Leeds and Wigan away show that he - Pearson - can play that through ball.
We need to this side of his game more often.
If only it was that simple.
Pearson's choice of pass is one of the strongest aspects of his game. The position in which he plays means that naturally he will play fewer balls through to the attacking line (and have fewer opportunities to do so), than the likes of DJ / Harrop / Browne.
