I agree Bayern, but are we then playing Campbell down the middle?

I agree, but I also think DWP has been great when given the chance. Yeah he's played really well. I'd start him over Brown against Luton. I think you would start a stop sign before Brown

Just that after his performance against Brum and DWP's cameo, DWP deserves the chance. Brown to come on from the 60th minute and exploit tired legs.

Brown to come on from the 60th minute and exploit tired legs. I'm not convinced by Campbell in the middle when playing 3 on top. To me he needs someone beside him in a 4 4 2 formation when played in the middle. If we play 4 3 3 I think he is way more effective on the right wing. I'm not too fond of Brown in the middle either, but at least he goes for headers and commit himself. In reality we only have 3 players who can fill in as our central striker in this formation and those are Maja, Powell and Fletcher as I see it.

But Brown is hopeless up front on his own. When has Campbell shown he can act as a focal point? He isn’t good in the air or at holding the ball up with his back to goal. Can’t think of a good game as a lone striker and even in a two he drifts right. One of the reasons we went back to 4-3-3 was because it suits Campbell so much more. Brown much more effective than Campbell centrally though Brown also better on the right of a 3.

I can't agree sorry. Brown can't hold the ball up period. Campbell can. Campbell is one of the best players wide on the right in a 3 in the league. Brown isn't better than Campbell there. And he's not better centrally either.

Is he heck one of the best 3 😆 He's still unproven

Didn't seem to be an end product on Saturday, just a bit of fancy footwork and then lost it most of the time, he was doubled up and sometimes 3 or 4 near him, he needed to shift it quickly and we needed to overload the empty spaces their players were leaving, but he was fannying about too much at times. All of that is true, but he typically had one option. A pass back to Tymon, who wasn’t going to take on the overlap with 3 defenders to beat. Clucas was nowhere near him all game, neither was Baker for that matter when he went further forward. Indeed, he'll be much better when Powell is back and Clucas is doing something else with his Saturdays.

Not read any of the posts in this thread but I will give you my opinion,
He is not upper championship level, seems to be a lot missing from his game.

He's very raw but has all the tools to be better than upper championship. I think we might get him back next season. Not going to get much playing time at Villa. He only turned 20 a couple of weeks ago and came into pro football quite late I think.

Pre injury maybe,at the moment he isn't even close.

He is very quick and has a few tricks up his sleeve, which are great to watch. But he has not produced anything yet. He’s on loan to learn how to be a team player. Right now he isn’t.

His hold up play is not the best but that’s not his primary role which is only needed when we play a long ball. For that we need Fletcher. The last time I checked he’s our top scorer (9) and the only player who is likely to reach 15 this season. Brown in the middle and Campbell on the right is our best option because there’s no-one better than Campbell on the right and no-one better than Brown of the others up front.

It would happen to the world's best... SCFC is a destroyer of careers right now. I'm surprised Baker has lasted so long, it must be a matter of time before he gets absorbed too.

Yes, but vs Fulham then vs Swansea he was awesome. Something cannot be right there. perhaps another Leo Ostigard that has fallen foul of our manager perhaps else surely he would be playing
