Sam Pearson

Loan signing from Bristol City

[Jack Waddington]

Wales U21 player. Could prove to be a decent player

[Kingsmills]

Looks like a promising young player with something to prove.

Hopefully, one or two more to follow.

We need more than one player.if Mackay gets injured which is very likely who is going to score the goals,I don’t think this squad will give us promotion.How many of our present squad could play in SPL.? if we are lucky to get promoted we would require 7 or 8 players and this would take half the  season to gel Just my thoughts

That's exactly what I was thinking the other day.  Would be a nice problem to have, though...

Time enough to think about a squad fit to compete in next season's Premiership if and when that becomes a live issue.

Right now we need to focus on having the players to compete over the next four months to give us the best possible chance of getting there and we are probably still two short.

That’s great if you’ve got the resources to not win the league and keep those players on. We make a few bad signings and we’re screwed. For all Kilmarnock are throwing the cash at it, it doesn’t mean they’re going to win.

A decent 45mins on Saturday ,still no idea why he never came out for the second half. He looked comfortable on the ball,willing to run at defenders and put in some good crosses. 

 

[Robert]

I agree, I’ve been quite impressed with what I’ve seen of him in the two games he has played part of.

It may be he is not fully match fit yet, but I’ve had given him 90 minutes based on his performances.

A pacy wide player, who seems able to play on both wings and is prepared to have attempts at goal is just what we need. 

[forresjags]

Looks to be a player, direct and willing to put in a challenge. Unlucky not to score last night. 

My only fear is that when the plodders Walsh and Doran are fit ,he slips down the pecking order.

Exactly what I said when I first saw Pearson, Chalmers and Samuels.  All with a bit of energy, and direct.  Give the defenders a problem - give them something to stop.

Look at how often we come up against someone like Tiffany last night, causing all sorts of problems simply by running with the ball at or across the defence.

I was thinking - half-seriously - last night that Dodds should introduce fines for passing sideways or backwards when it's not necessary.  How often do we start in possession halfway into the opposition's half, and end up passing it back to Ridgers or to our last defender?

[Satan]

Definitely agree with Pearson, not convinced by Samuels or Chalmers - yet.

Lots of feints and dribbling into a tackle...shades of Storey/Mulraney??

[Jaggernaut]

Pearson was doing what I shout at Walsh to do every time he plays, stay wide, get the ball, be direct and run at defenders, get to the bye line and cross the ball. He gives us an out ball when we are going forward. The only thing he needs to work on is getting a relationship with Carson or whoever is at right back, and tracking back to help, Carson was exposed on more than one occasion last night when Tiffony's pace caught them out. Certainly a must start in the next game.

My thoughts exactly, there has to be an end product, and to know when to release or cross the ball.

Congratulations to Sam Pearson who has been called up for the Wales Under 21 squad. Unfortunately it means he misses our game against Dunfermline on the 26th:

Good for him I am sure we will manage without him for one game.  As I said to jagster on Saturday we won 3- nil without our best player starting 

[+DoofersDad]

Sam scored Wales' goal in a 1-1 draw against Bulgaria today.  Well done Sam!

Another from him a week Saturday would be even more pleasing.

[IBM]

Here it is.

 

[+DoofersDad]

He was very sharp to get onto that and a very cool finish too.  

[+Moogthurso]

Does that guy bale need a club. Looked a handy partnership for next season...

[izzy]

Well done Sam !! ️Hopefully now you will get more than 10 mins when you come back .

[RiG]

Pearson has looked by far the best of the January signings. It's a shame we haven't seen more of him and I hope to see him play as much as possible over the coming weeks whilst we still have him.

[RiG]

Pearson has returned to Bristol City in very sad circumstances.

 

[Yngwie]

Sad news.
