CONFIRMED - Alex Pearce re-signs

[peterroyal76]

Mill's career has gone down hill since he left us, but he played ahead of Pearce because he was and probably still is better.

[Royal Rother]

I'd say Mills' best was better than Perace's best, but overall I'd rather have the consistency and level-headedness of Pearce.

I agree with Pearce being more level headed, but I think consistency is his problem.

[Ian Royal]

If Mills hadn't been a total fukwit, he'd have been easily Premier League quality. But he was and he's been trading on his potential, rather than his performance, for years now. Potential he isn't going to reach.

If one cannot under any circumstances reach their potential, can it really be said to be their potential?

[P!ssed Off]

Mills was not as good as Pearce, by quite some way. As demonstrated by Mills career going nowhere very fast after he's left us and Pearce being voted PotS and playing in the top flight.

This statement is absolute nonsense.

Mills was too inconsistent and rash for me. Although I have wondered this season whether he would have stepped up to the PL better than Gorkss for example. He was always someone who could raise his game for the big matches (apart from the playoff final) and so that may have compensated for the games when he was below par.

Was the captaincy a hindrance to his game though?

He did step up for the Play off final, it was Griffin, Zurab and to a lesser extent Harte who surprisingly crumbled.

Always rated him, his performance against Leicester (The one where Cummings played Left Back) sums him up for me. Great header at one end and then throwing himself behind everything at the other. I'd have him back in a heartbeat but it probably isn't the best thing for anyone.

Got skinned constantly all game, I still have no idea why Brian played him against the fastest wingers in the division.
Agree with your point though, Mills was fine that game. Played like a leader.

[Colin Cheeselog]

I cannot emphasise what an utter, utter cúnt Mills is. He's also a very average championship player, who somehow developed a profile way beyond his ability.

Pearce, I believe, is capable of player for many prem teams. Good enough for the likes of West Ham, Southampton, Villa etc.

Do you know Mills personally? He moved to a club everyone thought was going to walk the league for shedloads of money. Bit of a dick move but it doesn't make him the work of satan.

[AthleticoSpizz]

ahhhh, just recollecting some of the pelters Pearce used to get on here.

Hats off to you Colin, you have emphasized well

[Snowball]

Mills at his best was streets clear of Pearce


Pearce scores for being sold and consistent


I can only presume Mills had too many off-field issues but he had and probably still has the
potential to play at a very high level, Brave, got goals, quicker than Pearce, and though had
a dodgy streak was also a leader IMO. He's obviously too outspoken on the training pitch or
something, falls out with managers, but he can be a great player


I'd bring him back tomorrow unless he's physically deteriorated, or is a boozer or druggie or sunmmat

I think most of it is demonstrably true.

Mills was just an older version of Morrison. But then players like Mills and Morrison always get the plaudits ahead of better defenders like Ívar and Pearce.

[Ian Royal]

Morro seems much less of a petulent, loose canon, thug on the pitch so I have higher hopes for him. Even if he is a little error prone. Reminds me a little of Sonko at the moment in that whilst he gets himself in trouble, he's often able to get himself out again.

Poor choice of examples. The two you named both won player of the season.

No the logic in the statement is flawed. Ian Royal's statement:

1.Startpoint: Player A and Player B
2.Player A improves, Player B declines
3.Therefore Player A was better than Player B at the startpoint.

This is not a logical argument.

[Ian Royal]

Player A wasn't good here and hasn't been good elsewhere. Player B was better here and when given the opportunity to play has proved it.

[P!ssed Off]

Player A wasn't good here and hasn't been good elsewhere. Player B was better here and when given the opportunity to play has proved it.

You've got Player A and B muddled up, unless you've had a change of heart.

Who said I was using the same label for the players as you.
