Makes Pearce the obvious choice then.
Missed 1 game in the last 2 Championship seasons.....
Makes Pearce a regular starter. Doesn't necessarily make Pearce a good footballer. Who was he getting selected ahead of?
Your pre-requisite was starting regularly, not being a good player. Goalpost shift. And frankly, he's the best Centreback at the club and has been all season.
It's not like we're going to be bringing in lots of new quality players is it. Unless someone buys him or Hector and to a lesser extent Morrison step up big time he's going to play most games next season barring injury.
