You reckon? On occasion but whoever the target man is would play down the middle (?) Jesus Christ, Brown deffo can’t lead the line. If fact he doesn’t really have a defined role part from chasing. Squad player at best. We would be in same position as last season with him as top man upfront. He’s decent enough at this level on the right of a front three , it’s pretty simple to see and anything else as you say is nonsense

IF we signed Jayden, hopefully Campbell goes back on the right and Brown can be a sub

Can't see Villa letting him go cheap. Especially with the bigger matchday squads allowed next season.

Can't see Villa letting him go cheap. Especially with the bigger matchday squads allowed next season. Absolutely..... But on the flip side, if he isn't even in or around the "bigger matchday squad" by the new season, then he obviously doesn't have much of a future with Villa, which means maybe, just maybe, we may get him at a decent price???

Still can't see Villa letting him go on the cheap. I don't think the player's wishes will have a great influence on the outcome, but who knows, we could just get lucky. Time will tell if someone else comes in for him.

God, hope he replaces Brown. Could brown be off? Jayden would play wide with brown down the middle. Pisser

The misty-eyed nonsense I see written on here sometimes, is ridiculous. I think it's an example of the way that not only have standards fallen on the pitch, it's also happened within some of our fanbase.

So because Richard Cresswell did a decent job on the left-wing, all those years ago, Jacob Brown's a shoo-in for the right in today's side? I get it, it makes perfect sense!! I'll overlook the fact that there's little technical ability, almost zero football brain, and he's a player who's most effective, when he's got less than a split-second to think about his next move. He's one of the 'first names on the team sheet' that needs to be upgraded. I will agree that his work-rate is superb, he puts in a good shift, and it helps to mask some of his shortcomings.

As far as I can see there are countless bigger problems at SCFC than Jacob Brown and his performances.

Would people be coming to the same conclusion if Brown didn't play for us?

If Jacob Brown is a regular in the starting 11 then we are going to be nowhere near the play offs. Same apples to Thompson,we need much better.

Always thought Jayden was an exciting player who had a tendency to be a little extravagant but with the correct coaching and discipline could be something!

Yeah, I’ve re-read my post and that’s exactly what I said 🙄 Brown and Cresswell are very similar. They’re not pacy (Brown is quicker), neither had/has flair to beat a man, they’re not prolific finishers. They’ve both got great engines, and both complement other players in the team who lack the attributes that they themselves have. It’s a team sport. Jacob Brown could comfortably contribute to a promotion chasing side.

Brown would do realy well in Div 1,but for a team hoping to make the Play offs in the Championship, I don't think he realy is good enough, too often his skill factor let's him down.

To be fair I think people are just saying he’s a decent enough squad player? Which he definitely is.

His style reminds me of Eze a little bit. Obviously nowhere near his level but the kid has potential for sure.

Jacob Brown could comfortably contribute to a promotion chasing side. Other than being right footed they are about as different as they could be. Brown is quick, is totally right sided, very limited technique and has never looked comfortable on the left. Cresswell had little pace but was technically solid and able to play across the line.

Brown has been one of our better performers over the last two seasons and his actual contribution is way better than the ability he is credited with on here. Presuming we replace players from the bottom up he's going to be one of the last to be displaced and even then he'd be making the bench. Thompson is ok as a squad player so given the numbers we need is likely to stay unless he wants regular first team football.

Attitude is a massive bonus with brown though. Campbell who admittedly has more skill has less desire and goals..yet the same people who think brown can't be part of a promotion winning team/squad think Campbell is the all scoring winger we need...well we haven't seen much of this consistently in last 2 years

If we don’t then his footballing limitations really hinder us.

'almost zero football brain' > utter nonsense the runs he makes off the ball into the box are far superior to any other player we have, this is due his footballing brain he gets chances precisely because of these runs I wish Ty (who has good technical ability) was smart enough to make those runs (but if he was he would be in the PL) his technical ability, i.e. his close control does still let him down which is why he will never make higher than Championship but he's not some headless chicken who runs about a lot, if he was he would be many many leagues lower
