The hate Derby feel for him reminds me of a certain player in our not too distant past.

Still, can't argue against a goal, an assist and another cross that Maynard should have put away.
This is what I posted up on their board;
"City fan in peace.
Surprised to read all the hate on here. Reminds me of a certain Lee Johnson that we were desperate to get rid off who by all accounts did ok for you.
Pearson yesterday got man of the match (though it was a close call imho between him and Killkenny) and played very well. Yes his goal was a touch fortunate but he also made it. His ball went out to the wing before cutting back inside and running 40 yards into the box to receive it. Terrific work rate.
The second goal showed how level headed the chap is in my eyes, played another great ball across the box for the goal when a lot of players would have taken a pot shot.
You also wouldn't have seen from the highlights the inch perfect ball he played in for Maynard (which he should have put away) from the wing.
Only one game I realise, but clearly the lads got some skills and a fantastic work rate, went off on 60-70 minutes to a standing ovation and rightfully so. Obviously this isn't going to change any minds on here but I thought I'd post up a neutral point of view
