And if our other strikers who scored no where near as many as him this season don’t get what they have to do is what Jacob Brown does then they are not going to get it and I can fault their effort. Jacobs been working on his weaknesses hence the 14 goals so far and if he keeps working at it it will be more next season. Until our youth step up the difference we can’t afford to lose the only player we have who is scoring goals. Wright Philips and Tezgel have potential as well as the lad we got from Salford his name evades me, and Campbell is missing either confidence or is still hampered in some way from his injury. We can’t afford if we want to have a successful season next year to bin off our top scorer because he’s not as “technical” as other players and hope we can find a replacement. We need to find a player to play alongside him and score as many. You do know that talking sense isn’t allowed on here you f**king nutter I’ve always bucked the trend bit like Brown being a striker for us who scores goals the mad bastard

His goalscoring is great. He seems better at getting the ball to feet and controlling it/holding the ball. He's drawing more fouls, which can lead to goal chances. He's chipped in with a few headers.
He has always been good at harrassing and closing down. He's quite quick and a nuisance to play against.
Improvement still needed, mostly in creativity I think. He sometimes lacks awareness of the best pass, and could do with a few more assists. The thing is, he's got a very useful attribute, which is that he improves his game. So I'd back him to get better in those areas too.

Jacob Brown - proving naysayers wrong since April 10th, 1998.
All this talk about rebuilding a DNA, an identity here - I'd like a trainload of HIS attitude in that please.

If he continues to work on his game and we can find a way of creating more chances as a team he could get 20 goals next season

Can't see Brown going anywhere, unless the offer was bonkers.

The likelihood of somebody coming for him with a price we want is probably not going to happen so it looks like we’re lumbered with him for another season at least, which is probably not a bad thing I suppose.

To be fair Duckers we don't know what we'd sell him for and we should keep our top scorer. He's been good and got better. Deserves some credit

Lumbered with our best goalscorer. Apart from scoring the odd goal he’s pretty poor so we should cash in

Without Brown's contribution this season we'd have been screwed Unless someone got the game time he has season and had the chances to score goals. The notion Brown saved our season is ridiculous. I have posted before that if anyone thinks Brown will be the catalyst to pushing us to top 6 and promotion they will be waiting a very long time. Attitude and energy top draw, but football nous and ability not so. Proof will be in the pudding if any club bids for him in the off season.

Sell if we can get what we paid for him I’m not a fan but why the fuck would we let him go for what we paid. There’s a good profit to be had. Try to get him to sign an extended deal then let him go at whatever you consider his peak value. Should be the model with all of them not specific to Brown.

Can’t fault the lad for 99% of the time, for me I’d like him to improve on taking on a player when he’s marked tight, rarely beats his man with dribbling, oh and his crossing accuracy, oh and that miss against Cardiff.

I think the prognosis on Brown is very improved from last season, energy and attitude spot on, but the things highlighted he needs to improve on will never really come because of lack of ability and football intelligence. Interested to know what everyone things he should be worth ?

Attitude and energy top draw, but football nous and ability not so. Proof will be in the pudding if any club bids for him in the off season. The proof is already there for all to see, in the Goals Scored column. I think part of the problem is there are posters on here who set their stall out early doors and dont want to lose face by admitting they were too hasty to write him off. Why can’t we just accept that he’s our top scorer this season, a top athlete who clearly works hard on and off the pitch, who will undoubtedly and deservedly win Player of the Season? If someone bids for him in the summer it’ll be because they can see the value he adds to the team and I’ve no doubt that if we accept an offer it’ll generate a healthy profit.

I have to admit I wasn’t a fan, but hard work on the training ground is really paying off and every week that goes by he looks more complete
Well done Jacob, fully deserves player of the month and possibly player of the season
