Aynsley Pears

[NZBoro1]

Nice to see he has won a new contract at Blackburn, pleased for him.

Couple of our old keepers doing well.

Always thought he and Steele were decent young keepers, just playing for Boro at a pretty crappy time.

Certainly not as bad as a lot made out.

I rated Aynsley, obviously Warnock didn’t, but he was better than the other keepers Warnock brought into replace him. Confidence took a battering when he was bullied against Forest just before the pandemic. Pleased to Steele doing ok for Brighton, but as witnessed against Everton on Monday Brighton need better.

We have a few hero-critics who compete to be the first to write a player off, as if the depth of their insight can be measured by how scathing they are.

Keepers mature more slowly than other players; writing off a keeper at 21 is the equivalent of writing off an outfield player at 17: you'd be a fool to do it.

I saw a lot of Pears games for u23's and maybe because of how good I thought his dad was, I never expected him to be boro's no 1 keeper.

He was allays very quick to blame his defenders, hut never really tried to organise his back 4 in open play.

Both were poor for Boro and not good enough for our No.1 spot.

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

Had a decent season for Blackburn, but he's not big enough physically, even now.

Pleased he's got a new contract, he's earned it.
