However, it's clear to see the defenders are not as confident with him in goal as Olejnik. There is now way Pearce would have reacted in the same way had Olejnik made the same error, he would've let it slide. His distribution is very slow, and there was a couple of occasions a number of players were gesturing at him to get the ball moving quicker.
We were a bit slow all round today, which is understandable given the hectic schedule and lack of changes.
That is not good leadership. He's meant to be the captain. You can't square up to one person for a mistake and not do the same if another person makes the same mistake.
Pearce reacted the way he did because of his own poor performance today. Logan bailed him out a few times. Call me old fashioned but for me you only leave the ball the way Pearce did if the keeper calls for it. If you don't hear the call you get rid. Anyone in QLE hear a call from Logan?

Pearce was poor. In that game he was poor I get 1 in 23 games ain't bad going. He was poor today. Or at the very least below average.

Granted, but you could also say that Logan should've shown Pearce more respect as the captain.
Pearce wasn't as poor as people are making out. He was poor by his own standards but average by anybody elses.

Drivel, Pearce had a shocker today. He is a fantastic footballer and has been our best player for 2 years but today he was terrible. He was to blame for that incident and it was quite shocking to see him square up to his keeper. A Captain should know better, it was his worst day at the club.

Come off it Rob. Pearce made a crucial interception towards the end to prevent a certain goal, just the same as Logan made two good saves. I've no issue with Logan and Pearce squaring up per se', just thought it point towards a lack of confidence in the keeper. How many times after that did Pearce pass back to his keeper?

As I said, he made two very good saves today. But you can't ignore the poor aspects because of the good.

But having a keeper who isn't comfortable in possession hampered us today. He is so slow in possession, and the few times he did play out, he had held onto the ball for so long the opposition were back in posistion and could apply the press. Aimless punts upfield gave them back possession time and time again.
Quite clearly Pearce doesn't trust him. He had many a chance to roll it back to him but chose to take the more difficult option because he knew the ball would be launched up to the heads of their central defenders.
Logan is a old school goalkeeper. He is a good shot stopper and takes no risks and keep the ball as far away from his goal as possible at all times. We, as a team, have moved on from that and a goalkeeper who is capable with the ball and can think offensively is vital to how we play. Playing the way he did today Logan was playing for himself rather than the team.
Logan did have a good game. He was let down by his back 3 today. We couldn't play the ball out quickly because they pressed our defenders. As soon as logan had the ball they went straight to our defenders. They knew Walker and Hamilton were never going to win many headers so any long ball was going to come back and would be 3 on 3. When logan managed to get the ball out to a defender they messed around with it and nearly got caught in possession or hurried their clearance and gave the ball away. There were times today logan shouted for them to leave it and they didn't. If logan is coming for the ball he let's them know. The problem was Pearce was expecting logan to come for the ball while Pearce was under pressure. At no point is that a good call from Pearce.

Did anybody else think that the crowd seemed bigger on Boxing Day? My gut reaction was the ground seemed fuller on Boxing Day. There was certainly more of an atmosphere. A couple of friends also said the same.
