pearce isn't in tonights squad either
How do you know that?
Mind you I'm not surprised.
I don't think the differential between the First and Third Divisions was anything like as great in those days.
Oh, that's alright then... Phew...
He lives in Oxted near me, shouldnt of been stuck in traffic only takes hour to drive to Brentford from down here.
Well Andy Scott lives nearby to Ian Pearce and was apparently also held up in the same traffic and only got to GP at about 2:30pm, so I was led to believe.

i was talking to ross montague at the game last night and he said that Ian hasn't been turning up to training and that himself is two weeks of full fitness
Ian then!Ian then!
shame montague hasnt had a run out in any of the pre-season games. Maybe a loan deal for the first month of the season would do him good?
only just started to run and kick a ball.he's still carrying an injury.
he had a serious back injury, it takes time to get this sort of injury right.only just started to run and kick a ball.

Ian Pearce has got a short term package deal abroad apparently, but will be available again in a couple of weeks.![]()

No two players' circumstances, finances and family situation (kids at school, wife down the bridge club etc) will be identical - especially towards the ends of their career. Therefore, motivation factors will be different . So you post is largely based on unreasonable assumptions.
From another angle, why the **** did he bother coming to train at BFC if he is expecting more than we can pay? You didn't think it though did you![]()
Anyone got any news with regards to Mr Pearce?
Is this a no goer as we have signed Bennett?:sad:

Now playing for Oxted and District FC (where he started his career) in the Surrey South Eastern Combination first division..
Oxted beat Westminster Casuals 4-1 and Pearce scored one of the goals.
Keeps him fit just in case we lose Wilson or Bennett..
Well, we lose Wilson in November (or is late October?)..
I heard Wilson would play in the FA Cup? Perhaps I was wrong.

that is not possible with Brentford.

just checked this out, Wilson's loan finishes around the FA Cup tie date of Nov.8th, abee mentioned on here that the return date for Wilson is around Nov.6th/7th, but then says the second week of november!?, anyway i doubt if Bristol City will give permission for Wilson to play in the FA Cup.
i can only comment on his performance against staines in pre season but he looked quality to me and i commented at the time that he was exactly what we needed. wilson going back is obviously going to leave a massive whole at the back and pearce would be an ideal replacement. it seems strange that hes ended up there and he would surely jump at the chance to play at league level, money cant be an issue if he's running out for nothing?

He may be happy to play with his mates for nothing to get him out of the house, but why on earth would he do that for us? I think the fact he hasn't sorted himself a club yet probably means that he's lost the desire to be a full-time pro anyway.


Blimey,that's below the Combined Counties League, can't believe we might have had him in the heart of our defence.
However, he decided to do something else at the end of July instead of taking the offer from AS
