis got injured though.
He was always likely to start instead of old Jase.

He is a with me or not type of player.
That battle with Mitrovic was a right bruising encounter, Pearce said that he loved it and my guess is so did Mitrovic.4 -
With great respect for each other after that game.3

We've desperately missed his leadership recently. When things are going well it doesn't matter. It when you have a rough spell that leadership matters most.1
-
Some of you are forgetting Inniss exists. He does everything Pearce does but better. There's a reason Pearce wasn't in the side before but is (and rightly so) now. Of course, if we went to a back four there'd be a case for playing both, injury permitting1
-
(Actually tbf I do have Pearce down as a better passer of a ball than Inniss but that's a relatively minor concern)0

Does that include staying fit...? Sadly its kinda the most important factor of them allLeuth said:Some of you are forgetting Inniss exists. He does everything Pearce does but better.

Innis is a colossus and our best centre half, but he is made of glass.
Having given Aneke another 3 years, I don't really think it is wise to offer another contract to Innis and risk having the pair of them missing for 50% of the time.
Pearce should be put out to pasture, but his leadership and commitment is so valuable it may pay to keep him on.
Lavelle I am not sure about yet. Not completely convinced he has made the step up from League 2, but he is young and hasn't had that many games yet.
Famewo I think is fine for this level if he can maintain some consistency.If we can get better, fine, but I doubt we can.1 -
He's always better with a bigger mate alongside at the back .. Inniss' time must surely be up, Lavelle is the future alongside Pearce, at least for the foreseeable future .. Famewo ? .. don't really like to say it, he does his best, but I hope we resist the temptation to sign him permanently, IF he's offered to us0
-
Pearce is definitely not the future, and I've not seen Lavelle play as securely and dominantly as Famewo can1

problem is of course, Inniss is rarely fit and therefore can't be relied onLeuth said:Some of you are forgetting Inniss exists. He does everything Pearce does but better.

No its frustrating when you realise that Inniss and Pearce have been perhaps our better Defenders this season.Leuth said:Pearce is definitely not the future, and I've not seen Lavelle play as securely and dominantly as Famewo can
One is crocked, the other cant be relied upon every week, and is nearing retirement.1 -
I'm not Jason Pearce's agent or his Dad but bearing in mind Richard Wood is going to lead Rotherham back into the Champ and he is 2 years older than Pearcey, I'm really not sure why everyone even thinks hes too old to be a key player next year too ( obviously with lots of other central defensive partners )2

But he has the grit, drive and ability for what we need this season at least.2 -
