I would not sell Brown, we need players like him who give his all for the cause. The players like him are the back bone of our squad.
Should't sell Walters at the time, shouldn't sell Brown now.

Top scorer and player of the year last year. Yes, he can improve (can't they all?) but I'm sure that selling him is the last thing on AN's mind. Woudld hate to come up against him playing for someone else e.g. Millwall.

Walters was sold at the prefect time. He was virtually 34 and played six games after leaving us before retiring. It was the failure to replace him that was the issue.

Brown reminds me a bit of Richard Cresswell. He’s not the most technical player, but he grafts and grafts, has a knack for scoring goals and every once in a while suprises you with the quality he has. He is and will continue to be a really important player for us.

I think some of the fans hate players who graft but aren’t technical types, but give me the former when the latter can’t be arsed. Campbell technically is a much better player, but it’s only recently I think he’s put the shifts in and look at the result.

He’s a squad player. Take away Cov match he’s been awful lately.

And ready for return? He has more class than Brown you know.

He’s not quick neither.

Brown is quite a clever footballer IMO but he works so hard defensively too that it has effect on his offensive play, positioning, runs et cetera.

Thoughts today? Ty was shit but brown back to his normal performance., no control headless chicken self. Powell okay first half but all three forwards dire second.

Game of opinions of course, but Brown is the least intelligent footballer I’ve seen. He has no clue. He’s a reactive footballer not an initiator. Shocking today. Control back to normal standards.

Put in 3 crosses in the first 20 that someone should have scored from. That cross for Campbell was excellent as well.

He was dreadful yesterday. I cannot forgive a forward shitting out of a 50/50 with the keeper then rolling around like he's been shot. It was a simple tap in if he'd have been committed to the challenge. Once again first half a simple ball would have given Tye a one on one with the keeper. He contributes coming off the bench or he leaves would be my take on it.

Good squad player. Great addition to a starting 11 in certain circumstances, usually away from home.
Overall however he is poor and not to the standard required to get promoted from this league.

Typical Brown performance yesterday, did some good stuff and some pretty ordinary stuff.
Put in a couple of great crosses first half but messed up a simple pass to Campbell which would have put him through on goal.
He mainly spent the second half falling over.

I didn’t watch yesterday but I’ve watched enough of him to know he isn’t a striker and should never be used there. Hopefully some lessons there were learned for AN.

He got himself injured after backing out in a challenge with the keeper that he was definitely going to win.

I thought he and wilmot were our best players yesterday Campbell did ok as did Sterling those who came up short yesterday were elsewhere most notably pearson but it doesn’t suit some agendas

Been saying the same for 18 months, if he starts more than 15 games next season we will not get promoted, time will tell

Maybe like the Pearson situation that reverence seems to blind some posters.

Squad player but not a starter,bring him on to use his running when the other teams defenders are getting tired.

Utter rubbish on Saturday, offers nothing whatsoever to the team other than a little pace but that’s it.
Opposition teams know when he’s in possession he hasn’t got the ability to go past them let alone pick out dangerous crosses.
Of late I’ve noticed he’s forever committing stupid fouls and on Saturday he was beyond useless.

For me he goes down too easily. Friday he leapt out of a challenge by their goalkeeper which could have left both players badly injured. I am not sure if the goalkeeper caught him or not but he definitely did not play the ball. Brown in my opinion did the right thing for both players safety.

It’s about the most infuriating part of his game. Goes down so easily when he’s not being fouled.
