This place is going soft. Can’t believe I’ve hardly seen a comment about Browns miss from barely a yard out.
That lad is absolutely useless.

Seemed to me that he hesitated for a split second thinking Delap was gonna get there first.
Then he had to stretch for it and made a simple tap in more difficult to score.

It looked more difficult to get it over the bar than score but he was racing in at pace and stretching to make contact with a ball which was coming across at pace. Not like the kind of miss where a player has time to control the ball or pick their spot. It happens. I don't think most stokies would agree that Jacob is 'absolutely useless', Dave. Whether wing back is the best use of him is another debate.

I expect the misses, it’s what he does when he has time to think.
What really annoyed me with him yesterday was his weakness. And it’s something I don’t think gets mentioned often enough. He’s just shrugged off the ball so easily. And for a player who is meant to be physical it’s pathetic.
The miss was a shocker though.

He should also have buried that headed chance he had second half.It was a decent save by Rotherhams keeper but Brown should have scored.

There wasn't much pace on the cross so he had to try and generate pace. Not an easy chance. The other one, we all expected Delap to score and therefore Brown saw it late. Should have scored but again so easy. |

I thought at the time without the benefit of a replay it was a sitter.
But having seen the replay it was a very hard chance.
Fractions of an inch in it.
And the headed chance at the far post was a great save. Albeit Brown had very little of the goal to aim at and had to try and generate all the power himself.
BTW having missed it in real time, Eaves should 100% have been sent off for that elbow in the first half.
Another example of an appalling refereeing decision/non decision going against us.

First chance is a very hard chance. Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't. Cross was hit with a lot of pace. The header is the worst of the two for me - plenty of time to direct it better.
Neither chance is worthy of a thread though. The lad is doing his best in accommodating the manager's agenda against the previous manager's wing backs until his own signing decides he is fit enough for us again...

It was a good save from the goalkeeper but maybe the header should have gone back across goal to the far post. However, it is difficult to think like that in the instant.

His touch let's him down so that is reminiscent of Cooke However his intelligent runs into the box and his goal return at this are stuff Cooke could only dream of |

That twat Eaves should have been off for the first challenge. The referee must have been aware he'd bottled it and had multiple opportunities to book him again but didn't. So their manager took him off as it he was on his 20th final warning. Utter utter cowardly cuntish refereeing. |

Good performance overall by the team yesterday but Brown was one of the worst players. The missed chances mentioned and when he was knocked to the ground whilst tracking back was embarrassing.
Can't fault him for effort though, it's not like he was hiding. Just a bit of a pants performance from him this week and in fairness to him he spent the majority of the game playing wing back.

Any other side in the league scores both those chances if they’re against us.
Sides are far more clinical than us & neither of our keepers would’ve made that save

Sides are far more clinical than us & neither of our keepers would’ve made that save That is our problem in a nutshell ...we are rubbish in both penalty boxes at both ends of the pitch If we don't get in a decent keeper and and an effective striker , AN still isn't going to get us winning games , even if he gets everything else right if your glass is half full , sort out these two glaring issues , and up the table we go |

On the elbow He only got away with it because a) it was in the 1st few minutes and generally refs dont like to draw attention themselves with big decisions at that point in the game and b) he was playing for the home side. Eaves was well aware of both of these and I think knew he would probably get away with it. It looked really pre-meditated. Ive seen him do it before in other games. Both point to poor refereeing. |

I can’t believe how many chances these lads miss surely they should all have 100% goals to shots ratios just like the premier league players do 🤦🏻
Gives head a wobble and wakes up 🤯

I've made several posts about the wasted chances without singling out Brown. All the forwards had chances and squandered them Delap had about three Campbell at least one in addition to the one he managed to try to fuck up only to be given the ball back in a position it was almost imposible to not score from. Brown had another decent opportunity where his shot would still have been over if you built another goal on top of the real one. In short it was a completely inept display of forward play all round.

Not an easy chance in the end. You could argue he made it harder with substandard movement/anticipation but it would be harsh. What the bloody hell Delap was trying to do when Ty slipped him in in the 1st half is another matter...

Just watched it again
It's actually a really good move
Can see the point re him thinking Delap is going to get there
Still think he should score he gets enough on it
Campbell miss is a good save but should score, lovely through all from Smallbone who apparently is 'wank'
I must be in a minority of 1 who thinks Eaves challenge wasn't a red card too

He's no better and no worse than many average strikers we've had over the years, when he has time to think he's hopeless, yet when he he has no time he sometimes scores a beauty. Sign of a bog standard, average, workaday striker.
