I haven’t seen much of the last two games so I’m in the dark.
How’s he doing?

Looked really good today I thought.
Big, strong, quick and fiery.
Hopefully will score soon and when he does I think he’ll score a load more.

Ran himself in to the ground. The quality is there and the sharpness will come. Like how he genuinely has the passion of a fan too.

Thought he looked good. Short of match sharpness, it’s a step up for him playing competitively in this league but I think once he’s up to speed he’ll be twatting em in from all angles. And supplying chances, he’s that kind of player.

I would like to see more of him and Campbell playing together Yes they seemed to have a bit of telepathy between them although nothing really came off. That chance at the end when Campbell gave it to DWP when Delap was wide open🤦🏻♂️

I would like to see more of him and Campbell playing together I think if we can form a solider foundation we could get by using Campbell's superior ability but unarguably lesser workrate instead of Brown but you know what our fans are like they'll want the runner everytime.

I liked that at one point there were about 18 Blackburn players trying wrestle him off the ball & he outmuscled the lot of them. Got tired towards the end but that's to be expected. Liked the look of him, think him, Gayle & Campbell could well really hit it off as a front three. (Assuming we stick with 4-3-3).

The behind goal camera showed how wide DWP and Delap were. DWP should have shot too.

I want the one who scores the most goals. So far that has been Brown, although Campbell looked as sharp as I've seen him for some time in his cameo today. Back onto Delap, and he is just the kind of big presence up front we've been crying out for, and once he's up to speed he's gonna be a real asset by the looks of it.

The kid looks like a winner to me. Plays with an intensity and level of aggression that you expect from the very top players. Doesn't look like a 19 year kid just starting out his career that's for certain.
He must be an absolute nightmare to play against. Runs the channels brilliantly (reminded me a lot of Fuller on a few occasions today) and as Bayern says, once one goes in, he'll take some stopping.

But I’ll forgive him today😉

He looks like a pain in ass to play against. Very physical. Probably the best option if we play with a lone striker. Also seems like a great partner for any of our other strikers. Only complaints I’d have is he hasn’t had enough of the ball to show what he can do, and he doesn’t look ready for a full 90 yet.

In Brown, Gayle, Campbell and Delap - and given the service - it looks like we have four forwards capable of scoring 15-20 goals in the Championship. Powell could be added to the mix too.

Strong , enthusiastic , skillfull , he just a needs a bit of luck. Once the first goes in and gives him more confidence I can see him getting 15 - 20 goals this season.

Looks strong. Tires fairly easily, but that may change as he gets used to battling 50-50 all game at a senior level.

Defenders know they in a game for sure Powell back soonish, he could exploit Delaps tying up of two and sometimes 3 defenders

It’s a shame he’s not been in too many shooting positions to see how good his finishing really is. It will all come though.
Love how fiery he is. Always up for a battle which is needed at this level.

As in they seemed as though they knew what each other were doing. Probably still doesn’t make any sense

For a 19 year old he is a beast
He will bring so much to the team.
Movement, awareness, hold up, link up.
I’m no quite excited to see how we develop this season
Just fuck of injuries and don’t derail us

A massive step up from U18/21 football and a long time out injury.
He is showing a strong physical presence and he appeared to enjoy his battle today with the 17 yo Blackburn C/H. He is here to learn the game and again tiring as expected after the hour point otherwise could have got on the end of speculative crosses.
Credit he loves the battle which other players may benefit from, thus with time i am sure will be a big part of the team. Both Gayle and Delap once they score might tighten their sharpness and confidence on finishing which will see Stoke climb the table.

Bit of patience required that’s all. It’s a long season

In short he was excellent today
