Again, judging by some of the shite we've spent 12m on in the past I'm not sure why spending 10m less should get you better. You’re judging it wrong 😂 Most teams in this league have signed better strikers for cheaper. We have 2 for instance. And most of them are below us in the league! Happy days eh!

His link up play first half was excellent. Second half lost his composure on a number of occasions and turned into a headless chicken…….

He is absolutely useless- in fact one of the worst players I’ve seen pull on a Stoke shirt. He’s shown up in brief spells this season but nowhere near enough and was horrendous tonight

I thought he was decent first half and created space for others (Powell and Vrancic) by making decent runs into space. The worst thing he did all game was screw up the long ball over the top. If he'd have controlled that better, he would have been in. For me, that's exactly the chance he needs to be taking, as its what he's in the team for. I don't like the reappearance of him backing into a player and hoping that they will miss their header. That said, it seems kind of pointless to challenge to win a flick on when there wasn't anyone level with you to break forward.

I think he’s come on leaps and bounds and can fill in in a few positions.
However, he’s not first 11 material for a team who wants to go up. Don’t mind him as a squad player though filling in for injuries or coming on to press the oppositions defence.

He's no Walters ill give him that. Although the first few games of the season he was immense and reminded me a bit like super john. A lot better than last season and rums his arse off every game without fail

Agree with this but if you're going to play quick passing, clever midfield players you need someone of the same ilk up front. Today he offered nothing because it just wasn't his sort of game. By playing him in the wrong games we are just tiring him so that he doesn't offer his best in the games which do suit him.

Ultimately, I wouldn’t like to rely on him, but definitely can offer some value to us when we have injuries or when the manager sees fit to use his qualities.

If you could combine the best attributes of brown/surridge then you would have a top championship striker. But you’d probably be paying £10m+ for that player.
I think people need a bit of perspective. In Campbell, we have a very good championship striker on our books and you’ve just got to cross your fingers that, when he comes back, he doesn’t have any more major setbacks. But until he does then we are going to be utilising the likes of Brown and Surridge. These two were signed for a combined total of less than £5m? It sounds a lot but in 2021 it really isn’t when championship clubs are spending £10m+ on marquee players. We did it ourselves (Afobe, Vokes was close to 10?) but sadly it was terribly squandered. So now we’re in the business of buying young players with a few strong attributes rather than buying (what we hope to be) more complete packages. That’s the spot we’re in after spunking away our relegation warchest and flying too close the the sun with FFP. I can definitely tolerate brown for what he lacks more than I can tolerate some of the more expensive post-relegation signings. Some of those cunts cost way more than brown and didn’t even want to be here.

Brown and Surridge should play in a 2 man cf partnership with press like at Swansea if either is left alone up top it falls apart.

Brown cost £2m, which (all things being equal) tends to buy an average Championship striker.
He's improved a lot already and is probably about that level now. Not the best signing in the world, but not an awful one either. I'd say the same for Surridge- £2m for a bloke who's a decent finisher but pretty average across the board is the going rate.
Not every signing we make is going to hit the jackpot.

I didn't know that was how it worked until last night either.

It's embarrassing, so called supporters coming on to slate Brown after nearly every game . We know you're opinions of him now and that's fair enough but do we have to hear the same shit repeatedly

People are quick to blame everyone when we have a disappointing result.
Why aren’t any fingers being pointed at MON, started with no recognised striker and when it needed changing (Brown was knackered) it was later than it should of been. We are playing better football and once Campbell comes back and we have someone as good as Tymon on the right this system works a treat.

What we spent on Surridge will then automatically make it one of the bigger deals this summer. With what Brown gives you I’d expect to get that on a free. He’s no better than Lee Gregory for instance. Both League One strikers really.
