He plays way more minuets than any of the other forwards so i would expect him to be top scorer A trier but very little quality, always seems to be panicking when in possession, thought he was pretty anonymous yesterday & the 20yr old making his league debut showed lovely touches & timing of the run He is no Mama or Walters ...and most certainly not a Carew or Owen. |

Yes scored some big goals- but he never even hit double figures did he? Never said he was prolific but he was immense in the air & decent with his back to goal |

Minuets  |

He's fine as a squad player but with everyone fit I'd expect to see him on the bench.

Right well that's just not true  Vardy's first season for Leicester, 29 games played, 5 goals. Vardy's second season for Leicester 41 games played with 16 goals. Vardy's third season for Leicester 36 games played with 5 goals. In that second season his record was alright, but far from remarkable. It's worth mentioning this is all at an age older than Jacob brown, when his position has always been striker. Brown has played a variety of positions in his career and I believe even grew up a winger so he's still learning his position aged only 23! The kid's fucking 23, and people are moaning that he isn't completely clinical. It's beggar's belief it really is  My point refers to his goalscoring record up to the point he made his huge jump, he was always a goalscorer - Brown doesn't have that history that can be applied or hopefully recreated And better than 1 in 3 in the Championship having been plucked from non-league is just "alright"?! Well yeah, Brown has always played at a high standard though so it's a total moot point. Brown would be a goalscorer if you put him in a semi pro league  It took Vardy a few years of league football in a decent side to start getting brilliant returns, when he was in the peak of his physical condition aged 26/27. Brown's only 23, people on here suggest that you come out of the womb with an innate ability to put the ball in the back of the net. It's a skill, it can be learnt and improved like the rest and just because he isn't a natural finisher now doesn't mean he never can be. Michel Antonio looks a great goalscorer now, no previous history of it in his career particularly. Arnautovic was a brilliant forward for West Ham, again, bugger all signs of that from his statistics at clubs prior to Hughes using him as a left forward... He's 23, he scored a brilliant header yesterday to open the scoring, his attitude is superb... Cut the lad some fucking slack. |

People have said it was “put on a plate for him”, by which I think they mean he didn’t skin three defenders and nutmeg the keeper. He did however win a 50-50 in his own half and then run half a pitch, lose his defender and get into space for the cross. I don’t know how that’s put on a plate. He’s not a poacher waiting for scraps. Brown has made big strides this season and if he does the same next summer, we will have a very decent player on our hands. He also is perfect as an away forward as he just covers so much ground. Teams like to build from the back, it’s SO much harder to do that without time and space. |

It was put on a plate for him because he was stood on the penalty spot with no-one within 6ft of him in any direction. He had to get there, of course but it was literally put right onto his head. I don't have anything against him being included where appropriate but we can't rely on him to be a regular goalscorer, its just not in his DNA, yes I know you csan teach certain things but instinct and composure are not something you can learn. |

What was the dart celebration all about? A good quote that shows Brown's value to the team and how he makes other players look better: Holden told StokeonTrentLive: “D’Margio has picked up some really good positions on the back of the opposition midfield. It’s a position where centre-backs sometimes don’t want to get dragged into. “It’s about partnerships as well and Browny makes those unselfish runs behind that stretches the opposition so that D’Margio can appear in pockets of space." |

Remove the words 'Jacob Brown' and replace with 'Jon Walters' and i'd think the year was 2015. 🤣 In all seriousness he has shown massive improvement on last season and hopefully that continues. Campbell looks a shadow of his former self and I'm not convinced its to do with the injury and despite his 3 month good spell last year he has only scored 17 in his career for us. Nowt to suggest he's a 20 goal a season man. Hopefully something changes but based on today he will struggle to get ahead of DWP and Brown. I get the comparison with Walters, but I don't see Brown ever being as good as Walters was or having a career in the top flight like Super Jon did. Walters didn't become a Premier League regular until his late 20s. Brown is 23. |

Brown is one of those players that is always going to be divisive like SJW was. Personally I love the lad and appreciate what he brings to the team. But people always have an agenda when it comes to him no matter how well he plays. I think the people that don't like him no matter what are the same people that stand up to wipe their arse

Let's hope, like normal I'm totally wrong and we get promoted after he has banged in 25 goals and then he goes on to score 15 goals in our first season up and we finish mid-table |

Positives: Puts in a great shift and real team player Gets into some great attacking positions Plenty of pace uses it to defend as well as attack and never goes missing Things to work on: Holding the ball up - gets knocked off the ball too easily, only young though and could possibly bulk up a bit Obviously his goal record - bit more composure when he gets in Link-up play is below par, his pace gets him into some great attacking positions and if he could just pick out a clever pass he could affect the game more. Sure that could be worked on with the coaches He is young and improving and he can work on some of his negatives Absolute myth he is quick. Seen plenty of centre half’s out sprint him this season. must be his action. He’s awful, sorry don’t rate him at all. |

Yes, he had to get in that position. He lost his marker on the edge of the box by drifting behind him and got into space, then moved to where a traveling ball was heading. He was not standing still when that ball came in. I’ve just rewatched it to check. He judged the cross appropriately and met the ball to apply a solid finish. “Composure” is definitely something that you can learn. There are classes for public speaking, there are training sessions for shooting or movement in crowded areas and distribution under pressure. Some people may be more composed than others, but it is certainly something that can be taught. |

Personally I like him.. he puts in a shift and scores a fair few goals. I can see the Walter's comparison.
He's not the most skilled player we have, that's for sure, but he's a valuable member of our squad in this league as far as I can see.

I f#@king love Browny he's a top class lad and should be every kids role model.
He might not be the most skillful player in the world / league / club or even our strikers, but did he give up? Did he bollocks. He has rolled his sleeves up and worked as hard as he can to make himself the best that he can.
How many of us can say that about ourselves?
I don't get the whole let's beat him down etc, he should be appreciated for always trying to improve and never ever giving up.
Well done Browny lad.

The Ted Hanley clip is a classic, I’d forgotten about it. Funny as fuck! |

It took Vardy a few years of league football in a decent side to start getting brilliant returns, when he was in the peak of his physical condition aged 26/27.
