Just looking at his stats on Soccerbase. 14 clean sheets in his last 31 league games for Millwall. That seems pretty impressive.
I'm not positive but I think Millwall usually play a back 3 as well. It never worked out for him and us for a multitude of reasons but I don't recall him being that bad, granted I don't think he ever played a competitive game. |

Pearce did fine, but Derby pressed well and were never really overstretched. Rowett likes to play out from the back and that obviously counts against Pearce. Robinson looks like a he could be a useful player for us; full of running and a chaser of lost causes, he's also possesses decent ability and reasonable pace. And we need another option who can play on the right.

Pearce played well. He's a better defender than Keogh, albeit not as comfortable on the ball. Maguire was decent for Preston, as was Robinson. Horgan and Boyle both need out of there, they've got a fair few average players ahead of them in the pecking order so Neil obviously doesn't rate them. They're both in their mid-20's, so can't afford to be sitting on the bench/in the reserves waiting for an opportunity to come their way.

We're into April, and Alex Pearce makes his first start of the season for Derby against Preston, coming in for Keogh following his horror show against Sunderland. Extraordinary to think that he was called into the squad for the Turkey game - and ahead of Brentford captain and regular, John Egan.
Cunningham is back for PNE; Browne and Maguire also start. Daryl Horgan (2 league starts this term) fails to make the bench. The match is on Sky.

for the amount of times he has been on the bench and been in squads for us its somewhat surprising he only has 7 caps. i don't think he should really be in contention anyway considering we have JOS/clark/keogh/duffy in front of him but still surprising when MON has Pearce on the bench instead of O'dowda like against Georgia last month

Fair play to him, he's resurrected his Derby career which otherwise looked destined for failure.

Paul McShane has 33 caps, is captain of a championship team, has played 6 seasons of premier league football, and the rest at championship level, and graduated from the Man Utd Academy.
He's not Fabio Cannavaro, but on any view at present he is a better option than Egan as well. I know there's a fashion for jumping on the bandwagon of who's going to be the next big thing such as Egan or O'Connell (some potential, but currently fifth choice at Celtic). However when you look at the facts, it's a bit ridiculous to be championing the likes of Egan who has maybe 9 championship appearances in his whole career over McShane and Pearce. Seriously? Obviously this doesn't consider the factor of the development of young players (whereby you might include slightly weaker players for their and the squad's development).

"Decent cover"
I miss the days where we had actual good defenders if he's regarded as decent. In terms of ranking, he's not as atrocious as McShane - Who by the way is still getting callups - but that's more like a backhanded compliment.

He's not 6th choice, he's 5th choice, and in a double header, he's an injury and a suspension away from being our only decent cover!

Absolute nonsense. He's 6th choice ffs. "Oh he'll be useful" I highly doubt was the thought.
Just another name who gets added to the sheet everytime without reason.

Egan has a handful of games at championship level for a mid-level club.
Pearce has played over 200 times at Championship level, half a season in the premier league, won player of the season for a championship club and captained a championship club, as well as seven caps and been part of loads of national squads. At 27 he should be entering the peak of his career.
Whilst there is an obvious need to develop talent, the above perspective is what MO'N is looking at when preferring Pearce to Egan. |
