Our only forward that can effectively press, so good out of possession.

Misses way too often when through on goal. His defending from the front is top-notch but hes not a natural finisher and never will be

Another great performance from him Some want their cake and eat it too. Heβs come on leaps and bounds and isnβt a player who should be getting criticised. Puts maximum effort in and I dare bet he trains damn hard too.

He's everything we need in a striker. Yes he misses the odd chance but he does more good than not.

Like I say mate heβs far from being a problem, I get the critique that heβs not clinical but thatβs why heβs at what is effectively a mid table Champo club. If he continues to improve then that should be cause for celebration not criticism.

I'm not and never have been a fan of players who are better without the ball than they are with it.
Jacob Brown isn't for me but fair play to his work rate and efforts to improve.

We are so much better when he plays. Don't think many people were saying that v Blackburn which surely has to go down as one of our most inept attacking performances.

Jacob Brown isn't for me but fair play to his work rate and efforts to improve. Yet being good without the ball is essential to almost or even every position. Arguably Bojan at his best was better without the ball than he was with it.

Hardhat on. He's better than Campbell. You'll need more than a hard hat you daft fucker π€£ π Ok wrong turn of phrase perhaps. Campbell is clearly more talented no doubt but right now give me Brown ahead of him. Maybe fitness, maybe attitude but Brown chases everything and looks like he wants to be on the pitch. Campbell is quite the opposite he also looks as though he spent his injury bulking up and its lost him that turn of pace he had last season and if it is not played directly to his feet he does not want to know. Maybe he still isn't fit but how long can we keep using that excuse ?

We are so much better when he plays. Squad player for me. No quality. Great to close down and press in last 30 minutes. We win expectations of him go up again.
